Create a Resilient HealthTech Product Core.
With a focused tech talent search engine, Livlong partnered with Swabhav Techlabs to build a senior .NET and Node leadership pod that could keep up with HealthTech-scale growth.

THE VISION
Livlong’s product ambition was clear: an integrated HealthTech experience combining payer–provider offerings like doctor consultations, lab tests, health plans, wellness packages, and home care. But the engineering bandwidth behind it was constrained.
- Employer branding gaps meant high-quality candidates often backed out late in the hiring funnel.
- The company needed urgent deliveries, with critical product work already queued up and timelines slipping.
- Hiring in a work-from-office model post-Covid made it significantly harder to attract senior talent willing to commit.
Beyond pure execution, Livlong needed engineers who could operate in a regulated healthcare environment—understanding complex workflows, managing deep integrations, and taking ownership within a fast-scaling product organization. They were looking for a partner who could deeply understand the HealthTech talent market, represent their story credibly, and close senior roles quickly without compromising on quality.

THE SOLUTION
Addressing the core challenges
Instead of doing ad-hoc sourcing, Swabhav built a structured search engine around Livlong’s context:
Company & role alignment
- Sat with tech leadership and HR to understand the healthcare product roadmap, architecture, and team culture.
- Clarified responsibilities, growth path, and impact for each senior .NET and Node role so we could pitch a real story, not just a JD.
Talent market intelligence
- Ran a focused TAM–SAM–SOM style mapping of the .NET Core and Node talent market in Mumbai.
- Identified target companies, relevant domains, and work models where senior developers were more likely to consider WFO.
Strategic sourcing process
- Leveraged Swabhav’s proprietary network of 100+ .NET Core and 50+ Node developers in Mumbai.
- Used referral-based sourcing to reach 634 similar profiles through their connects, creating a high-quality funnel instead of spraying the market.
Employer branding & value proposition
- Crafted a clear, honest employee value proposition: the scale of the HealthTech problem, ownership in core product areas, and growth path within Livlong.
- Used this narrative consistently across outreach, screening calls, and leadership conversations to reduce late-stage drop-offs.
Robust candidate screening
- Implemented a solid qualification process: resume matching, technical interviews focused on .NET Core/Node architecture, microservices, and TDD, plus culture-fit rounds aligned to WFO and startup pace.
Onboarding & retention support
- Worked closely with HR to ensure smooth offer roll-out and joining.
- Continued engagement through onboarding to protect offer-to-join ratios and set expectations on delivery, collaboration, and quality from day one.
HOW IT FELT ON THE GROUND :
Instead of a long, uncertain search, Livlong’s hiring team experienced:
- A curated panel of senior candidates who already knew the product context and WFO expectations.
- Technical conversations that went deeper into architecture, testing and ownership instead of basic screening
- Senior hires who could plug into existing teams and lead HealthTech modules to on-time delivery.
By combining talent market intelligence, employer branding and structured screening, Livlong moved from reactive hiring to a deliberate build-out of its engineering core. The result was a high-agency team of senior .NET and Node engineers who could match the speed of the product roadmap—and keep critical HealthTech deliveries on track.
