Phone Interview

Crombie provides ongoing IT staff augmentation services for a custom software development company. They find, interview, and onboard candidates to work on software development projects for end clients.
The client is satisfied with Crombie’s outstanding screening process and software developers. Team members execute as needed and seamlessly deliver high-quality work. Moreover, they integrate well with the internal team and communicate effectively through emails and virtual meetings.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the president of WeGotCode. We do custom business software and system integrations.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Crombie?
We needed subcontractors to work on some client projects.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Crombie provides software development services. We typically contact our advisor at Crombie and let them know what we’re looking for. We usually need to bring in somebody to a project. They submit resumes for us to review, and we take the ones we want to interview.
After the interview process, we choose the candidate and sign an agreement with their schedule. When the developer comes on board, we go through an orientation process with them to explain the project. From there, we go through two-week sprint cycles with the developers. We just give them a list of tasks to perform, and they update us about the progress on a daily basis.
The developers work remotely. We typically ask for Microsoft development and web development experience.
What is the team composition?
We’ve had four people working with us through Crombie. They’ve all been senior developers.
How did you come to work with Crombie?
They reached out to us. I met their client representative in Atlanta a few years ago; she was doing a US tour.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent approximately $150,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in June 2021, and our relationship is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve had a couple of successful implementations using Crombie’s developers. Moreover, we’ve never had any problems with any teammates; they’ve been able to execute as needed. They consistently deliver high-quality work.
Overall, Crombie has a good team, and we’ve been happy with them.
How did Crombie perform from a project management standpoint?
We do the project management internally, but they primarily oversee the developers. Teammates are deeply integrated with the projects and timelines. Although they’re not on-site, the developers keep us in the feedback loop. Crombie checks in on them frequently and ensures they have what they need.
We mainly communicate through emails. Additionally, we sometimes have online meetings.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
We’ve worked with Pavel (FullStack .Net Consultant) for quite a while.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The quality of their developers is impressive. Crombie does a good job of screening people.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Our biggest issue is that they send invoices in Spanish, and they're hard to interpret.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I recommend doing thorough interviews before moving forward with anybody and keeping a constant feedback loop with Crombie’s management about developer performance.

Crombie provided mobile app development resources to an innovation company to support a blockchain-related project. They built the app for iOS and Android, using Laravel as the main technology.
The end client is now moving into a pilot stage using the app built by Crombie, which has 30 active users testing it. So far, the feedback has been great due to the app’s stability and usability. The team was knowledgeable, responsive, and communicative and offered excellent project management.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the VP of Innovation at Phiquest, an innovation company. We help early-stage entrepreneurs develop their idea, business policies, and procedures and bring them to an MVP stage.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Crombie?
We needed to augment our staff for mobile app development.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Crombie provided us with a developer to support a blockchain-related mobile app development project we were working on. Before engaging with them, we were working with a different development team, but our engagement didn’t go well. Thus, when they joined, we explained our end goal and what we had thus far, and they essentially brought the project across the finish line for us. To develop this product, we used Laravel as the main technology stack, and we built it for iOS and Android.
What is the team composition?
We worked mainly with a project manager and a developer. Still, at one point, we had two people from Crombie working on the app.
How did you come to work with Crombie?
We found them through a mutual contact.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together around April 2021, and the project ended in June 2022. However, we plan to use them again in the future.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Thanks to the app built by Crombie, our client is now moving into a pilot stage. The app currently has 30 users using it, but those numbers aren’t a reflection of its success yet because the app is still unpublished. As for the quality of the app, it is very stable, and those users seem to be enjoying it. So far, the reviews have been very positive.
How did Crombie perform from a project management standpoint?
Crombie’s project management was excellent; I can’t say enough good things about that. We used ShareTable and Google Drive to collaborate, as well as email, Slack, and Google Meet for daily communication.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Crombie’s communication and responsiveness are excellent, and they have really knowledgeable staff working for them.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, we were very pleased with them.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Make sure to set expectations very clearly upfront, set deadlines, and ensure you follow up frequently.

Crombie has delivered the web solution on time despite the complexity of the project, meeting the client's expectations. A flexible partner, they are responsive and are able to quickly accommodate the client's requests. Their expertise and commitment to the project allowed for a smooth workflow.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the Technical Director of an agency that does work for a number of clients from small to large.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Crombie, and what were your goals?
We hired Crombie to help us create a front-end heavy website in a tight timeline. This project made use of advanced scroll effect features on top of WordPress and ACF.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We had reached out to Crombie before as a potential partner after finding them on Clutch, and had identified this project as a good chance for us to work together.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had a kick-off meeting to show off the comps and animation details. We made use Slack for communication, Bitbucket for the code repo, Invision and Sketch for the designs, and WordPress, Wow.js, and Scroll Magic for the codebase.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We worked with an account manager and a developer directly on Slack and in Zoom calls.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We were able to drive the project to a succesful completion. We had struggles due to the complexity of the front-end experience which caused us to have to revisit our designs and make major changes. Crombie was responsive and supportive through all of our requests.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
We had Zoom calls twice a week or as needed, and communicated on Slack as well. We had an initial deadline, which Crombie helped us hit, and we maintained ongoing work beyond that initial launch for further tweaks and work on the site.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They had existing knowledge of scroll-based experiences using Scroll Magic, and they were incredibly flexible with our variety of changes throughout the execution.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We could've used more help in the scroll effects / motion / animation - getting the 'feel' just right. This was expertise that we were missing ourselves, and could have helped us out on the project. I don't believe this was a shortcoming of Crombie as much as our own lack of experience in creating such involved/advanced experiences previously.

SOLUTION
What challenges were you trying to address with 4R Soluciones?
We just finished a project with them in which they developed the front end and back end of a platform for one of our clients.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They developed our platform.
What is the team composition?
I’m not completely sure as work directly with the project manager but it should be around five people.
How did you come to work with 4R Soluciones?
They contacted us, I honestly don’t know how they found us, but they were prospecting us for about a year. When a project came up I contacted them and they send a proposal and a budget, we found the price quite accessible. More than anything we really liked how professional their proposal. That made me realize how professional they are and to decide to work with them.
How much have you invested in them?
We invested $3,000 USD
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in November 2019 and we have continued working with them in other projects.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I can´t say anything but good things about them. They’re great, very professional, very fast, and their work is flawless. We’ve had great results and it is just great for us to count on suppliers we can trust. Also, they’re based in Argentina, so we are far from each other but despite that, we have been able to work very closely, we don’t even feel the distance.
How did 4R soluciones perform from a project management standpoint?
We haven´t used any specific tools but they are always on time; they sometimes even deliver the projects early. Their project management has been great.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They are great at everything. If I had to pick something, it would be that they are super fast and they know what they are doing.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I couldn’t say anything.
