Challenge:Building a rockstar development team in Krakow, Poland

The new Krakow-based team was supposed to contribute to the development of the company’s application. First, our task was to find top talents to fill the roles of senior software engineers and team leaders (one of whom was promoted to the position of R&D director as the team grew).

Codete's team played a critical part in a wide range of recruitment tasks: from finding and hiring suitable candidates to onboarding them into the team and project. The candidates provided by Codete were to successfully complete eight stages of recruitment, including tech evaluations, cultural fit assessments, and extensive background checks.

To attract the most skilled software development experts available, the Codete team had to devise a number of strategies to capture the attention of the local IT community. As a result, we have launched several online marketing campaigns and organized a couple of tech meetups with our client’s representatives as part of our Techies Space initiative.

Our ads appeared on some of the trending social media channels and YouTube broadcasts for the tech crowd.

The events we organized with our client were held both online and offline at our signature meetup location in Krakow, namely our resto-bar Techies. We informed the participants about the most significant challenges in our client’s project, presented the company’s mission and vision, and shared some knowledge-sharing strategies used when onboarding new joiners.

The “Build” stage occurred during the global pandemic crisis. The dynamically changing circumstances required a lot of flexibility on our part, but we fully secured the process.
