Hubstaff is a remote company that created a workforce management platform that offers proof of work, time tracking, and payroll management, along with a remote talent finder and project management software. Initially founded as a two-person team, today Hubstaff employs more than 90 people across the world.[1]
The company puts great emphasis on transparency, access to data, and control.
Hubstaff was seen as a rising tech company in 2015, when they received a nomination as part of Techpoint’s Mira Awards for The Best of Tech in Indiana.[2] The company also made the Inc. 5000 list in 2018[3] and 2019.[4]
History
Dave Nevogt and Jared Brown founded Hubstaff after they began to use freelance staff and wanted a better way to manage them. Nevogt was previously the founder of McCordsville-based Innovative Solutions Inc., while Brown had a background as a developer.[5][6]
Following the establishment of the software, the outsourcing of freelance work became more common with the development of sites such as Elance and oDesk.[7] Hubstaff considered that the use of the system allowed for entrepreneurs and startups to focus on the strategic side of the business, rather than operational tasks.[8] The use of freelance management systems became more frequent as web-based startups began to outsource the majority of their operational teams.[9]
In 2014, the company appeared in the Huffington Post as a commentator when looking for red flags when recruiting on LinkedIn. The analysis carried out by Hubstaff included spotting spelling or grammatical mistakes, as it can demonstrate a sloppy attitude towards detail and communication.[10]
Hubstaff were nominees for the Best Tech in Indiana Award in the best Tech Startup of the Year category in 2015.[2]
In April 2020, an article was published on the Wall Street Journal website, discussing how companies were seeing increases in productivity while using the software developed by Hubstaff.[11]
In May 2020, Hubstaff's co-founder Jared Brown appeared on NBC's The Today Show and talked about the software’s role in supporting businesses in the shift to remote work during the coronavirus pandemic.[12]
