The music industry is no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 4 years ago, Giulio and Michael, the founders of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/equipboard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Equipboard<\/a>, noticed a gap in the musical instrument industry. Plenty of fans and aspiring musicians want to know how their musical heroes achieve their sound, but until now there has been no place to associate renowned artists with the gear they use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipboard has been working to change this. Requiring photo evidence or statements from musicians themselves, the site crowdsources an extensive library of artists of every genre and the instruments they use. You can find the guitars Paul McCartney uses, Travis Barker\u2019s drum kit, or Daft Punk\u2019s mixing console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Looking for top talent fast?

However, Giulio and Michael soon found their limited funding was not enough to support the growing technical requirements of the platform. \u201cYou can\u2019t mismanage one million people,\u201d says Giulio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to upgrade infrastructure and keep the site up to speed for the growing user base, Equipboard needed to find a leaner way to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"finding-a-reliable-freelance-partner\">Finding a Reliable Freelance Partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Giulio has a technical background, playing the role of both developer and co-founder began to take a toll, especially as the company continued to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt made a lot of sense to seek out remote help of someone more cost-effective on the dev front.\u201d However, as Giulio put it, \u201cwe were having some trouble finding good people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pair considered <a href=\"https:\/\/arc.dev\/employer-blog\/gigster-vs-toptal-arc\/\">using freelance sites<\/a> but had concerns about finding a reliable long-term partner on platforms that mainly specialize in creating high-volume candidate pools. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/arc.dev\/employer-blog\/upwork-alternatives\/\">Sites like Upwork<\/a> can be great if you just need someone to write a simple script, say to scrape a website,\u201d Says Giulio, \u201cbut to find a really reliable, longer-term person that you can build a relationship with is much tougher.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s when one of their investors introduced Equipboard to Arc (formerly CodementorX).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-johannes-bg-alt-1-background-color has-background\"><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/arc.dev\/employer-blog\/freelance-vs-in-house-developers\/\">Freelance vs In-House Developers: Pros &amp; Cons of Hiring or Contracting<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"connecting-with-a-vetted-developer\">Connecting With a Vetted Developer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Giulio,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arc.dev\/employer-blog\/how-to-find-developers\/\">finding a developer<\/a>\u00a0with the right skill set to fit their budget on Arc was a simple process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur engagement manager helped onboard us \u2014 we gave our requirements, our tech stack, and our challenges, and he came up with the candidates. He even assisted from a cultural perspective, suggesting which candidates might be a better fit for a startup vs. an enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After interviewing several candidates, Equipboard settled on\u00a0Mehmet, a full-stack engineer based in Turkey. Giulio was impressed with the shortlist and the vetting process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s rare to find developers who are as skilled on the front-end as they are on the back-end.
