US companies can, with Turing, hire remote developers, while talented engineers can gain long-term, full-time roles with firms.
Design Pickle is well suited for a small company that does not have an in house creative design team or employees that have design experience. It is an affordable solution to have a designer in your pocket for creative content as needed. It is also great for companies that may have a design team but they are overwhelmed with work and need support due to lack of resources.
Scenarios where I found them appropriate: 1. Short turnaround time for hiring in the engineering team, to free up their bandwidth for more critical tasks 2. Having a diverse set of developers onboard (higher variety of tech stacks) 3. Experienced developers skilled in their tech stacks 4. Flexibility of hiring developers for project based engagements Scenarios where they are not well suited: 1. Unfavorable for addressing issues in person, since collaborations happen virtually only
Design Pickle gave us a dedicated designer who took your requests and was able to really learn and understand our brand the way a Fiverr contractor was not always able to do. Design Pickle was more bang for our buck if we had a lot of projects to use them on, otherwise the monthly stipend amount was wasted. Canva gives a ton of flexibility to make the design exactly how I want it, but is a do it yourself program
Honestly, As I stated, Turing was a total waste of my and my company's time. We cannot employ outside of the US or Canada, even though an agency like this. If they were upfront about what they truly are, and overseas employment agency, I would have never signed up for it.
