Reibus Empowers its Engineering Leads to Own the Recruitment Process Using Perfect

About Reibus

Reibus is the leading digital platform for buying and selling steel and other metals, offering end-to-end services including logistics and financing. As a fast-growing, technology-driven marketplace, Reibus relies on strong engineering leadership to continuously scale and innovate its platform.

The Challenge

As Reibus scaled rapidly, hiring high-quality engineering talent became increasingly critical. Brian Cumming, Director of Software Engineering, noticed a growing gap. The business was expanding fast, but recruiting couldn't keep pace with specialized engineering needs.

The recruiting team was handling dozens of business roles across departments. Engineering positions with deep technical requirements kept getting pushed down the priority list. Generic hiring approaches weren't cutting it for specialized roles. Brian needed to take control.

But taking ownership meant adding another full-time job to his plate. Manual sourcing on LinkedIn. Screening hundreds of profiles. Crafting personalized outreach. Making gut-based decisions about technical fit. He needed direct ownership of engineering recruiting without becoming a full-time sourcer, data-driven decisions instead of gut-feel screening, and speed to identify qualified candidates aligned with technical preferences. All without spending 20+ hours per week on hiring tasks.

The Solution

Brian turned to GoPerfect to bring structure, speed, and intelligence into the process.

How It Worked

Adaptive matching. GoPerfect learned what "great" looked like for Reibus engineering roles. The platform analyzed Brian's hiring criteria and delivered a tailored pool of candidates who actually fit.

Data-backed insights. Every candidate came with context. Company tech stack details. Growth signals. Career trajectory patterns. Personalized talking points for outreach.

Targeted engagement. No more generic LinkedIn messages. GoPerfect provided the insights Brian needed to craft outreach that resonated and got responses.

Simplified workflow. The guesswork disappeared. Brian could confidently manage recruiting alongside his leadership responsibilities without the manual grind.

Recruiting shifted from a stressful, time-consuming process into something Brian could own and execute efficiently.

"As a technology leader, recruiting is job number one for me. GoPerfect helps me quickly identify candidates who would be a good fit for my roles. I would never want to go back to recruiting without it."

— Brian Cumming, Director of Software Engineering @ Reibus

Reibus saw immediate, measurable impact.

10 days. That's how long it took to build a pipeline of 100+ relevant engineering candidates. Under 90 minutes of Brian's time invested total.

Higher quality matches with reduced manual screening. Improved retention from better candidate-role alignment. Data-driven decisions replacing guesswork. By enabling engineering leadership to directly own recruiting, GoPerfect helped Reibus move faster, hire smarter, and scale the engineering team with confidence.
