What I like best about Truss is the quality of the people they’ve brought into our organization and how quickly they became productive contributors to our business. We’re an early-stage startup building a complex software platform, so having team members who are motivated, adaptable, and able to learn quickly is critical. The Product Owner Truss placed with us has exceeded expectations in every area. One of the biggest benefits has been workflow efficiency and overall development performance. The Product Owner quickly learned our business domain and now works directly with our engineers to clarify requirements, answer logic questions, and keep initiatives progressing without bottlenecks. That has allowed me, as Chief Product Officer, to stay focused on strategy, customer relationships, and growing the business rather than getting pulled into constant day-to-day coordination. From a collaboration and UX standpoint, the communication process with Truss has been extremely smooth. Their team integrates seamlessly with our existing workflows, tools, and development processes. The onboarding process was also much faster than I expected. We were able to get meaningful output from the team almost immediately, which is rare when working in a highly specialized industry like ours. Another major advantage has been the time zone alignment strategy. Their team is already progressing work before our U.S.-based team starts the day, which creates a near-continuous development cycle. Many mornings we come in with items already prepared for testing or review, which has significantly improved velocity and shortened feedback loops. From a pricing and ROI perspective, the value has been outstanding. For a startup, every hire and every dollar matters. We were initially cautious about adding the role, but the productivity gains, organization, and reduction in operational stress have more than justified the investment. I’ve also been impressed with how quickly the team adapts to new technologies, evolving priorities, and AI-assisted development workflows. In a fast-moving startup environment, flexibility and intelligence matter just as much as technical skill, and Truss has consistently delivered on both.

After trying other hiring services, switching to Truss for our hiring needs was a breath of fresh air. What stood out immediately was how human the entire process felt. It's clear that Truss genuinely cares about both their clients and the candidates they place, not just closing a deal. The candidate quality was noticeably higher than what we experienced with Terminal. Truss takes the time to actually know their people, and it shows. While Terminal seemed to treat candidates as inventory, Truss treats them as individuals, and that makes a real difference in the quality of matches. Beyond the hire itself, the Truss team has been remarkably accessible and supportive before, during, and after the process. Terminal was always eager to sell us more. Truss seems more focused on making sure things actually work out, and that ongoing partnership has been invaluable.

What I like best about Truss is how it simplifies the entire process of hiring and managing remote engineers. The candidates are pre-vetted, which saves a huge amount of time, and the platform handles payroll, compliance, and onboarding. It allows us to focus on building our product instead of dealing with hiring logistics.
