Second Talent helps US startups hire vetted AI-Native Engineers and Specialists from Asia. The results: $200K saved on two engineering hires, a team in place before a $27M Series A, and more.
Anketa is an Atlanta-based social polling platform that records poll results on the blockchain so anyone can verify them. Weeks after launching its app on web, iOS and Android, it needed two senior builders: a full-stack web engineer and a backend engineer for its ASP.NET Core platform. Second Talent filled both roles with an average time to hire of 24 days and saved Anketa $200,000 in hiring costs.
