Stacks isn't just another tech startup. With Stacks, they're revolutionizing how we save and share online content. But to turn this vision into reality, Kyle needed more than just an idea - he needed a world-class development team.

Challenge

Kyle, the Founder of Stacks, faced significant talent acquisition hurdles. He struggled with an influx of unqualified applicants, time-consuming and unproductive interviews, and mounting code quality issues that threatened project timelines. Kyle found himself unable to build the team he needed to execute his vision for Stacks. He recounts, "I knew what Stacks could be, but I couldn't find the right people to help me build it. The recruitment process was becoming a major bottleneck."

Solution

Kyle turned to Gun.io to address his hiring challenges. Within a week, he was interviewing a candidate who would become his lead engineer.
