Upstack Reviews

We've worked with Upstack on several long-term projects/products over the past couple of years. Projects have included mobile app development (React Native), web development (React, Ruby on Rails), and data engineering/analysis (PostgreSQL, Google BigQuery, Data Studio, Metabase, etc.).

No matter what the project is or what role we need to fill, Upstack has always been able to come through with quality talent from across the globe. Furthermore, their account management & support teams are engaged and helpful throughout the process, consistently going the extra mile to help us source the right people. Finally, their "try before you buy" approach to contractor placement means that we can accurately assess employees' fit on the job vs. relying on antiquated processes that can be frustrating for both the company and employees when things don't work out.

If you're looking for US-based, on-site candidates, Upstack may not be the platform for you. Fortunately for us, we've planned for globally distributed, remote teams since day one, which makes working with Upstack a breeze.

Rely on your CSM's experience - often, they have prior experience with the candidates you're interviewing and can provide additional insights into how they've worked with other teams.

Having only hired developers through Upwork and TopTal in the past, I knew that hiring vetted developers like with TopTal is well worth it. However, when TopTal didn't have the right developer for our most recent project, I started shopping around.

UpStack provided us with all the benefits of Toptal (speedy hiring process, quality pre-vetted talent) but with a much, much more personalized and enjoyable experience. I worked with Maggie first on the customer service end before dealing with George and the developers directly, and I can honestly say I won't even consider going back to TopTal.
