Pallaw Sharma

"When we needed to concentrate our workplace strategy on the best growth markets for top engineering talent, we looked to Terrain data to help us understand which were the best growth markets that had the deepest talent pools. We were able to quickly understand the best cities for us with the right talent, while streamlining our operations to achieve significant cost savings."

"When one of our portfolio companies was struggling to hire top talent in their core market, we tapped Terrain to help identify optimal markets to expand into. Their data helped us determine where the best, deepest and most cost-effective talent pools were that mapped to our companies specific technical requirements. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results."

Hannah Johnson
