Function Health was growing too fast for its two-person engineering recruiting team to keep up. Near helped them hire 7 senior LatAm engineers in 14 days on average, despite an 8-step hiring process, while saving $323,000 in annual payroll.
Function Health is a healthtech startup. Named as one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies of 2025, they’re rewriting preventive medicine with AI-analyzed MRI scans and 160+ lab tests. They’re valued at $2.5 billion and scaling fast.
They needed engineers who could automate manual workflows, harden backend systems, improve deployment reliability, strengthen QA, and support mobile and frontend performance as the product scales.
However, they were trying to scale quickly with only two internal recruiters while running an 8-step interview process that included deep technical screens, coding assessments, and culture-fit interviews.
They knew they couldn’t risk rushing the hiring process and wasting months on bad fits.
Like most fast-scaling teams, Function Health faced a familiar set of concerns about how to efficiently fill their candidate pipeline:

Near took on the sourcing, screening, and coordination work so Function Health’s internal team could stay focused on evaluating talent and making the right calls. As a result, they quickly hired 7 engineers to keep pace with their growth.

Function Health will keep growing, and their hiring will have to continue to move at the same speed without compromising on their standards.
Their experience shows that companies don't have to choose between speed, quality, and the cost savings that come with hiring in Latin America. With the right recruiting partner, you can have all three.
