Case Study: TaskRabbit scales engineering hiring faster and more affordably with Braintrust

How TaskRabbit rapidly scaled its lean engineering team into a global tasking machine

TaskRabbit partnered with Braintrust to scale its lean engineering team as demand grew across a global marketplace serving millions of annual jobs in thousands of cities and eight countries. TaskRabbit needed specialized Ruby on Rails and other engineering talent quickly, but local hiring in San Francisco was expensive and highly competitive, and the team had limited experience with international contracting.

Braintrust helped TaskRabbit source and hire 10 highly skilled engineers from around the world in record time, including talent in Greece, Poland, and Latvia. The result was a dramatic improvement in hiring efficiency: Braintrust filled roles in 14 days instead of 44, cut hiring time to one-third, helped TaskRabbit fill 30% of its engineering team, and reduced costs by about 30% by eliminating agency fees.
