Peru needed pet food.
Nestlé Purina used
Braintrust to get it there.
The Challenge
Nestlé Purina launched a major initiative to go where no competitors had gone by creating a new direct-to-consumer buying experience for pet owners in Peru. To beat the competition to market, CIO Goran Kukic needed to do something he had never done before–quickly scale up his IT team in a matter of days.
“To keep up with innovation, we needed an easy way to find verified talent without the pain of searching, hiring, and onboarding.”

Chief Innovation Officer, Nestle
The process
Braintrust built Goran a custom profile on the platform
Talent specialists took the time to learn about his project and outline his needs–then tailored and published his job postings for free.
Braintrust introduced him to pre-vetted talent within 48 hours
With thousands of the world’s top tech talent already in the network, Braintrust matched Goran with the talent he was looking for in just hours.
Braintrust helped onboard the entire team within two weeks
Goran used Braintrust to handle everything from invoicing to compliance, which meant he had time to focus on the things that matter most.
The obstacles
Competition was moving in fast
Goran’s team had a window of opportunity but they needed to move quickly if they wanted to beat the competition.
Hiring the old way wasn’t working
Hiring in-house would take at least four months and the agency they normally relied on was struggling to find quality talent.
He had a strict budget
Goran needed to maximize his resources but third-party party markups and hiring fees made it impossible.
