The Partner
OJO is an Austin-based real estate tech company revolutionizing the homeownership journey. Their platform helps users find custom home listings, calculate buying power, and connect with local real estate experts. With personalized tools and guidance, OJO empowers buyers and sellers to navigate real estate decisions confidently.
The Challenge
OJO aimed to grow its engineering team but hesitated to bring on remote developers, unsure how they would integrate with their existing workflow.
The Howdy Solution:
To ease OJO's concerns, Howdy customized its recruitment process to match OJO's specific needs. They quickly sourced, hired, and onboarded a team of skilled LATAM engineers tailored to OJO’s requirements.
The Outcome:
OJO’s initial doubts about remote engineers vanished within days of working with Howdy hires.
"The commitment shown by Howdy engineers completely changed our perception," said Qingqing Ouyang, Executive Vice President of Engineering at OJO.
​
"OJO and Howdy engineers work seamlessly as a team, integrating and collaborating effectively."
​
Unlike other engineering partners, Howdy stood out by providing ongoing support to its developers.
"Howdy actively listens to their engineers and helps them resolve day-to-day issues, which is truly unique," Qingqing noted. "What sets Howdy apart is their genuine care for people, and this makes a significant difference in how much effort people are willing to put in for the company."
The experience of Howdy's engineers
The collaboration has been just as rewarding for Howdy engineers, who feel valued and supported by OJO.

"The exceptional leadership of Qingqing was one of the standout parts of my time there. Her support and encouragement were crucial for my personal and professional growth."
