Hire vetted, remote developers working US hours

Second Talent is a global talent platform that connects Startups & Enterprises with AI-native engineering talent from the Philippines, Vietnam and across Asia.

Second Talent was founded after our previous company experienced firsthand how difficult it was to build a reliable engineering team across Asia. We weren't looking to offshore work, we were looking for great engineers. The problem was that the existing platforms weren't built for that. So we built our own.
