Phone Interview
Verified
The client needed to look internationally for flexible ReactJS manpower. Brainhub came to them with the right resources to support the development of a sales management software product.
Brainhub exceeded the client's expectations and they will continue to work together as needed. The client appreciated the developers' resourcefulness in the face of constraints and complex requirements.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We're a small software startup, and we create sales management software for the automobile industry in Scandinavia. I am currently the chief executive officer/chief technology officer.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Brainhub?
We needed qualified ReactJS developers. We had a hard time finding that in the market, so we went to Poland and to Brainhub.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
The staff found Brainhub to be incredible. The sales effort was really effective. The resources we worked with in Brainhub were above our expectations. They were really good guys. They were working remotely. I went there for a visit for a couple of days just to meet and greet and agree on the contract details. They did all the work remotely using Slack to communciate with my developers, and that worked really well.
How did you come to work with Brainhub?
Their sales manager contacted us. I think he used LinkedIn. He did a pretty cool canvassing job [direct outreach] on us actually. The initial contact was with a colleague of mine and he said that these guys might be good. Then that was it. We started talking, and it turned out we couldn't identify a single project because we have changing priorities, and we needed a little bit of stuff done here and there. We ended up body shopping one developer from them for three months. The purpose of that was to identify and to clarify if they could be used for scaling out capacity. We did the three months, and they were perfect for scaling. We have them on the list now if we need to scale on React and JavaScript.
How much have you invested with Brainhub?
It was 300 Danish krone per hour, and it was full time at 40 hours a week. [~ $22,000 total].
What is the status of this engagement?
May 2016 through July 2016.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
How did Brainhub perform from a project management standpoint?
We're using JIRA as a project management tool, and then we used Slack for direct communication between developers. We had a couple of project managers, but they were at that point not involved using Slack. They were more involved using JIRA. Other than that, there was a lot of direct communication between developers. The main thing was that they didn't need a lot of support. I've worked with other externals that basically said they knew everything about that form and the technology, and when it came down to it, they needed a lot of help. These guys didn't need any help at all. They were just up and running in hours, even though our platform can be pretty complex. They just got it up and running locally. When they were delayed on getting access to some data, they created some mock-ups really fast so they could continue working.
What did you find most impressive about Brainhub?
Working without being pampered, without needing a lot of assistance, and only asking the right questions. Also, not being afraid to ask when they had a real question. Some people don't ask when they need to, and these guys ask when they had real questions. They didn't ask for stuff that a normal good developer should know.
Are there any areas Brainhub could improve?
No, not really. They did a good job, and they performed better than expected. I will be using them again if I need to scale capacity on that side of the platform.

Brainhub's expertise led to successful milestones for the project. The client's process went smoother since the beginning of their partnership with the vendor. They were flexible enough to extend their stay for two more months on short notice, as well. Communication was proactive and professional.
