Project Summary

A wine distribution software company engaged FOONKIE MONKEY for staff augmentation to source full-stack Ruby on Rails engineers who could work across the stack and handle ambiguous, fast-changing requirements. FOONKIE MONKEY provided multiple candidates, coordinated take-home tests and interviews, and supplied developers who integrated remotely via Slack and helped the client continue delivering features on a fast-paced schedule at a cost-effective price.

Key Challenges

Project Solution

FOONKIE MONKEY sourced and presented multiple full-stack Ruby on Rails candidates, coordinated take-home tests, and supported interviews.

One of the presented candidates (the 3rd or 4th interviewed) was hired.

Project Outcome

The client continued to deliver customer requirements and features on a fast-paced schedule with vendor support
Remote developers became integral members of the team and communicated effectively via Slack
The vendor provided high-level developers at a cost-effective price and sourced offshore talent the client could not find internally
