Scaling Plivo's Tech Team. Flexibly.

PHLO was Plivo's moonshot - a groundbreaking microservices platform to streamline business communications. But their skilled team was stretched thin, making it an uphill battle to build SDKs across technologies like Python, Node.js, and Go. Assembling the right team to support PHLO's growth was becoming a bigger hurdle than developing the ingenious platform. And then we met Plivo.

the challenge

Tech Talent Crunch Hits Communication Star(tup)

Plivo's remarkable journey from a YCombinator alumni to an enterprise communications giant with over 70K customers was driven by constant innovation. The company's next big bet was PHLO. The ambitious roadmap spanned across technologies like Node.js, Go, Rails and more, but faced an acute talent crunch.

They desperately sought developers who could rapidly integrate with existing codebases, enhance performance, roll out new functionalities, and establish robust CI/CD pipelines. Conventional recruitment methods proved sluggish, while freelance developers and staffing firms failed to meet PHLO's exacting quality standards and technical proficiency requirements.

Dream Team, Delivered Remotely

We understood the limitations traditional hiring posed to Plivo's aggressive PHLO product timelines. That's why we took an end-to-end approach - handling everything from discovery of talent to remote onboarding. This allowed Plivo to stay laser-focused on PHLO without worrying about scaling their technical workforce.
  1. Scaling Fast, Flexibly

    Plivo could quickly ramp up their team strength by tapping into our pool of pre-vetted developers without long-term commitments, providing essential scalability.

  2. Remote Enablement

    We ensured a smooth remote setup by defining clear communication protocols and ramp-up processes, enabling the distributed team to start delivering value quickly.

  3. Going a Mile Further

    With dedicated support over the 6-month project, we co-ordinated smooth collaboration between Plivo's team and the remote engineers to maintain consistent progress.

Flexiple helped us hire quality developers across technologies - Node, Rails, PHP, Python, iOS, Android - in a super efficient manner.

Executing the Ambitious Roadmap

Our support enabled Plivo to overcome what could have been a major roadblock in their ambitious PHLO roadmap - the lack of readily available, top-tier talent across critical technologies. The elegant pipeline of top developers handpicked for their expertise allowed Plivo to hit the ground running, setting a new trajectory for PHLO's development lifecycle.

Plivo could leapfrog conventions by accessing an on-demand pool of pre-vetted engineers who could be productive from day one.

They spent a good amount of time understanding our requirements, resulting in accurate recommendations and quick ramp-up by developers. We also found them to be much more affordable than other alternatives for a higher level of quality
