Identity Co., Ltd. announced that its IT freelance agency service, 'Tech-Free,' has been adopted by PIVOT, Inc.

Regarding the background of this adoption, Shingo Kurosawa, head of development at PIVOT, explained that they utilize outsourcing to drive business with speed. Since it is particularly difficult to secure senior-level engineers solely through full-time hiring, they enhance the agility of their development organization by employing external professionals. Currently, freelancers account for approximately 60% of the product team's engineers, contributing to maintained and improved development speed.

As for the changes following the adoption, Kurosawa highlighted the high level of ownership among the participating members. Engineers who deeply resonate with PIVOT's vision and treat the product as their own have enabled the company to drive multiple important projects simultaneously.
