Sotrue's founders needed a founding engineering team to build out their product roadmap. Solo recruiting had produced declined offers and slow progress. The team was losing momentum on the product side while attention stayed on hiring.
Co-designed role profiles with the founders in week 1, focused on shipping ownership over CV polish.
Sourced from our vetted network and screened 60+ candidates with async paired tasks.
Pair-interviews with the founding team — crew of 3 confirmed by end of week 2.
Custom ramp-up on Sotrue's stack and product context. Crew was shipping internal PRs by week 3.
Migrated all three to direct employment on day 26 with full IP assignment.
The crew has shipped the MVP and continues to own their respective domains. The founders recovered the time previously spent on hiring and re-focused on product and customers. Zero attrition at the 6-month mark.
Call My Crew built our founding engineering team in under a month. By week three they were shipping. By month two we'd forgotten they came from outside.
