Supersourcing is solving the biggest problem that evolved during the Pandemic:

Many startups struggled with talent crunch during the Pandemic over the last couple of years. Working remotely became a reality but finding qualified remote tech talent became the biggest challenge. Being a part of the IT industry for the last 10 years, Mayank, the co-founder of Supersourcing, witnessed the problem as well.

"If you ask any CIO or startup founders about their biggest challenge in building a successful startup, the answer will be "Hiring." The demand for remote talent surged during the pandemic. Every founder I talked to faced problems finding and managing the qualified remote engineers. To me, it seems like a talent war, so I decided to solve this problem." said Mayank Pratap, the Co-Founder and CEO of Supersourcing.

With 10+ years of IT experience, Mayank and Aditi started to develop the processes and technology to solve the problem. To test their idea on pilot, they developed a tech platform by partnering with high-rated IT agencies once they got through screening tests and quality parameters. Based on the project's requirements raised by different clients, the platform matches remote talent to fulfill the request.

The quick hiring process and quality remote engineers enabled the successful delivery of all projects. As a result, the demand for remote IT talent exploded, and Supersourcing was born. The biggest problems for the remote hiring and outsourcing industries are credibility and opportunities to find the right talent. Supersourcing targets these issues through an AI-enabled platform and a robust screening process.

"After going through rigorous quality checks, agencies and their skills are indexed in our database, which will start appearing as recommendations for a relevant project," said Mayank.

Today, remote hiring of top remote engineers is just a few clicks away. It has become a piece of cake for startups and enterprises. All you have to do is post your requirement and the AI will connect you to the best-suited talent. You can then chat with them, and boom, you have your new hire in a matter of minutes.
