A curious question, how do you convince clients for a resource outside their region other than cost reasons?
Alfie Lloyd
@philip_terry Hi Philip, thanks for the great question! Of course, the cost is a big factor since most teams these days work with some element of remote or asynchronous work, so saving on costs without sacrificing experience, skills or workflow is perfect. Additionally, given the nature of local hiring (most notably in the US) there is a lot more competition from the employers which drives down the retention rate of employees to an average of 12 months. Since our talents are based globally, they're typically a lot more loyal and committed to the cause with less incentive to jump ship, our average retention rate is over 2 years. I hope this helps, thanks again :)

Lots of great talent there for devs. I have a similar project I'm building, but it's for hiring marketing roles from my country, South Africa.

@cameronscully_ That sounds great Cameron! Looking forward to supporting your launch

At first I thought: oh another VA thing.. But then I see you tackle the higher quality and more skilled portion of the market. Very clever. I also like how you make it clear that you know all the obstacles your customers will think of ahead of time and put it upfront with your first comment here. Bravo!
Izzy Fahey
@jonwesselink Thanks so much Jon! I'm glad you like it!
Trent Kennelly
Got to love this kind of service! Huge fan of taking people that know something and using that expertise, rather than just hoping the new hire knows what they need to. Great work, team!
Izzy Fahey
@trent_kennelly Thanks so much Trent!

I think this is such an important aspect of hiring. Especially, right now, both for the companies and for talent. There needs to be more products that are centred around actually wanting to hire people. I want to know, how are you ensuring that companies don't do the ghost posting, basically when they don't actually want to hire someone? Because this happens in a lot of platforms.
Alfie Lloyd
@annie_chopra Hi Annie, great question! Ghost-posting can definitely interfere with the hiring process for everyone involved, to avoid this, our personal recruiting process functions differently to a typical job-board system. Once we meet with our prospective clients, we have a strong gauge of whether the hire is genuine or not. From there, we build an understanding of what they're looking for, we cross-reference that to our talent pool of 10,000+ developers and only engage with the most suitable talents for that role (usually 3-5 ideal candidates). Since this process doesn't explicitly promote the job listing nor the client/company that is recruiting, there's less incentive for them to ghost-post their positions. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment :)

Алексей Соловьев
Congrats on the launch! The very idea of hiring in 24 hrs is hard to believe :) Good luck!
Izzy Fahey
@avisoul Thank you Алексей! Hiring is normally a super long, arduous process - but we believe it doesn't need to be 🌎

This looks like a great resource. I typically hire developers on Upwork but finding the right person takes some time. Having a pre-vetted selection should be really helpful.
Izzy Fahey
@marc_andre1 Thanks Marc, absolutely! Platforms like Upwork can be great price-wise but it's difficult and time-consuming to find the right person. A pre-vetted talent pool guarantees quality and saves loads of time!
