Fast Growth Meets Smart Delivery – The PayPal Story
When PayPal needed to scale its engineering teams across the U.S. fast, they called Morson Edge. In just six weeks, we delivered 156 qualified candidates across backend, web and mobile development, achieving a 74% technical pass rate and 100% success for iOS hires. It wasn’t luck. It was precision powered by people who know how to move at Silicon Valley speed.
6 Weeks. 156 Candidates. 1 Seamless Partnership.
Scaling global tech hiring at Silicon Valley speed.
When PayPal – one of the world’s leading digital commerce innovators who signed a deal with OpenAI – needed to accelerate hiring across its Consumer Engineering division, they turned to Morson.
The challenge? Make up to 400 hires across three software disciplines – Backend, Web and Mobile – spanning San Jose, New York, and Austin.
A bold target in one of the most competitive talent markets on the planet.
So they called in our specialist team within Morson Edge with deep experience across global engineering markets.
Our mission: expand PayPal’s candidate reach, increase technical test success rates, and deliver a seamless, data-driven solution that complemented their in-house talent acquisition function.

Results that speak for themselves.
Building at pace, powered by precision.
Operating as an embedded extension of PayPal’s talent team, we delivered a 7-week SoW programme to boost hiring velocity and quality simultaneously.
Through global collaboration across Morson’s network, we sourced top-tier engineers while ensuring each candidate met exacting technical and cultural standards.
Our success was rooted in calibration. Working side by side with PayPal’s internal partners, we refined search criteria and pre-qualified every submission through a rigorous assessment process.
You ask, we deliver:
- 26 candidates presented per week
- 156 CVs delivered in just 6 weeks
- 74% average pass rate on technical test
- 100% pass rate for iOS engineers
- 53% conversion from submission to system screen
- Re-engaged for subsequent delivery phase in 2025
By combining our sourcing scale with PayPal’s assessment precision, we built an agile delivery engine that matched the pace and quality of one of tech’s most respected employers.
Smarter sourcing. Sharper delivery.
Making scale feel seamless.
We provided:
- Dual-branded digital campaigns to amplify PayPal’s EVP
- Dedicated sourcing pods across three U.S. regions
- Weekly progress reporting with transparent metrics
- Candidate progression visibility through shared dashboards
- Real-time feedback loops with PayPal’s Head of Talent Acquisition
The result: a partnership that, on top of filling roles, redefined PayPal’s hiring capacity, creating a repeatable blueprint for high-volume tech recruitment done right.
