Why Our Employer Partners  Love Project Y

As a Venture Studio, we are constantly looking for a trusted partner to source job-ready junior talent from. Every Project Y member we’ve hired has demonstrated outstanding progress, and their ongoing support model ensures strong retention and faster employee development. Based on our experience, we now actively recommend Project Y to all our ventures.

Louis Buys
Founder | The Delta

Hiring from Project Y has been a game-changer for us. The two developers we brought on board after a 2-month free trial quickly proved their skills and motivation, and the combination of high-quality talent and competitive pricing made the decision to keep them an easy one. With Project Y handling payroll, office space, and equipment, the process was seamless, and we’re now looking to hire more members to expand our team.

Kamil Walkowiak
CTO | VP of R&D | co-founder | CUX

Thanks to Project Y, hiring our two Process Managers was seamless—no recruiting fees, plus they handle payroll, office space, and devices. Beyond great talent, we truly appreciate Project Y’s commitment to social impact and look forward to welcoming more Y-members to our team.

Christoph Jung
COO | Playbook

Project Y is a great choice for scale-ups seeking vetted talent. We had the pleasure of working with two Y-members who were highly motivated, smart, and exceeded in their soft skills. Project Y sustains a caring and supportive local environment for their members, including office space and devices. They also manage payroll and employment contracts. South Africa is an amazing market to source talent in our time zone with an excellent English level, and we will continue partnering with Project Y in various ways.
