TrueNode's edge in a highly competitive space
About the company
TrueNode is a Berlin based venture-driven product studio that offers a full-service product development package including everything from idea validation to MVP launch to supporting businesses in scaling.
The company empowers Mittelstand and Enterprises that want impactful product innovation and Startups that want to supercharge their product development.
Challenge
When TrueNode started working with UPPER, they were facing three challenges, all centered around talent access and management.
The first challenge was about how to quickly ramp up teams for new projects.
Secondly, how to reduce talent bench time when capacity was higher than demand.
And third, how to ensure high quality talent for their clients, across all stacks and roles.
Solution
To solve TrueNode's multi sided challenge, UPPER was to provide an on-demand "talent workbench" solution.
This would allow them to access pre-vetted talent in a matter of days, with high flexibility of engagement (full time, hourly etc), across a wide range of tech stacks.
Via this setup, more than 40 people were hired across multiple projects, and counting.
"UPPER was instrumental in helping us to add missing tech manpower and skills to our client's projects."
