What was before our cooperation – the main challenge
Despite the challenges posed by COVID, our partner company approached Itentio IT Recruitment to assist with their hiring needs in Poland. They found the country the most attractive location in Central and Eastern Europe due to its strong IT talent market.
We received a mass email from the European CEO of a company that was contacting IT Recruitment agencies in Europe. We promptly responded to their request for cooperation within three minutes. We then scheduled a call and agreed on the terms of our collaboration. Our quick response time was one of the reasons why the company decided to partner with us.
As their solution rapidly developed, the company gained new clients, resulting in a shortage of IT specialists.
Their main challenges were the following:
- Hiring only Senior and Lead-level Engineers.
- Building small remote teams (around 4-5 people each) or fulfilling existing teams by bringing talents from Poland.
- English level needed to be at least between B2/C1, or better C1 due to communication with team members from the USA.
- Remote mode of work and B2B cooperation from Poland due to lack of office and legal entity in Poland at the beginning of our collaboration.
- Building brand awareness of the new player in the Polish IT talent market.
