The challenge

Following Entrepreneur First and their seed round, Borderless engaged Scene as their first external recruiting partner. Prior struggles to find quality at scale had impacted leadership bandwidth, internal culture, and growth.

What Scene built

Across two short hiring sprints, Scene placed six people across Engineering, GTM and Strategy & Ops, rebuilding the core technical infrastructure.

The outcome

The team enabled product-market fit to be established and set Borderless up for a Series A raise, plus product and geographical expansion. Scene has since introduced three customers to Borderless in the last 12 months.

What our clients said

Intro to Scene came from our Investor network, a peer company, who'd had a great experience and I have now recommended Scene to multiple founders and investors based off speed of execution plus communication and candidate quality
