Brian Samson, one of the Co-founders of Nearshore Systems, a software development and recruitment services company founded in San Francisco joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Brian Samson discuss the following:
- It’s really unusual to see a company with 3 different service lines like yours. Can you talk us through what led you there and some of the types of projects you work on?
- It’s not common to have someone with a recruiting background leading an engineering services company. Can you talk a little bit about the transition? What made it difficult and what was easy about it?
- Nearly 80% of your team is in Argentina, can you talk about what led you there?
- Since you have such a strong belief in recruiting, can you tell us a little more about how you’ve hired the team at Nearshore?
- For entrepreneurs listening in today, what advice do you have for them if they were to look at nearshoring? Either setting up their own office or working with a nearshore service provider?
Nearshore Systems is a services company, with 3 core services to help technology companies grow. The services are: engineering, recruiting, and SEO.
