What was your primary form of communication with Brain Source Recruitment?
Virtual Meeting
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
We were impressed with BrainSource's their exceptional client service, demonstrated through their effortless and streamlined communication. Their ability to simplify complex recruitment processes made our interaction remarkably straightforward and efficient, saving us significant time and resources. Furthermore, their level of professionalism, paired with their deep understanding of the IT industry, sets them apart.
Their dedicated team navigated the nuanced demands of the CTO role in the context of Aysa.ai, requiring minimal guidance from our side. This not only reflects their expertise but also their commitment to understanding the unique needs of their clients. Another unique aspect is their proactive approach, anticipating potential challenges and addressing them promptly. This meant that our involvement in the hiring process was kept to essential decision-making, freeing us to focus on our core business operations.
Their capacity to balance high-quality candidate sourcing with an efficient, hands-off client experience is truly distinctive. BrainSource embodies a remarkable blend of expertise, adaptability, and client-centric focus, making them not just a recruitment agency, but a trusted partner in our business growth.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Brain Source Recruitment could have done differently?
While BrainSource's services were largely impeccable and greatly benefited our recruitment process, there is one potential area for improvement, albeit largely circumstantial rather than performance-based. Due to the geographic distance between us, being located in Bucharest while BrainSource operates out of Cluj, in-person interactions were limited. Despite their excellent virtual communication and professionalism, the opportunities for face-to-face meetings would have added a more personal touch to our collaboration.
While we understand this was largely due to logistical constraints, exploring solutions for more in-person contact, such as occasional travel or utilizing mixed reality technologies for more immersive remote meetings, could further enhance their already top-notch client service. That being said, it's important to note that this did not detract from the overall effectiveness and quality of BrainSource's service, and their professionalism managed to bridge the geographic gap between us remarkably well.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What specific goals or objectives did you hire BrainSource Network - a Recruitment Marketplace to accomplish?
As Founder & CEO of CRMiUM, my decision to engage Brainsource Network was driven by a clear operational need: scaling our technical capacity without compromising delivery quality. We operate in a competitive IT consulting environment where project timelines are tight and client expectations are high. As our portfolio expanded, we required access to experienced developers and technical specialists who could integrate quickly into ongoing CRM and enterprise implementation projects. Our primary objective was to reduce recruitment friction. Traditional hiring methods were consuming significant internal leadership time and slowing down team expansion. We needed a recruitment marketplace that could provide pre-qualified, technically vetted candidates aligned with our stack and delivery methodology. Additionally, we aimed to build a more predictable hiring pipeline to support long-term growth rather than addressing staffing needs reactively. The goal was not just to fill roles, but to establish a structured and reliable channel for sourcing talent whenever new client engagements required additional resources. In short, we partnered with Brainsource Network to increase hiring efficiency, improve candidate quality, and support sustainable scaling of our technical teams.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The scope of our engagement with Brainsource Network was structured around building a dependable recruitment pipeline to support ongoing CRM and enterprise solution projects at CRMiUM.
At the outset, we defined detailed role requirements covering backend and frontend developers, CRM implementation specialists, and technical consultants with client-facing experience. Because our projects often involve complex integrations and customization work, we emphasized candidates with strong problem-solving ability, familiarity with enterprise environments, and experience working within structured delivery frameworks.
The collaboration began with a discovery phase where their team reviewed our technical stack, team composition, and anticipated resource gaps. Based on this alignment, they implemented a targeted sourcing and screening process designed to filter candidates not only by skill set, but also by adaptability to consulting-driven workflows.
Key Deliverables Included:
Clearly defined recruitment briefs aligned with our technical and project requirements
Shortlisted, pre-screened candidates matched to specific CRM and enterprise technology roles
Structured candidate summaries outlining technical background and relevant project exposure
Interview coordination and feedback management between our leadership and candidates
Ongoing pipeline tracking and recruitment progress reporting
Support during onboarding to ensure smooth integration into active client engagements
The scope was not limited to filling isolated positions. Instead, the engagement functioned as an extension of our internal hiring capability, ensuring that talent acquisition aligned directly with delivery commitments and long-term organizational growth.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Through our collaboration with Brainsource Network, we achieved several operational improvements in talent acquisition efficiency at CRMiUM.
