Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

on time delivery and super responsive

What was your primary form of communication with Capital Recruiters?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their strong technical alignment with cloud engineering and infrastructure requirements is excellent. Over the course of our collaboration, Capital Recruiters has efficiently filled 16 key positions across multiple European regions. They handled an extensive range of specialized roles for us, including DevOps, MLOps, and FinOps engineers, alongside Solution Architects, Data Engineers, and Full Stack developers. Additionally, they proved their capability in international sourcing across Germany, Spain, France, and Ukraine, while also securing our internal team members, such as Recruitment Managers. The quality of submissions and the technical vetting of candidates remain highly consistent.

They have successfully delivered multiple technical and administrative hires across Ukraine and Western Europe. They are an excellent talent acquisition asset for any company scaling cloud or technical operations.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Capital Recruiters could have done differently?

We work on different projects, and Capital has managed to adapt to all our changes and the intense dynamics. Still, sourcing for rare and highly specific tech expertise, such as Data Science, naturally requires substantial time and deep screening due to market scarcity. Their team navigates these industry challenges effectively by staying engaged, providing constant updates, and keeping the pipeline transparent.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the HR and recruitment manager at GamePoint. We develop social casino games.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Capital Recruiters?

We needed a recruitment partner to fill various development roles.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

So far, they’ve helped us fill roles for a Unity 3D developer, an acclimation engineer, a senior Java developer, a DevOps resource, a product owner, a manual QA engineer, and a PHP developer.

We began our relationship by agreeing to a contract that laid out what we would pay, who would be responsible for what, and what information they would provide about the candidates. Now, whenever we have a new opening to fill, we have a Skype call with our recruiters to give them the information they need to fill the role.

When they find a candidate, they send us an email with a full description including the candidate’s salary expectation, personal characteristics, a reason for leaving their previous position, and availability. Then, I accept or decline the candidate, continuing my own interviews and internal process if I accept. If I decline I explain my reason why.

How did you come to work with Capital Recruiters?

I knew they had a big team of recruiters, and they have dedicated recruiters for each position and technology I've given them. For me, that means around 15-20 people can search candidates for my difference vacancies simultaneously. Usually, in Ukraine, a recruitment agency will consist of one or two freelance recruiters that handle all openings for 10–15 companies. Capital has a number of dedicated recruiters for each client doing deep and specific search.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since January 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The number of candidates they provide for each slot is good, so we can always find someone to choose. They’re good quality.

How did Capital Recruiters perform from a project management standpoint?

They have proper communication. If I need something, they’re always online. They respond on email and Skype, but it could be faster.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re a good team of professionals with a lot of recruiters available. Every team is dedicated to a specific technology. They know the market well and have enough candidates in their pipeline.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Aside from providing candidates that match our candidates 100%, which isn’t possible, there isn’t anything.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m head of recruitment for Daxx, a Dutch outstaffing company. My task is to ensure a fast and efficient recruitment process for all our development teams.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Capital Recruiters?

We needed to hire an external resource to assist us with closing challenging positions in the Ukrainian IT market.

What were your goals for this engagement?

Our goal was to close five IT positions in Ukraine.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I had a positive experience working with Capital Recruiters at my previous company, so I wanted to work with them again.

Describe the engagement in detail.

Capital Recruiters generates a pipeline of relevant candidates, which is important as we have more than 100 open positions at any time. In particular, they assist us with hiring for senior IT roles.

What was the team composition?

We work with a team of 11 recruiters.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the engagement that demonstrate progress or success?

We’ve made several great hires through them already. Out of our target goal of five positions, two of them were closed successfully by Capital Recruiters.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The collaboration is quite effective. There’s constant communication flow between our teams. Capital Recruiters is always flexible and able to handle changes to the requirements caused by our clients. Also, they’re very accurate and only provide profiles that are well-matched to the position.

What did you find most impressive about this vendor?

The quality of the candidates provided is most impressive.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The number of pipeline candidates could be higher. However, these positions are very challenging so volume is less important than quality.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am Talent Acquisition Team Lead at a Ukrainian startup. We're building an all-in-one, cross-platform privacy solution.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Capital Recruiters?

HIring for R&D Team. 

What were your goals for this engagement?

