Our business model is designed to attract the top talent from the United States, and beyond, by offering meaningful work that is merit-based in pay. We cultivate the best talent for each project, from the Metrosion Talent Network, and do not assign work just so freelancers will have a project to keep them busy. We make sure our talent is properly trained through onboarding for each individual project. We also monitor each team to make sure they are successful using data such as scored assessments and peer feedback reviews.

How is working with Metrosion better than directly hiring freelancers?We offer the best of both worlds! You get the benefits of a fully managed systems integrator while combining that with the speed and system agility you expect from Silicon Valley. We focus on implementing user feedback to avoid products that are “built to spec” but end up not succeeding during the market launch. In addition, we work on a fixed price, fixed scope basis which means talent incentives are based on completing assignments efficiently and correctly instead of taking their time to bill additional hours. Plus, using the Metrosion Talent Network frees you from the continuing overhead that is required to procure and manage freelance talent on a regular basis.

Can software be developed iteratively with a fixed proiect model?Since our client engagement model is designed to cover the complete life cycle of a digital initiative, we start with an extensive planning stage where the product roadmap and software solution are created to match your business objectives. Together we will define the project milestones and project price for all major releases. We examine user testing between each major release to validate the usability of the product and determine which features need to be adjusted before the next major release. This allows us to properly budget for the next release while also giving us the flexibility to make sure the final product meets the needs of consumers.
