One thing I've definitely learned that no matter how well the person performs on the interviews,

on the screening tests, it's really only when you're actually doing some actual work with this person,

you can only see how he or she will perform.

And that's why in every team that we built in our,

in a squad, it's very important is when you see that the person is capable in terms of

their hard skills and you think they are okay in terms of their soft skills based on

an interview, we ask them to start actually doing something.

My name is Alex Swinov, and I am the CEO and co-founder of Finn Squad.

This is Code Story, the podcast bringing you interviews with tech visionaries,

who share in the critical moments of what it takes to change in industry and build and lead a team that has your back.

I'm your host, Noah Laphart,

and today how Alex Vinoff is paving the way for you to scale your team

four times faster with remote all this and more on coat

story Alex Svinoff has very few things to talk about outside of the business world or so he says

he likes to jog play tennis and has a family with three kids at home.

He likes to travel with his family and try new things, which he admits is complicated with the kids.

Personally, he's driven each day to create something new. When it comes to food, his favorite

is curry chicken, which according to him, he could eat every day. For the last several years, Alex has had a huge problem finding qualified developers for his startup.

Alongside of this, resources were thin in the early days, and he was losing recruiting bids to larger companies.

He thought hiring developers shouldn't be this hard.

Maybe he should look somewhere different.

This is the creation story of InSquod.
