Scaling a HIPAA-compliant engineering team from 8 to 22 in one quarter
The Challenge
Orbit Health had just closed a Series B and needed to triple its backend capacity to launch a telehealth product in two new states — but compliance-heavy hiring requirements had stalled their internal recruiting for four months.
Our Solution
We ran a dedicated search for Python/FastAPI engineers with prior HIPAA and SOC 2 experience, adding enhanced compliance screening to our standard 4-stage vetting. Seven engineers were placed across nine weeks, including a staff engineer who led the compliance architecture.
Measurable Outcomes
7 engineers

11 days
average time-to-offer
100%
12-month retention
“The compliance-aware screening saved us months. Every engineer arrived already fluent in HIPAA constraints — that almost never happens.”
