Backing-up Seniors@Work Tech Team with Lengin Developers

I found Lengin via UpWork. 

I wanted to find reliable developers who are more or less in the same time zone and have more or less the same mentality. 

Here, it is too expensive, and with a standard agency in Switzerland, you have a contract where you have to take the developer for at least six months full-time, etc. However, it’s very important for an early-stage start-up to have the flexibility, for example, to reduce the workload for the next few weeks.

In the past, I also worked with Indian and Pakistani agencies, and it was difficult because we were not online at the same time, as well as in terms of mentality. And in the end, it’s not good enough if it’s only cheap, but it should also be of some quality.

Also for me, it’s clear that I don’t want to work with freelancers anymore. I realized that once you want to grow as a start-up and need more IT resources, it’s very difficult with freelancers because you need to find a new one.

The best value is that Lengin can offer more IT resources in the future and flexibility in the workload. But also important for me is that I know if the developer has a question or doesn’t know how to fix a problem, he has a team of other experienced developers with whom he can exchange experiences.

I’m very happy. I got exactly what I expected – the flexibility and not only one developer but, in the end, a team of different individuals. That’s the best case for me.

For me, obviously one point is the cost. Let’s be honest. It’s very important for me to have flexibility in this term and not have fixed costs for the next six months, for example. 

You never know. Perhaps next month you’ll be bankrupt, and then you won’t want to have the responsibility to pay for another five months for something you don’t use anymore.

It’s important to have trust and a good relationship with the developer and the agency. I spoke to many different agencies. I didn’t want to go to a big one where you are just a number. So, at your agency, I feel it’s more personal. I can always talk to you, which gives me a lot of trust.

Also, Seniors@Work is like our heart, and I need to trust that my partner is not doing something harmful to the platform.

Definitely! I would recommend your agency because the value I get is huge. 

As I mentioned before, flexibility. I can regulate the workload from one week to the other, which is an amazing ability to reduce costs. 

Also, I have the opportunity to discuss new projects. And there is really a team of different experts. All in all, it’s exactly what I’m looking for.
