Case Studies
The Background
Frank Dal Bello, Owner and CEO of Haystack Pro, described the specific problem that led them to seek assistance, stating, "With limited budget, US-based software development talent is very expensive." He explained that they had attempted to address this challenge by exploring options such as freelance contractors and offshore resources but hadn't found a suitable fit.
Solution
Frank discussed why they decided to engage with Zipdev, mentioning, "Competitive pricing, [easier] than entering the [LatAm] market by ourselves and the HR headaches; not having to invest a ton of time on that as well as learning about local holidays, compliance." He also highlighted the value they saw in Zipdev's environment, saying, "There's something about the Zipdev environment that our member Luis values, so we do too." Their choice was influenced by Zipdev handling many aspects they didn't want to invest extensive time in.
The outcomes
Regarding the outcomes of working with Zipdev, Frank emphasized the consistency and talent provided, stating, "My experience with Luis, he has been working with us for a while now, I think consistency is one of the big factors: consistent attention to our projects by a talented person and that has helped us in building our culture." The options Haystack considered before Zipdev included outsourcing development, contract workers, and going directly to the Latin American market. Ultimately, they chose Zipdev, citing the convenience of working with a US-based company that has recruiting teams in the region, and a deep understanding of both cultures. Zipdev also successfully addressed their pain points related to recruiting, vetting, and candidate replacement, and quality.
