Rental management platform for landlords

The company, an established company in PropTech headquartered in Spain, needed to solve this challenge: “rental management platform for landlords”. The market for senior talent with demonstrable experience in that technology stack is scarce, and they had already tried to fill the position without success, with the resulting added expense and lost opportunity. All of this was happening under time pressure, with a market deadline that left no room for error.

Squad Challenge designed 5 challenges, one per position, to evaluate professionals already linked to the client, drawn from its own internal team and outsourcing firms it already worked with, analyzing an average of 5 candidates per position (25 evaluated in total) in 7 days.

In total, the squad brought together 5 profiles (ML engineer, frontend developer, backend developer, Tech Lead, Squad Lead), sourced from the client and its outsourcing firms, working on a stack of Node.js (NestJS), React + Next.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, GitHub, Azure. This squad integrated with the company's existing in-house technical team, respecting established processes and priorities. Since some of these profiles came from outsourcing firms, their turnover was high (around 50%), which led to evaluating 2 additional replacements over the course of the project, reaching a total commitment of 5 months.
