Hi, fellow PH community 🖖! I'm Rinat, co-founder, and CPO of Insquad and a startup addict in my heart. This is my third startup. 😎 Insquad is a Startup-only focused platform to help hire vetted remote developers super-fast and at half the price of a US developer. Our team is launching Insquad for two reasons: 🟢 First - we are startup founders ourselves - we know how it hurts when your best Python Data Scientist quits with a rich offer from corporate. We've been in these shoes before and want to help the startup community succeed. 🟢 Second - we've found many incredible software talents that are spread all over the world. Quite often, they can't find a job that matches their level and gives them the opportunity for further growth. Fortunately, remote reality opens a lot of opportunities to unlock their potential. As of today 🔵 Our product can vet candidates for seniority in 25 major technologies and frameworks and 15 domains of expertise 🔵 Soft skills evaluation: startup culture fit, communication, and leadership skills assessment 🔵 Hundreds of vetted developers on the platform - all motivated to start working with a US startup We are developing the product further - adding AI vetting in our process, more skills, enhanced user experience, and some nifty things only startups would appreciate. We are building this platform for the fellow startup community - so I'd love to have you try it and give us your feedback! 😀 P.S Сlapping for #1 hunter, @chrismessina! Appreciations for the launch!

@chrismessina @rinat_khatipov1 Hey Rinat, really cool product and love that you enable companies to pay in crypto as well. Could you share what crypto are currently supported as a mode of payment?

The pitch is very compelling. However, there is one thing I don't quite understand. How do you assess whether "the developer is startup ready"? Thanks
Alex Svinov
@sergey_vasin Thanks for your question! Startups are different from corporates in: - pace - culture and hierarchy - focus We test our developers to be prepared to work in fast-paced environment where priorities shift often, no established processes, open communication, and be focused on results. More specifically, we check if they: - Can clearly identify what was the result of their work at previous employers - Are good communicators - Curious to learn new stuff - Can motivate themselves: have goals in life and plans how to achieve them

Interesting! How do you ensure someone after accepting an offer doesn't retract?
Alex Svinov
@neelabh_pandey Thanks for your question! We do this three-way 1 - we offer competitive rates, generally 20% above market for the regions we source developers 2 - we nurture our developer community to share our values and promote responsible activity 3 - we manage startup-dev work post-match, so if something goes wrong - we will either fix the current relationship or find the replacement developer in 24 hrs
