Building Coding Classrooms for Kids

Peblio brought coding to 10 NYC classrooms through interactive lessons. Soon, they faced a typical startup challenge: scaling those 10 classrooms to 1000, on a bootstrapped budget.

the challenge

Coding for Classrooms

Three NYU grads launched Peblio, an educational software for teaching kids computer science. Early success with their beta program in 10 NYC classrooms within a year fueled their need for new features. But like most startups, scaling amidst limited resources became their challenge.

However, juggling full-time jobs left them with minimal time for thorough recruitment. While one founder had technical knowledge, limited funds ruled out hiring expensive full-time developers. Additionally, their attempts with traditional agencies proved ineffective, yielding few and poorly qualified candidates. Despite significant time and budget investments, Peblio's search for the ideal developer remained unsuccessful for several months.

Going Beyound Resumes

Peblio needed a strategic tech hiring partner, not just a talent vendor. We helped them first identify the ideal talent profile they needed by leveraging our in-house tech hiring expertise to understand the role requirements beyond just the job description.

  1. Identification of Needs

    We gave Peblio a well-defined "talent persona” to aim for - a north star that captured the exact skills, experience, and mindset they required, making the search process more targeted.

  2. Accurate REcommendations

    Leveraging our extensive network of thoroughly vetted tech professionals seeking exciting projects, not just freelance gigs, we provided Peblio with 4 solid candidate recommendations within just 3 days.

  3. Accelereated Hiring Timeline

    While tech hiring normally takes 3-5 months, Flexiple's end-to-end support allowed Peblio to go from identifying needs to conducting interviews to onboarding the selected talent in under 2 weeks - a remarkably compressed timeline.

I must say she (Komal) is the prime reason the show is going on...What really stands out for Komal is her ability to communicate proactively and constantly which is a must in a remote setting.
