Markem-Imaje came to Verso for the first time needing an Embedded C++ Software Engineer. What started as a single-role search ended with them hiring two people instead of one.

The brief

The brief was straightforward on paper: fill one Embedded C++ Software Engineer position. It was Markem-Imaje's first time working with Verso.

The shortlist

Verso put together a shortlist of qualified candidates for the role.

The outcome

The strength of the shortlist changed the outcome. Rather than making one hire, Markem-Imaje decided to bring on two people instead of one.

"It was the first time we worked with Verso, but definitely not the last. The shortlist of qualified candidates meant we ended up hiring two people, not one."