Our goal was to hire 2-3 strong T-shaped engineers (broad knowledge base with deep knowledge of a specific topic) for our R&D team within the shortest time frame possible. Both in-house recruitment team and Capital Recruiters were engaged.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We had a long list of Recruitment companies who could help us with our challenge. The hortlist was formed after careful reference check. Capital Recruiters was one of the five companies we talked to. It was important to understand whether our potential partner could offer relevant expertise, understanding of our market, strong team, time capacity and high level of service. Capital Recruiters seemed the ones who could make a good fit by those criteria.

Describe the engagement in detail.

After the contract was signed, we had an intake meeting (1.5h hour-long) where we discussed our goals and the position we needed help filling in detail. Within the first two weeks, we started receiving CVs of relevant candidates, together with summaries based on a pre-screen conducted by Capital Recruiters team. We had a common blacklist updated on a regular basis. Hiring was challenging because there are not so many of such specialists in the market and not many of them were ready to work within an R&D scope only. We even had a couple offers declined (one was a candidate we found, and one came from Capital Recruiters).

What was the team composition?

Dedicated team of recruiters from Capital Recruiters (3-4 people if I'm not mistaken) and our in-house team (2 people).

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the engagement that demonstrate progress or success?

Unfortunately, we didn't manage to fill all the positions, yet we had very good candidates from Capital Recruiters, one of them declined our offer, and one more candidate was hired (his profile is C++/Machine Learning).

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Workflow was perfect, the Capital Recruiters team were pre-responsive, detail-oriented and customer-focused. I know what I'm saying because I've had experience with other vendors where I faced either overcommunication, or complete ignorance. But not in the case with this team. They know what they're doing.

What did you find most impressive about this vendor?

1. Speed
2. Quality
3. Service (high level of communication and empathy)

Are there any areas for improvement?

Again, compared to other vendors I've worked with, there is an area for improvement in regard to negotiations support, when it is especially important to feel support from the vendor in negotiating offers with candidates and handling counter-offers. In this case, to be honest, it was partially our initiative to drive it that way.

Describe the engagement in detail.

What was the team composition?

We work with few recruiters from Java and DevOps/QA team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the engagement that demonstrate progress or success?

We found experienced engineers who successfully help our company to develop our product.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Recruiters respond fast, even in evenings or weekends. We like communication.

What did you find most impressive about this vendor?

They have specialized teams Java, DevOps etc. All team work on your project so we received lots of CVs fast and didn’t feel any problems when some of recruiters was on a sick leave or vacation.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Of course we would like to get candidates who 100% match our requirements, but it is not possible I think.

Sourcing for senior partners and executive directors within a demanding legal environment involves a delicate calibration of skills and cultural alignment.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

apital Recruiters supported us with an executive search for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) position for a large international company. The role was strategically important and required a combination of strong technical expertise, leadership experience, business acumen, and the ability to work in an international environment. The scope of work included requirements gathering, market mapping, candidate sourcing, screening and assessment, interview coordination, candidate presentation, and support throughout the hiring process. Key deliverables included a qualified shortlist of executive-level candidates, regular market and search updates, and successful closure of the position. The search was completed successfully, and the hired candidate met the key requirements defined at the start of the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The most important outcome was the successful placement of a CTO for a strategically important leadership role. Despite the complexity of the search and the limited pool of qualified candidates, Capital Recruiters delivered a strong shortlist and helped us complete the hiring process successfully. Additional indicators of success included the quality and relevance of presented candidates, efficient communication throughout the project, and the ability to close the position within the agreed search process. The engagement resulted in a successful hire who met both the technical and leadership requirements of the role.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was professional, organized, and transparent throughout the engagement. Communication was consistent, and we received regular updates on the search progress, market feedback, and candidate pipeline.

They were proactive in addressing challenges, aligned well with our expectations, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. Overall, they were easy to work with, responsive to our needs, and focused on achieving a successful outcome.

What was your primary form of communication with Capital Recruiters?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed me most was their ability to understand a complex executive-level role and translate business requirements into a targeted search strategy. They did not simply provide candidates—they invested time in understanding the company, the leadership expectations, and the specific challenges of the position. I was also impressed by the quality of communication, professionalism, and the caliber of candidates they were able to attract for a difficult CTO search. Their combination of market knowledge, structured approach, and commitment to delivering results made them stand out from many recruitment agencies I have worked with.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Capital Recruiters could have done differently?

Overall, I was very satisfied with the collaboration and the results delivered. Given the complexity of the search, I do not recall any significant issues that required improvement. Communication was clear, expectations were managed well, and the project was completed successfully. If I had to suggest anything, it would be even more frequent market insights and benchmarking updates during the search process, although the level of communication provided was already strong.
