The Liquid Lunch Project Software Development Solutions with Alex Svinov, CEO of Insquad
Remember when The Jetsons seemed like a fun, far-fetched fantasy of what the future would (or could) look like? Nowadays, it doesn’t seem so crazy. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, with everyone racing to stay ahead.
We’ve said it before on the show (and it’s 1000% likely we’ll say it again), but your business, regardless of industry, must be partnering closely with technology. Of course, not everyone is a tech whiz. While large corporations have entire teams of specialists and developers on the payroll, that’s a luxury many startups and small to medium-sized businesses cannot afford.
But with every problem comes the opportunity for a solution. Meet Alex Svinov, co-founder and CEO of Insquad, a Talent Cloud platform to hire senior startup developers globally. Their mission is simple: Find the best engineering talent from around the world, put them through a rigorous vetting process, and then connect them with CEOs who need to outsource software development tasks.
This is no small feat; with IT professionals making up just 1.5% of the population, good help can be hard to find, not to mention the difficulty of hiring for a role you may not completely understand. That’s why a service like Insquad is so valuable; they can get you matched with someone to start on your project in two weeks and save you roughly 50 hours with each hire.
Tune in to learn how Insquad can take the hassle out of outsourcing for your next project, plus thoughts on ChatGPT, AI, and more.
