How Monte Carlo Filled 2 Senior Engineering Roles in 3 Weeks

A Lean Ambitious Team Looking for Better Data

Monte Carlo’s recruiting team is lean, but mighty. With four recruiters split across technical and go-to-market roles, they manage sourcing across engineering, security, data, design, and sales.

Like many teams, they’ve cycled through different tools over the years. 

However, each came with friction: outdated profiles, clunky workflows, expensive pricing, and in some cases, data that didn’t match what was actually on LinkedIn.

“We’ve used a lot of different platforms... SeekOut, LinkedIn Recruiter, Findem. We kept trying everything. And then Juicebox came on the scene.”

Monte Carlo didn’t just need another sourcing platform, they needed something more accurate, and with built-in collaboration capabilities that would help them scale. 

Starting Every Search with Juicebox

Today, Juicebox powers sourcing across all of Monte Carlo’s engineering and go-to-market roles. 

“I start all my sourcing in Juicebox, and then depending if we're planning on messaging them through LinkedIn — that’s when we’ll take them out of Juicebox.”

For the Monte Carlo team, the biggest immediate difference was our data quality and filter strength. 

“The results are very strong and very aligned with what I’m looking for. The filters — I’m obsessed with the filters in Juicebox.”

Compared to other platforms, their team also noticed more accurate experience and fresher data, making it easier for Monte Carlo’s recruiters to build strong shortlists, faster.

“With other tools, I’d click on a profile and see they’d left the company a year ago. But with Juicebox, I don’t see that as much, I’d say Juicebox is 75 to 80% more accurate than other platforms.”

Collaboration was also easier across the team. Recruiters could share company presets and filter logic, so everyone started with the same foundation, especially helpful when onboarding new teammates.

“Matt made a filter pre-set with all our ideal target companies. Now when someone new joins, they can just use that filter preset and add on to it.”

Built to Work with Existing ATS Workflows

Juicebox also integrates easily into Monte Carlo’s recruiting stack. Specifically Ashby, their ATS of choice.

“I think it's really good. The jobs from Ashby are all there in Juicebox. I haven't had any integration issues!”

One of Monte Carlo’s favorite features is the ability to instantly see if a candidate already exists in Ashby directly from Juicebox.

“It’s nice that through Juicebox, I can see if a candidate is already in Ashby. That signal is really helpful.”

That visibility helped prevent duplicate outreach, and saved the team from switching between tools and tabs mid-search.

“With other tools, sometimes I have to double-check in Ashby, and it’s annoying to go back and forth. So the fact that you have that signal of whether they’re already in Ashby — that’s really helpful.”

Hiring 2 Senior Engineers in 3 Weeks

The first two hires Monte Carlo made using Juicebox were two senior backend engineers. Both roles were filled quickly, and with Juicebox, the process looked very different from the past.

Brenda used Juicebox filters to narrow candidates by tenure and company, helping her focus faster and avoid reviewing irrelevant profiles.

“We’re very into filtering for high tenure. The filter for time span at companies is really, really strong for us and very aligned with what we’re looking for.”

Compared to legacy tools, the team found Juicebox to be simpler, faster, and better designed for day-to-day use.

“It’s probably cut my sourcing time in half. Findem was super clicky, with a lot of steps. Juicebox is cleaner and quicker to use.”

Juicebox didn’t just help surface net-new candidates, it even helped surface talented profiles in Matt’s networking, including one candidate who we made an offer to who’d been in his network all along.

“I knew her from New Relic, but didn’t think to reach out. Juicebox reminded me — and that’s who we hired.”

For Monte Carlo, Juicebox became more than just another sourcing tool. 

“Juicebox is definitely the one I’ve used the most, and the one that I’ve probably gotten the most value out of.”

The results were clear:  

• Total talent sourcing time was cut by 50% across the team

• Saved time on duplicate sourcing efforts by easily integrated with their ATS workflow

• Collaboration features enabled more scalable solutions as their team grows

For a high-performing recruiting team that’s seen every tool, Juicebox stood out for its data quality, ATS integration, and collaborative features.