One of the most noticeable outcomes was the improvement in the relevance of candidate shortlists. The recruitment marketplace model helped reduce the number of unsuitable applications reaching our internal team, allowing our technical interviewers to focus more on serious and well matched candidates. This made interview sessions more productive since discussions were already centered around candidates who met our core competency expectations.
We also observed a more predictable hiring timeline for several consulting and development roles. Positions that previously required extended search efforts were filled within more manageable cycles, which supported our project staffing requirements without creating pressure on ongoing client deliveries.
Another measurable result was smoother team integration after hiring. The candidates introduced through the platform demonstrated good understanding of consulting project environments and were able to start contributing to client work relatively quickly after onboarding.
From a business operations perspective, the partnership improved our workforce planning visibility. Having access to a structured recruitment channel allowed us to respond faster when new client engagements required additional technical resources.
Overall, the project contributed to better hiring quality, improved pipeline predictability, and more efficient internal recruitment operations.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Project management was handled in a structured and professional manner by Brainsource Network throughout our collaboration with CRMiUM.
From the beginning, they established a clear communication framework and assigned a dedicated contact person who ensured that recruitment activities were aligned with our hiring priorities. Pipeline updates, candidate summaries, and interview coordination information were shared consistently, which helped our internal team stay informed without requiring constant follow-ups.
In terms of delivery, they generally met the agreed timelines for candidate sourcing and shortlist submission. When we requested priority handling for specific technical roles, they responded with appropriate urgency and maintained momentum even under tighter search conditions. We did not experience delays that negatively impacted our project or client commitments.
What stood out was their responsiveness to feedback. Whenever our technical leads provided detailed comments after interviews or requested refinement in candidate profiles, their team quickly adjusted sourcing strategies to reflect the updated expectations. This iterative response approach helped improve the relevance of subsequent candidate recommendations.
Overall, their project management approach was organized, dependable, and flexible enough to accommodate our evolving business and technical needs.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
What impressed me most was their ability to operate as a strategic recruitment partner rather than just a talent sourcing platform. Instead of focusing solely on matching CVs to job descriptions, they demonstrated a deeper understanding of the consulting and delivery model used at CRMiUM.
Their team showed genuine interest in how our projects are structured, how our client engagements evolve, and what type of technical mindset is required for consultants working in enterprise implementation environments. This level of business awareness made the candidate selection process more meaningful and helped improve overall hiring alignment.
Another unique aspect was the transparency of their collaboration process. The visibility into pipeline progress, candidate evaluation notes, and interview coordination created a sense of control and predictability that is often missing in external recruitment partnerships.
In general, their combination of marketplace efficiency, consultative communication, and understanding of IT consulting delivery dynamics made them stand out from more traditional recruitment vendors we have worked with.
Are there any areas for improvement or something BrainSource Network - a Recruitment Marketplace could have done differently?
Overall, our experience with Brainsource Network was positive. However, if I were to suggest one area for potential improvement, it would be introducing more structured forward planning discussions during the early stages of engagement.
While their execution during active recruitment phases was strong, having more regular strategic check ins about upcoming hiring needs could help optimize sourcing efforts ahead of demand spikes at CRMiUM. This would be particularly useful in consulting environments where client projects can scale quickly and create sudden resource requirements.
Additionally, expanding access to highly specialized profiles in some emerging or niche technology domains could further enhance flexibility for complex enterprise implementation roles.
These are relatively minor suggestions rather than significant concerns. Their overall recruitment quality, communication consistency, and responsiveness to our feedback remained reliable throughout the collaboration.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What specific goals or objectives did you hire BrainSource Network - a Recruitment Marketplace to accomplish?
