Client case study · 2026
Two years and $60k with agencies. Nothing shipped. Then one engineer.
Tyrie, Founder of MyServiceApp LLC, had hired multiple agencies to build his service-business app. Thirty days after his first conversation with Hireboard, an engineer was working inside his team. A year later the product is on its fourth release and the engagement is still running.

The engagement, in four parts
Before
Multiple agencies, roughly two years, more than $60,000. The product was never deployed.
Programming from hired firms was sub par with high prices. No milestones were being met and my confidence in their ability to bring the project to MVP status was near zero.
The engagement
One engineer to take the MVP to launch, working in Tyrie’s Slack and on his calls. He describes the match as “specifically matched” to his problem, not a generic senior hire.
He is always available so time zones are not an issue.
What changed
The MVP shipped, then went on to a stable product with additional scope. Fourth release live, 99% uptime, engagement still running a year in.
No surprises, that is a great thing.
Against a local senior hire
Asked what an equivalent local hire would have looked like, and whether he would have made it at all:
Cost would be considerably more, no less than 40% more, and it would have taken much more time. I would not have made the hire.
“This is a no brainer. Hireboard is best in class.”
