YouTeam 2.0 - Assemble an offshore development team in a few simple steps

It’s been 2 years since our first launch on Product Hunt. Since then, we’ve been working hard on developing and improving our product - YouTeam, a platform for building remote development teams. Despite a growing number of software development agencies and freelance platforms offering their services, finding a development team which matches one’s requirements still remains an extremely stressful, time-consuming and risky endeavour. That’s why our goal was to build a solution allowing startups to save months of time and many thousand dollars of their runway through bypassing the entire recruitment curve. Dozens of sprints, meetings and discussions, and here we are - delighted to introduce you to YouTeam 2.0, Offshore Dev Team Builder. So how does it work? First, you complete a short wizard describing your project: its type, technologies needed, monthly budget you plan on, and the roles your team requires. Here you also get an option to choose the preferred setup: you can hire a team co-located at one of our certified development offices and managed by an experienced PM OR you can select individual developers and combine them into a team. Having defined your requirements, you get access to the Team Builder, where you can browse through the exclusive talent pool of software developers, review them and highlight the best matches by adding them to your Candidates Room. Here is what makes YouTeam 2.0 different: 1. All developers are thoroughly vetted through HackerRank; 2. The team will be co-located at one of our certified development offices, with a dedicated PM who will make sure all trains come on time; 3. Most importantly: WE HACKED THE RECRUITING PIPELINE - so all our engineers are available to start from Monday; 4. And finally, we offer a 2-week satisfaction guarantee for the entire length of the cooperation. IOW: you're not happy with the devs performance - you get your money back, no questions asked. Let me know what you think by joining the discussion below.

Great idea with HackerRank and Team Builder. You can find developers that you need with different options. My greetings @yurij_riphyak and YouTeam 2.0 !

Could you tell more about what your vetting process looks like?

Love YouTeam's UX! It's now even easier and faster to pick the right devs for your team.

YouTeam reminds me of the concept of building an Alliance between a company and employees by Reid Hoffman. In short, companies don't "own" employees anymore, they are building cooperation based on shared goals and values. While freedom, remote work, and the will to try yourself in many different projects rises, YouTeam has all chances to lead this wave.

I’ve tried this tool myself and have to admit that it’s really great to have access to a database of developers who meet the criteria you indicated in the questionnaire. You can check all available info like previous projects, years of experience and rates just by browsing through a list of developers. Pros: easy to use, vetted talent. Cons: limited choice of some roles, e.g. UX/UI designers.

Hey, we went through dozens of interviews 🗣, more than 10 iterations of experiments 🧪 and had a crazy development time 👩‍💻 in order to get where we are right now. Also, we have built a special experiment process for weekly iterations and failed 9 times :) 💬 Leave your comment there if you want to learn more about it. P.S. Sorry, Marketing Team I won't post your sales pitch there :D

Very cool! Congrats with launch of new version of the product

Hi Yuriji - why not optimize the MVP outsourcing niche with a leasing pricing model. Leasing pricing could vary by features etc. most projects fail not because of technology but because of market fit. The idea is that thr total revenue to you would be more than the traditional revenue of a price per job contract by thinking in terms of Marginal revenue and marginal cost.