As a Product Manager at Software Mind Romania & Moldova, my primary objective in engaging Brainsource Network was to strengthen our ability to scale product teams without slowing down delivery timelines. We manage multiple client driven software initiatives simultaneously, and our internal roadmap required additional engineering and QA capacity within defined timeframes. Traditional recruitment channels were not providing the speed or specialization we needed, particularly for roles tied to specific technology stacks and agile delivery environments. The goal was not simply to hire more people, but to access a more efficient and structured recruitment pipeline. We wanted pre qualified candidates who could integrate into cross functional product teams, understand sprint based workflows, and contribute quickly without extensive ramp up time. In summary, we partnered with Brainsource Network to improve hiring predictability, reduce time to onboard qualified technical talent, and support ongoing product delivery commitments without compromising quality standards.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The scope of our collaboration with Brainsource Network was centered on building a reliable recruitment stream to support multiple active product initiatives at Software Mind Romania & Moldova.
At the outset, we defined detailed role specifications aligned with our product roadmap. This included backend and frontend engineers, QA specialists, and in some cases DevOps support. Each role required familiarity with agile methodologies, sprint planning, and collaborative product environments. The objective was to identify candidates who could integrate quickly into cross functional teams without disrupting velocity.
Their team conducted an initial discovery phase to understand our technology stacks, team structures, and delivery expectations. Based on this alignment, they implemented a targeted sourcing and screening process that filtered candidates according to both technical competency and adaptability to product driven workflows.
Key Deliverables Included:
Clearly defined recruitment briefs aligned with product team requirements
Shortlisted, pre screened technical candidates matched to specific stack and seniority levels
Structured candidate summaries highlighting technical strengths and relevant project experience
Interview coordination and communication management
Ongoing pipeline visibility and progress reporting
Support during onboarding to ensure smoother integration into active product teams
The engagement was structured to operate as an extension of our internal recruitment function, ensuring that talent acquisition supported delivery continuity rather than becoming a bottleneck in our product lifecycle.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
From a product delivery perspective, the collaboration with Brainsource Network produced outcomes that were directly tied to execution stability at Software Mind Romania & Moldova.
One of the most measurable improvements was the reduction in time-to-fill for key technical roles. Positions that previously risked extending sprint capacity gaps were filled within more predictable timelines, which helped us maintain planned release cycles across multiple product streams.
We also saw a noticeable increase in candidate suitability at the interview stage. A higher percentage of shortlisted candidates progressed to final evaluation rounds compared to earlier hiring efforts. This reduced the amount of internal time spent on early-stage screening and allowed our engineering leads to focus on deeper technical discussions.
Another tangible outcome was smoother onboarding and faster contribution to active projects. Because candidates were pre-aligned with our agile delivery model and technology stack, ramp-up time was shortened. New team members were able to participate meaningfully in sprint ceremonies and development tasks without prolonged adjustment periods.
From a broader operational standpoint, the structured recruitment pipeline improved workforce planning accuracy. We were able to anticipate staffing capacity more confidently, which reduced delivery risk across ongoing client engagements.
Overall, the measurable impact was reflected in improved hiring predictability, sustained sprint velocity, and stronger alignment between recruitment efforts and product roadmap execution.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
From a product management standpoint, the project coordination provided by Brainsource Network was structured and process-driven, which aligned well with how we operate at Software Mind Romania & Moldova.
They established a clear workflow at the beginning of the engagement, including defined role briefs, sourcing timelines, and feedback loops after each interview round. Communication was consistent, and updates on candidate pipelines were shared regularly, allowing us to monitor progress without needing constant follow-ups.
In terms of timelines, they generally delivered candidate shortlists within the agreed windows. For high-priority roles that directly impacted sprint capacity, they demonstrated urgency and adjusted sourcing intensity to meet our expectations. We did not experience delays that affected release planning or milestone commitments.
What I appreciated most was their responsiveness to iterative feedback. When our engineering leads refined technical requirements or requested adjustments after initial interviews, their team recalibrated quickly and returned with more closely aligned profiles. This adaptability helped maintain momentum without restarting the process entirely.
