The talent war for developers and engineers has been raging for many years and is set to be worth over $1.3 trillion next year, but little has been done to resolve this business and talent challenge. In addressing this pressing concern Supersourcing, the world’s biggest talent marketplace for hiring remote engineers, has today raised $500,000 in a seed funding round to help early-stage startups and enterprises to employ the best remote engineering talent.
Founded in February 2021 by Aditi Chaurasaia and Mayank Pratap, SuperSourcing is helping companies to discover engineering talent and to help retain it. They found the biggest challenges that prevent companies from hiring remote engineers centre on: credibility and quality of the the engineer is difficult to know and the cultural fit with company values.
Supersourcing uses a community approach, connecting the benchpool of global talent provider companies with customers looking for engineers. To do this, it hosts a variety of SaaS tools for hiring, vetting, managing productivity and billing. Supersourcing also organises training and learning sessions for talent providers to grow their business and improve their quality of delivery.
With over a decade of experience in IT, Mayank and Aditi started to develop the processes and technology to solve the problems. Having tested and piloted them with leading IT recruitment agencies, they focused on credibility of candidates and the pool of candidates to put forward for briefs. They created an AI-enabled platform for robust screening processes and Supersourcing was born.
"If you ask any CIO or startup founder about their biggest challenge in building a successful startup, the answer will be hiring. The demand for remote talent surged during the pandemic. Every founder I talked to faced problems finding and managing the qualified remote engineers. This was the ultimate talent war and I have set out to solve this” said Mayank Pratap, the Co-Founder and CEO of Supersourcing.
“Today, remote hiring of top remote engineers is just a few clicks away. All you have to do is post your requirement and our AI will connect you to the best-suited talent. Recruiters can engage them directly and start hiring in minutes. Supersourcing does all the heavy lifting doing the rigorous quality checks, indexing the agencies and candidate skills on the databases before recommendations are made for relevant projects that recruiters need resourcing for".
Supersourcing is growing revenues 20% month on month and has $3M ARR. They have a talent pool of over 15,000 engineers and more than 3,000 talent partner companies to solve the global IT talent outsourcing problem. Supersourcing has helped 28 Unicorns, 32 YC-funded companies, 70+ Global VC fund portfolio companies, and over 500 customers to hire the best remote tech talent. These companies include: Uber, Gusto, Quora, Zoom, NextDoor, Instacart, Asana, Meta, Brex, Amazon, Google, Stripe, Dunzo, Swiggy, Khatabook, Stage, Appointy, Sequoia Capital among others.
Supersourcing will use the funds to expand and scale operations to ultimately capture their market share and build a strong brand presence. "Every new round of funding is proof that we are heading in the right direction. The entire team at Supersourcing is super excited to gain mentorship from brilliant investors across the board. But, the problem we are solving is huge and there is a long way to go." said Aditi Chaurasia, the Co-Founder and COO of Supersoucing.
