What was before our cooperation – the main challenge
Two co-founders sought assistance in managing the recruitment process, enabling them to concentrate on their daily responsibilities. The CEO aimed to expand the business, while the CTO focused on enhancing the application’s architecture for better product-market fit. They required further guidance as they needed to be made aware of current market trends, budgets, and recruiting practices. The company had not hired anyone in the past 1.5 years and had no internal HR or recruiter. Therefore, they decided to be engaged with our IT recruitment agency.
The challenges were the following:
- The company required to hire several niche engineers of Senior and Mid-level, independent enough to work entirely remotely;
- Our client has niche technology, namely Elixir, so niche engineers needed to know this back-end technology and ideally, front-end on React as well;
- Considering the startup atmosphere, they wanted to find someone energetic and passionate about coding their solution and willing to go the extra mile if it is required for the project’s success.
The solution Itentio IT Recruitment brought to the partner
To better understand the needs of the CEO and CTO in terms of technical and soft skills, we conducted brief calls with them. It helped us create a market mapping and focus on the correct pipeline. Based on our internal knowledge and external market research of similar positions, we advised on the current market status, salary ranges, and budgets. We agreed on a benefits package that is attractive to potential candidates joining their startup.
After confirming all aspects of the positions, we prepared job descriptions and engaged two recruiters from our team for these positions immediately.
Our service package provided to the client:
- Requirement Analysis: We worked closely with the client to define the specific positions, skills, and qualifications required for the remote software niche engineers.

Case study accomplishments and results of our partnerships
Itentio IT Recruitment agency delivered five perfectly selected candidates for the client. The timing was perfect, as we built the pipeline of five candidates and conducted the recruitment process comprehensively in less than one month!
