Frank Watervoort, CTO at Thrive, highlighted the specific problem that led them to consider Zipdev's services, stating, "US landscape to find good talent for reasonable salaries, we found that augmenting our team with people from Zipdev was a good way to go." He explained the challenges they faced in the US job market, where high developer salaries and low average tenure posed sustainability issues. He noted that headhunters were not a sustainable solution, as they asked for a percentage of the employee's salary. Their solution, hiring talent from Latin America, aimed to build a long-term career-oriented team.
