The challenge.

TaskRabbit had to quickly expand its lean engineering team, but wanted to be more efficient than its venture-backed Silicon Valley competitors. High fees and markups made hiring prohibitively expensive locally, and TaskRabbit had little experience contracting internationally.

 

The obstacles.

TaskRabbit had to quickly expand its lean engineering team, but wanted to be more efficient than its venture-backed Silicon Valley competitors. High fees and markups made hiring prohibitively expensive locally, and TaskRabbit had little experience contracting internationally.

 

1: A heated market for specialized engineers.

TaskRabbit needed skilled talent with Ruby on Rails experience, but hiring rates were exploding.

 

2: Slow and costly talent acquisition methods.

Search firms were ramping up their rake, charging 25% placement fees on salaries that were already high.


3: Global goals, but few distributed workers.

Almost all of the company's engineering team was based in its Bay Area office, limiting the company's talent pool and reach.

 

The outcome.

Braintrust matched 10 highly-skilled engineers in record time, helping TaskRabbit scale affordably to hundreds more cities and four more countries since partnering with Braintrust.
