Rental management platform for landlords

The company, an established company inPropTech headquartered in Spain, needed to solve this challenge: “rentalmanagement platform for landlords”. The market for senior talent withdemonstrable experience in that technology stack is scarce, and they hadalready tried to fill the position without success, with the resulting addedexpense 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, drawnfrom its own internal team and outsourcing firms it already worked with,analyzing an average of 5 candidates per position (25 evaluated in total) in 7days.

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