Hiring Developers Globally is Broken—Here’s How We’re Fixing It
When we started building Juucy, we had a vision: to create a global, decentralized recruiter marketplace that would make hiring easier, faster, and more transparent.
Like many startups, we initially took the traditional route—hiring a team of 15 outsourced developers in Ukraine to build our platform. On paper, it made sense. A big team meant more hands, faster development, and a solid foundation, right?
Wrong.
Despite having 15 talented engineers, development was slow, communication was a challenge, and feature rollouts were delayed. We found ourselves spending more time managing the team than actually building the product. And when you’re in the early stages of a startup, time is your most valuable asset.
Then we made a bold move—we switched to Bubble.io, a no-code platform, and reduced our dev team to just one engineer.
1 Developer, 10x More Impact
It wasn’t an easy decision. The idea of replacing a team of 15 skilled developers with one person using a no-code tool felt like a gamble. But we were driven by the need for speed and efficiency. Within weeks, we saw something remarkable happen:
Feature development skyrocketed – Our single Bubble developer was iterating on features at a pace we had never seen before. Things that took weeks before were now being built in days.
Communication was effortless – No more layers of project managers, tech leads, and back-and-forth Slack messages.
Flexibility became our superpower – Instead of being tied to rigid sprints, we adapted quickly to what our customers needed.
This shift changed how we saw hiring developers. It wasn’t about throwing more people at a problem—it was about finding the right people, with the right skills, at the right time.
Why This Matters for Hiring Developers Globally
Our experience reflects a bigger problem in hiring developers today:
Companies often hire too many developers too fast – Thinking that “more engineers = faster development” is a myth. What truly matters is hiring the right ones—those who understand your vision and can build efficiently.
Job boards don’t cut it anymore – The best developers aren’t actively applying for jobs. They’re already working on cool projects, and traditional hiring methods don’t reach them.
Global hiring is hard – Companies want top talent, but hiring across borders means dealing with legal, compliance, and payment nightmares.
That’s why we built Juucy—to create a better way to hire developers, globally.
How Juucy is Changing the Game
Juucy isn’t a job board. It’s a decentralized recruiter network that connects companies with specialized tech recruiters who know exactly where to find the best developers—whether they’re in Munich, Kyiv, São Paulo, or Bangalore.
Here’s what makes us different:
We don’t flood companies with resumes. Instead, recruiters find and vet interview-ready candidates who actually fit the role.
We move fast. Our decentralized recruiter model means companies can find the right devs within days, not months.
We break down hiring barriers. Companies get access to global talent without dealing with legal and compliance headaches.
A Future Where Hiring Developers is Frictionless
We learned the hard way that hiring in tech is broken. But it doesn’t have to be. With Juucy, we’re building a world where companies can find top-tier developers anywhere in the world—without the delays, noise, and inefficiencies of traditional hiring.
Whether you're scaling a startup or looking for that one dev who can outperform a whole team, we’re here to make hiring easier. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about how many developers you have—it’s about hiring the right ones.
