Your host, Sheila Kloefkorn, talks with the Founder and CEO of Outforce, Sean Languedoc. Sean is no stranger to the tech scene, with his current venture being his fifth tech company. His story is fascinating, beginning with a mission to solve immigration challenges for technical workers in the United States. By leveraging Canada's favorable immigration policies for tech professionals, Sean initially aimed to bridge the gap for these workers. However, the unexpected arrival of COVID-19 brought a significant shift in the market, leading him to pivot towards creating a recruiting agency for international tech talent.
One of the critical issues Sean discussed was the difficulty in finding the right engineering capacity. Companies often require outsourcing due to various reasons, such as specific client projects, trade shows, or the influx of venture capital funding. The challenge, however, lies in selecting the right outsourcing agency from a sea of options. The risks of making the wrong choice are high, and Sean's personal experiences with these challenges were the catalyst for his current company, which serves as a broker between companies and outsourcing agencies. His firm aims to streamline the process and mitigate the risks associated with outsourcing.
