Through precision hiring and targeted global sourcing, Airwork helped Housecall secure the right FHIR Engineer with a 90% match shortlist in less than a month.

Timeline
This was not a typical technical hire.
The FHIR Engineer role was completely new for our team. We did not have existing candidates in our internal talent pool or extended network. The specialization required deep healthcare interoperability experience, which is a niche skillset that is not widely available across standard hiring channels.
Without the right sourcing strategy, this role could have easily taken months to fill.
Instead of relying on traditional sourcing, we built the talent pipeline from scratch.
Step 1: Market Mapping
We researched global hotspots for FHIR expertise and discovered a strong concentration of experienced FHIR engineers in India.
