The Challenge: Balancing Cost, Quality, and Time in Hiring
With a lean team of two full-time employees and one part-time contractor, Bye needed to expand their engineering capabilities to build their AI-powered platform. As a pre-seed startup, budget constraints ruled out hiring engineers in the U.S., where salaries often exceed $10,000/month.
Datz also wanted to diversify the team beyond their Japanese network but faced challenges finding reliable talent in other regions while maintaining a remote structure.
"We wanted the best talent, but hiring engineers in the U.S. was simply too expensive. At the same time, going through hundreds of resumes manually wasn’t an option for our small team." – Datz Daito, CEO of Bye
The Journey: Exploring Alternatives
Before discovering Noxx, Datz and his team tried several solutions, including:
Remote.ok: A global job marketplace that provided access to talent but required significant manual effort to screen candidates.
Anonymous Talent Boards: Offered access to developers but lacked transparency and consistent quality.
LinkedIn Recruiter: Avoided due to the anticipated flood of applications and the time-intensive screening process.
In previous hiring efforts for another project, Datz found himself spending weeks acting as a “full-time recruiter,” which was unsustainable for his current startup.
The Discovery: A Trusted Recommendation
Datz was introduced to Noxx through its CEO - Kiyo Kobayashi, a trusted connection who recommended the platform for its efficiency in hiring best-value overseas engineers. Noxx’s AI-powered screening capabilities intrigued Datz, especially as a solution to reduce time and effort in the hiring process.
The Solution: Simplified Remote Hiring with Noxx
Noxx streamlined Bye’s hiring process, offering:
AI-Powered Screening: Automated candidate filtering, reducing manual effort.
Curated Talent: A shortlist of qualified candidates, eliminating resume overload.
Team Diversity: Helped Bye hire beyond their Japanese network while maintaining budget constraints.
"The Noxx screening function was a game-changer. We didn’t have to go through hundreds of resumes - it saved us time and delivered quality candidates." – Datz Daito
The Implementation: Effortless Onboarding and Selection
The Bye team quickly set up their job description on Noxx. While Datz oversaw the overall process, his technical co-founder and CTO, used Noxx’s platform to filter and evaluate candidates. Within a short time, they hired a highly skilled part-time engineer based in the Philippines, who now supports Bye on an as-needed basis.
The Results: Major Cost and Time Savings
Cost Savings: By hiring a part-time engineer at $2,000/month, Bye saved 87% compared to U.S. hires, which would have cost ~$10,000/month in San Francisco. This translates to $150k+ in annual savings (including both salary and avoided staffing agency fees).
Time Efficiency: Noxx eliminated the need for weeks of full-time recruiting, freeing up 70 hours of valuable time for Datz and his team.
Enhanced Diversity: Noxx enabled Bye to build a diverse, global team without relying on local networks.
Impact: Bye hired a top-quality engineer from the Philippines at a fraction of the cost of a U.S. hire.
"Hiring engineers in the U.S. wasn’t an option for us, and Noxx made hiring overseas talent easy, fast, and affordable." – Datz Daito