Overall, their project management approach was organized, communicative, and flexible, supporting our delivery schedule while remaining responsive to evolving product needs.

Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
What I found most impressive was their ability to understand recruitment through a product delivery lens rather than treating it as a standalone HR function.
In many cases, recruitment partners focus primarily on filling roles. What differentiated them was their effort to understand how each hire would impact sprint velocity, release planning, and cross-functional collaboration within Software Mind Romania & Moldova. They asked questions about backlog structure, team composition, and technical dependencies, which demonstrated awareness of how staffing decisions directly influence product execution.
Another unique aspect was the clarity of candidate documentation. The profiles we received were not just CVs; they included structured insights that helped us quickly assess alignment with our technology stack and agile workflow. This made internal evaluation more efficient and reduced ambiguity during technical interviews.
Overall, their combination of structured marketplace processes and genuine understanding of software delivery environments made them stand out from traditional recruitment providers we have engaged with in the past.
Are there any areas for improvement or something BrainSource Network - a Recruitment Marketplace could have done differently?
Overall, our collaboration with Brainsource Network was effective and well-structured. However, from a product management perspective, one area that could be further strengthened is deeper forward-planning alignment tied directly to roadmap forecasting.
While their responsiveness during active hiring phases was strong, integrating more proactive quarterly planning sessions could help anticipate upcoming capacity gaps earlier, especially in environments like Software Mind Romania & Moldova where product pipelines evolve continuously. Earlier visibility into future hiring waves could allow sourcing efforts to begin before delivery pressure increases.
Additionally, expanding access to highly specialized niche profiles, particularly in emerging technologies or advanced DevOps tooling would add even more flexibility for complex product ecosystems.
That said, these suggestions are incremental improvements rather than concerns. Their overall recruitment execution, communication structure, and alignment with delivery requirements were consistently reliable throughout the engagement.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The collaboration began with detailed alignment sessions where BrainSource Network met with our technical leads and HR team. They sought to understand our technology stack, development methodology, and product roadmap before initiating any sourcing activity.
The scope of work included:
Comprehensive role scoping workshops for engineering and product positions
Engagement of niche recruiters experienced in software development environments
Structured screening of candidates with focus on practical coding experience and system design capability
Delivery of curated shortlists with contextual notes regarding experience and career trajectory
Access to a real time collaboration dashboard for tracking interviews and feedback
Market intelligence on software engineering talent trends
One notable example involved hiring a senior backend developer to optimize performance for one of our core platforms. The role required strong experience in distributed systems and database optimization. BrainSource Network presented candidates who were able to discuss real world scenarios involving scaling and performance troubleshooting.
In another case, we needed a DevOps engineer to streamline deployment processes and improve infrastructure reliability. The candidates introduced demonstrated hands on experience with cloud platforms and continuous integration workflows, which significantly shortened our evaluation cycle.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Through our partnership with BrainSource Network, we successfully filled several key engineering and product positions.
The quality of candidates led to more efficient interview rounds and stronger alignment between role requirements and candidate capabilities. Our leadership team spent less time screening unsuitable profiles and more time engaging with well qualified professionals.
One engineer recruited through this collaboration significantly improved system stability by identifying performance bottlenecks in a high traffic environment. Another hire enhanced our release management process, contributing to smoother deployment cycles and improved internal coordination.
We also gained better predictability in our hiring pipeline, allowing us to plan development milestones with greater confidence.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Project management was organized and transparent from the beginning. We had a dedicated contact who coordinated communication and ensured that all open roles were progressing according to plan.
Candidate submissions were delivered within agreed timelines, and updates were consistent. When we provided detailed technical feedback after interviews, BrainSource Network refined the candidate search criteria accordingly.
There was a period when we had to reprioritize hiring due to a new product launch. They responded quickly by shifting focus toward the most urgent role and increasing sourcing efforts. Communication remained clear and proactive throughout the process.
The structured tracking tools reduced administrative overhead and kept both our technical and HR teams aligned.
