Building the foundation for scalable international hiring at Saga

Saga is building an AI platform that helps legal teams work smarter. To take the company into new markets, it needed to scale its technical and commercial teams internationally, and fast. There was just one problem: the hiring infrastructure wasn’t there yet.

Saga didn’t need a few quick placements. It needed an operation. So we embedded senior recruiters into the team and built the foundation the company could keep hiring on, long after the first roles were filled.

We mapped competitors, talent pools and salaries across markets, helped define Saga’s core values and turned them into clear hiring criteria, and gave leaders the structured interviews, scorecards and training to select consistently. We set up Recruitee and designed the process, workflows and automation around it. In the middle of all that, we delivered 25 impact hires while Saga grew from 30 to 75 people, so the team taking the company into its next phase was already in place.
