How One B Corp’s Two-Year Candidate Search Ends at Handprint: A Mightybytes Case Study
At Handprint, we know that collecting a big stack of resumes is actually bad for everyone. It’s bad for employers, because of the time wasted and the bias that’s likely to go unchecked as a result of the overwhelm. It’s bad for job-seekers, too, as they struggle to differentiate themselves while also meeting the keyword requirements in just two pages.
In our work to foster justice, opportunity, and genuine employee engagement, we designed our platform for impact-driven companies seeking top-tier talent that align with their values and mission. In this case study, we highlight our success in helping Mightybytes, a founding B Corp, find their perfect match for the Director of Growth & Impact position.
A Good Job with a great company
Mightybytes, a certified B Corporation, had been searching for the right candidate for their Director of Growth & Impact position for nearly two years. The Founder of Mightybytes, Tim Frick, had been tirelessly reviewing applications from various hiring platforms, including B Work, Idealist, Indeed, and over a dozen others. Despite receiving 84 applications from these channels, the ideal candidate remained elusive.
In this case, the numbers tell the whole story.
Enter Handprint. Unlike traditional hiring platforms, Handprint.io focuses on quality over quantity, ensuring that the candidates we attract are not only qualified but also deeply aligned with the values of B Corp companies.
Tim received only four applications through Handprint.io. However, the results spoke volumes. Two out of the four Handprint candidates progressed to second interviews (only ONE of the other 84 candidates did!), and the successful hire came from Handprint.
A Testimonial from Tim, Founder & CEO of Mightybytes

Thanks again, Maren. You're definitely on the right track!"
