Case Study: Baremetrics masters remote hiring and scales its distributed team with Recruitee

The art of hiring when your team is all over the place

Baremetrics is a SaaS analytics company for Stripe founded and led by Josh Pigford. Built and launched rapidly, the product became profitable within weeks and scaled to a full business with six fully remote employees, but presented a clear challenge: how to hire and maintain culture when the team is distributed across countries.

Josh’s solution combines a lean remote toolset (Slack, Trello, GitHub/Docs) with a focused hiring strategy: use niche remote and industry job boards, recruit people who already know the company through its blog, and prioritize candidates with prior remote experience and strong relationship fit. The approach produced a small, cohesive remote team, steady revenue growth, a $300k Stripe Fund investment, and plans to double headcount in the next 12–18 months.
