Does your company lose money because of an expert staff shortage?

Happy customer story

Peter is the team manager in the challenging FinTech environment. Two main competitors introduced new features to the product which made their clients delighted. Unfortunately Peter’s company’s clients liked them too - and they could not find them in Peter’s company’s product. Peter’s team needed to implement the same functionalities, in order to avoid his company being left far behind the competition. On top, a security audit found a big vulnerability in the back-end code which needed to be fixed asap. The team was overloaded with work, they had been looking for a Senior Back-end Developer they desperately needed for 6 months with no effect, and on top another Senior Developer just resigned.

The team is frustrated with being overloaded and Peter is waiting for next resignations to come. Business is pushing for results. The ad posted on main job boards results with junior and mid CV’s, and there is no one in the team having the time to train them.

When he came to us, Peter was overstressed, overwhelmed as he found himself in the deadlock.

We had a 30 minute call and he started to list the must have requirements, which was more less equal to the tech stack used by the team. He was surprised as we interrupted him in a polite manner and asked what his company can offer to potential candidates? What are the projects? What are development perspectives? What is the company culture? After that we have narrowed down the requirements list to three must-have skills and one deal breaker. We asked him to think which skills are critical and which one can learn quickly, already adding value to the team.The pool of potential candidates on the market grew by 75%.

In 3 days Peter had the first candidate, and in 2 weeks he was ready to interview 5 of them. After each interview Peter received information from us on what was candidate reception and how many other recruitments one is taking part in. He could easily weigh the probability of an offer's acceptance. Finally he decided to make the offer to one of the candidates, who had the key skills and his salary expectations were within the range. He also seemed most fit to the company's culture. He was a senior developer, doing well in his current role, but felt thet there was no room for further development for him. He was too busy to think about starting actively looking for the role, but when he got a call from us, with the message listing out main benefits, he decided to give it a try. We have made the offer on client’s behalf, and it was accepted, 3 weeks from the briefing call. We were in touch with the candidate to make sure he is not accepting the counter-offer from the former employer, and no other conditions occur, preventing him from starting work. After 6 weeks from the briefing call, Peter’s team was strongly enforced by a senior developer, energized by another challenge on the way.
