Challenge
As Expian continued its rapid ascent in the tech industry, transitioning from Seed to Series A funding, they faced significant challenges in scaling their operations effectively. Their primary hurdle involved customizing their innovative product to meet the diverse needs of various client types — a task that demanded a more robust and versatile team.
Solution
Alteam responded with a tailored approach to team augmentation, leveraging our elastic team model and startup-centric processes. Our strategy was centered around enhancing Expian’s capacity for customisation and scalability without compromising their agility or innovation.
Delivery process
- Networking and Talent Acquisition: We tapped into our extensive network of remote freelancers, skilled in diverse technological domains, to find candidates who were not only fit for the task but also a cultural match for Expian.
- Rigorous Selection Process: Candidates underwent a two-step interview process, ensuring alignment with Expian’s specific requirements. The initial interviews were conducted by Alteam to assess technical skills and compatibility, followed by client-led interviews to finalise selections.
- Integration and Mentorship: Once selected, contractors were integrated into Expian’s operations through a structured pre-onboarding process. Each member of the augmented team was assigned a senior mentor from YJC, ensuring they were well-prepared and supported to contribute effectively from day one.
- Synchronisation with Client Systems: To streamline workflow and maintain consistency, we connected our team with Expian’s internal timesheet and invoice systems, ensuring seamless operation and easy tracking of deliverables and hours.
