TalentsToday

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a CEO of a startup in online education.

For what projects/services did your company hire TalentsToday, and what were your goals?

In the early stage of my startup, I had developed a prototype that had very positive feedback from the users. I needed help with developing a full-scale application to serve my customer needs.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I had previous experience working with TalentsToday specialists as part of companies where I was the manager. My positive experience of cooperation and mutual trust were the main factors to contact TalentsToday when I decided to launch my own product.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

I hire various specialists for various steps of product development. A talented full-stack engineer helped out to shape and build iteratively and incrementally a reliable product of good quality. A designer helped to shape the future look of the product that distinguish a prototype from the product customers love.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I constantly hire different specialists that I need. Most of the time I work with one-two consultants.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The first full live release, we've built with TalentToday's consultant in less than two months. My previous prototyping and experimenting with hiring different freelance experts took over six months with no results.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Consultants were open to adapt my style. For me, the iterative and incremental approach is the best. We work in two-week iterations with a focus on functionality I need and regular deliverables. I use JIRA to keep product backlog and coordinate work with specialists I engage. We are in constant chat in messengers where I get a regular status update or notification about work done. For planning and clarification of new features, we make a Zoom call.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I was impressed by finding the best fit for my needs from the first candidate. The talent management team really knows what I need and always selects the best fit for the skills I need. I've never had more than one interview :-) The engineers balance good quality with the speed of development and attention to detail.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

So far we continue our cooperation, all good for me.
