Leagues, teams, athletes, musicians, influencers, artists, etc. can better connect with their true fans.

Goal
CEO, Mike Sorgenfrei, was driving Encore to develop the app for a Q4 launch.
Problem
They were missing two crucial competences - full-stack React Native & Node and Gremlin. Without these two specialists, Encore Fans would miss the launch date. It was impossible to hire locally and they didn’t have time for a global search and selection process.
Why they chose Skipp
Mike heard about the quality of our developers from other blockchain companies. He set up a call to brief one of our Talent Acquisition Specialists. With a thorough understanding of their requirements, Encore received the right candidate profiles within 24 hours and were able to hire almost immediately.

Skipp has done great work for us. The team continues to knock out work. They complete tickets quickly, and follow processes well. They fit right in and were able to pick up the work right away. We are happy with progress thus far, and expect good things going forward. Work with Skipp has been progressing nicely!
