S7 Bonus: The Algorithmic Recruiter: Automating Global Tech Vetting and Remote Scaling with Alex Svinov, Co-Founder & CEO of Insquad
Dec 8, 2022 · Season 7 · 27 min
Top notch, vetted remote developers
Alex Svinov has very few things to talk about outside of the business world. He likes to jog, play tennis, and has a family with three kids at home. He likes to travel with his family and try new things, which he admits is complicated with the kids. Personally, he is driven each day to create something new. When it comes to food, his favorite is curry chicken, which according to him, he could eat every day.
For the last several years, Alex had a huge problem finding qualified developers for his startup. Alongside of this, resources were thin in the early days, and he was losing recruiting bids to larger companies. He thought - hiring developers shouldn't be this hard... maybe he should look somewhere different.
This is the creation story of Insquad.
