If you’re tired of spending 3-4 months (!!!) finding tech talent… then watching them leave after a year 😠

You’re not alone.

FACTS:

Demand for software engineers has never been higher (it doubled in 2021)

It’s only gonna get worse over the next decade (demand projected to grow 300% more than other fields)

The technology industry has the highest turnover rate for any industry: 13.2% 🤯🤯🤯

All of which means: you’re screwed.

Kidding!!

Well, kinda.

Because here’s what happens to most tech teams that hire today:

01
NEED TALENT
service-1

Company needs great tech talent to augment existing team or tackle new project NOW

02
TAKES TOO LONG
service-2

In-house recruiting team spends 3-4 months, on average, to source, vet, and onboard the engineer

03
IT’S A BAD MATCH
service-3

Talent is poorly matched — because the recruiters are not techies; they don’t have the nuanced expertise to vet properly

04
THEY UP AND LEAVE
service-4

OR talent is great, but engineer leaves after one year for greener pastures. So you need to start all over again. 

Do not pass GO, do not collect $200

BREAKING:
This model is not sustainable.

That’s why we created Talentcrowd.

WHO WE ARE

Geeks who are changing the world

We’re a team of tech leaders & software engineers who’ve headed boutique development firms for nearly two decades.

After hiring and managing thousands of engineers, we realized: the system was broken.

Our motto: If it’s broke, then fix it.

SO WE DID.

OUR PLATFORM

Talentcrowd is the hiring platform that offers *actual* killer tech talent

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could hire rockstars — then track their time, progress, and performance — in one brain-happy place? If you could stop spending your life recruiting — and instead build and ship world-class digital products?

Yep. We thought so.

OUR DIFFERENCE

Why hockey-stick-growth
companies
choose us

Onshore talent only

Here you’ll find only North-America-based, fluent English speakers who are (consistently!) available during normal business hours.

Plus, onshore talent means:

  • Higher average education
  • Better craftsmanship
  • IP protection
  • Fraud prevention.

We get to know *every* freelancer in our community, verifying their credentials, background, and location. So you know exactly who you’re working with.

Competitive rates

Thanks to lean operations and sophisticated tooling, you get competitive, no-surprise pricing that undercuts the market and relies on volume: our rates start at $90/hr. No hidden fees.

And did we mention? Our contractors’ expertise means less hours spent on tasks, back and forth, and bug fixes — inherently reducing overall cost.

Plus, don’t worry about payroll, benefits, stock options, vacation time, unemployment, termination hassle, paperwork, recruiting expenses, blah, blah, blah. We take care of that.

97% retention rate

97% of our candidates stay on for the duration of their role, thanks to our careful matching process and supportive freelancer community.

Generic gig platforms? Blech. We have a more intentional, long-game approach to community-building.

Every platform function we build is geared towards making your talent happy. And happy talent means happy clients.

Zero risk

Enjoy ZERO risk with our money-back guarantee: try us for 2 weeks and if you’re not satisfied, say “sayonara.” No questions asked. (Well, we might ask about your weird Zoom background.)

PLUS get early attrition credit — if a contractor voluntarily bails from the engagement within the first 60 days, we cover the onboarding of a replacement resource.

Frank found talent. Be like Frank

Matt found talent. Be like Matt

Aaron found talent. Be like Aaron

I can’t say enough about the time and talent they have provided us. We could not have successfully delivered this project on time and with this quality without their help. I truly appreciate them. If we ever have a need for services in the future, Talentcrowd will be my first call.

settings
03 Get integrated

As soon as you review and sign off on our recommended freelancer(s), they’ll be ready to integrate into your team — just like an in-house employee.

While our contractors usually work remotely, arrangements can be made to have them on-site.

super-hero
04 Get. Work. Done.

Post-hire, we provide support services like time management, performance monitoring, and communication tools.

What that means: your contractor is set up for max productivity, you’re set up for max transparency, and we’re set up for max bragging rights.

We call that a WIN-WIN-WIN.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions?
We got answers

What are your rates? How much can I expect to pay?

Rates start at $90/hr. The exact rate will depend on the type of contractor you need.

Remember: you *only* pay for time worked — no benefits, no sick days, not even lunch breaks. And thanks to our contractors’ experience and expertise, there’s less time spent on each task, on back-and-forth, and on fixing bugs. So you:

  • Slash your technical debt
  • Minimize expensive context shifts
  • Avoid hours of interviewing duds.

How much is that worth to you? 😉

How long does it take to get matched?

From when you submit a job, we reach out within 2 days with an update — sometimes even with a candidate. Sometimes we match, sign off, and onboard a hire for a client within 2 weeks. Sometimes it takes longer to find the Goldilocks match. 

However long it takes, we’re committed to making the process as fast and hair-pulling-free as possible.

We could promise you a hard timeline — but we’d never do that, for one reason: we are committed to finding you a perfect match. An arbitrary deadline would force us to serve up mediocre matches.

What kind of professionals can I hire through Talentcrowd?

We’ve got every kind of tech contractor you need: 

  • UI/UX Design
  • Back & Front End Development
  • DevOps
  • Mobile Development
  • Project Management
  • QA Testing
  • Cloud Engineering

And we can fill any type of contract: full-time, SOW, freelance, consultants, and everything in between. 

How are you different from other talent platforms?

Other platforms are great…if you can afford to spend hundreds of hours sifting through profiles — many of which feature unreliable or underperforming people. 

And with generic platforms, you have to rely on keyword criteria, which do not take soft skills — nor other more granular tech specialties — into account.

Bottom line: if you don't know how to hire for tech, you're at risk of making expensive and time-consuming mistakes.

Our talent pool is small — and that's by design. We select only 3 of 100 freelancers who apply. 

With Talentcrowd, you know you’re getting the best talent, really fast, at the most competitive rates. 

Is there a minimum engagement?

Nope. 

If you are a good fit, we welcome you to try out our staffing services even for a small gig. We aim to become your trusted, reliable talent source for long-term partners.
