Hey, makers!
We are so excited to launch on PH today!
Our story started over four years ago when my two non-tech cofounders and I were building our very technical startup. After we raised our first round and moved from Europe to Silicon Valley, we had a massive problem of hiring and managing our technical team. We tried to work with several outsourcing companies, but it was such a mess, and it really felt like they were stuck somewhere in the nineties.
So, after we exited, we started to build a service that would help startups hire and scale their technical teams. At the same time, Andy Baynes with an executive background at Apple, Nest and Google joined us as a 4th cofounder.
Our vision is simple: take care of all possible overhead of hiring and running a team, so founders can focus on building a great product. We are no-bullshit, transparent and obsessed with helping our clients grow.
It was never our intention to build another outsourcing agency. A big story for us is to bring all experience of hiring and running your team online, aid it with actionable data insights and scale it worldwide. We understood pretty early on that for this to work out, we would need to figure out how to nail all the offline staff: recruitment, HR, offices, etc. From our first client, we were gathering tons of data and applied all the lean technics you would do while building a product company. We also tried to automate everything we can in all our processes. That made us faster, cheaper and much more efficient than other similar companies out there.
Today we are making the first step towards the long-term vision with a plan to digitalize everything from recruitment and onboarding of your team to day-to-day management and analytics over the 2020 timeline.
Join us on a mission to change how tech teams are hired and managed in the future. Please, give us feedback. We love it!
Excited by the way you work and the quality of newly-launched product.
I wish I had a remote team!

@daniil_kutsyna this is the best comment ever! Thanks so much, Dan for believing in us so early on!
For the context: Dan was one of the first engineers to join us over a year ago when we just started. Back then we had only the idea of what we want to do and the future was so uncertain. What a ride!

Congrats on the launch!
Great to see product owner and UX/UI designer as options for recruitment, there are not only the developers positions on your platform. But do you plan to add some other non-tech positions?

@ihor_levenets1 Thanks for the question, Ihor! As any other start-up we try to find the right balance between being very focused on what we do best and provide enough choice for our users. Currently we already have successful experiments around hiring customer success and pricing analyst positions for our current clients and we are really looking forward to expanding this capabilities in the future. As for the product and UX/UI positions we think it's essential to be able to hire them together with the core dev team.
Love the Apple and Google background of Global Talent co-founders. Wish you prosperity and success!
