Our own story draws many parallels with Geektrust itself. We are a bunch of believers, who, while building Geektrust, are discovering our own potential. When we started out, we left our (relatively) plum jobs to bootstrap Geektrust. Back then we said - “hire developers based on their real skills, and not based on their resume”. We still say the same thing today (we didn’t pivot, sorry). However, what has changed over the years is that more and more companies are listening to us and believing in us. From 5 small startups back when we started to 150+ companies today who trust in code as the way to hire good developers.
