Expert network
We believe in the value of outside perspectives, especially during the hiring process. That's why we’ve developed a network of 23 industry experts in Design, UX, Web Development, and Digital Marketing to conduct independent assessments of our talent. During these assessments, experts review talent portfolios and ask questions to better understand their technical skills and experience. The experts then follow up on these discussions by creating interview summaries that are submitted to clients.
