Hi everyone! I'm diving into the world of talent platforms for some contract work my small team needs, and Braintrust keeps coming up. The whole user-owned model is really intriguing.
I've been reading a lot of reviews, and everyone talks about cost and quality, which is great. But I'm coming from a background where we used another platform (Upwork, honestly) and the biggest headache was the vetting—we wasted so much time interviewing folks who looked great on paper but couldn't actually do the specific technical task.
So my big question: has anyone done or seen a real benchmark on Braintrust's **false positive rate**? I mean, after you hire through their process, how often does the person genuinely not have the skills they were presented as having?
I'm especially curious about roles like:
* Full-stack developers (JavaScript/Node/React)
* CRM integration specialists
* Marketing automation architects
Anecdotes are totally welcome! Like, "hired 5, 1 was a miss," or even better, "their testing for [specific skill] seemed to catch X." Trying to understand if the vetting is as robust as it feels from the outside. 😅
Thanks in advance for any insights you can share!
