GLOBALDEV

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of Puppyfinder Corp., a puppy search engine.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GLOBALDEV?

We were looking for a total communication solution between buyers and sellers on our platform. We only used email, so we wanted to get custom-made real-time chat capabilities for our platform. We have verified and non-verified users, and we wanted to have control over what was happening in the communication center.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

GLOBALDEV helped us design and develop the custom software system we needed. The team took care of everything from the beginning to the end. They listened to what we wanted and came up with a plan for the initial stages.

They selected the suitable components, platforms, and languages. They used TypeScript, React 18, React Router, and more for the frontend.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 8–10 teammates from GLOBALDEV. They set up a professional team of developers and a project manager. They also assigned people to take documentation of all the steps and features.

How did you come to work with GLOBALDEV?

We found them on Clutch.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent over $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2023, and the first stage was completed in March 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have 1,000 users utilizing the platform, and we haven’t had any issues with the functionality. It works fine, and we’re happy with the core product and its speed.

How did GLOBALDEV perform from a project management standpoint?

GLOBALDEV delivered on time and within budget. Sometimes it took longer on our part because we were adding different features as we designed the whole thing. However, they met our expectations in terms of deliveries. They worked quickly. We used Jira, Asana, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

GLOBALDEV was organized and had a well-specified development process. The clarity from the beginning of the project was to be expected. They provided the hours and charges, and their estimations were accurate and clean.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I didn’t see any issues at all; everything was pretty solid. The communication was perfect, and there were no breaks in anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure that all the technical requirements are documented on paper. When you do a project, you sometimes overlook different ways that can apply to what you’re trying to do. Well-documented technical requirements are a huge plus.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of data operations at Energy Outreach Colorado.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GLOBALDEV?

We needed help developing an online application for our energy assistance program.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

GLOBALDEV is helping us develop a web app that allows participants to apply online for the energy assistance programs we provide. The first step was exploratory; we took some time to define the requirements and did some wireframe designs. From there, they built a refined estimate of the cost.

Once we had the UX, requirements, and wireframe designs, we looked at the cost and decided what features we could keep and what we couldn’t. We've gone from there. GLOBALDEV uses Figma for design and React for frontend development.

What is the team composition?

We have a project manager, a UI/UX designer, front- and backend developers, QA teammates, and DevOps engineers.

How did you come to work with GLOBALDEV?

A long time ago, I worked with Steelkiwi, and they were absorbed by GLOBALDEV. My experience with Steelkiwi was good, so I reached out to GLOBALDEV. I also reached out to some other providers, evaluated them, and decided to go with GLOBALDEV.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We don’t have development capabilities, so GLOBALDEV has enabled us to do something we wouldn’t be able to do ourselves. 

How did GLOBALDEV perform from a project management standpoint?

We've gone a little over budget, but that is more due to our changing requirements. GLOBALDEV always communicates the impact of these changes on the budget and is clear about the upfront cost. Overall, they communicate very well using Jira, Slack, email, and phone calls.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I want to give a shout-out to Mykhailo, who is our frontend developer, and also to our backend developer. They've done a great job of trying to understand our issues. Additionally, they're great at communicating, asking questions, and ensuring they understand the requirements. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of their work meets our expectations.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could improve the tracking of features and issues. At some points, there hasn't been clear visibility in terms of the features they had, the issues they were working on, and what they had finished.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

When developing the requirements, make sure all internal stakeholders are involved in the discussion and that everybody is on the same page. The initial phase of developing requirements and user stories is valuable, rather than jumping into development; it helps clarify the picture.

BACKGROUND

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire GLOBALDEV to accomplish?

• Provide Frontend IT Dev

SOLUTION

How did you find GLOBALDEV?

Networking Events

Why did you select GLOBALDEV over others?

• Pricing fit our budget
• Good value for cost

How many teammates from GLOBALDEV were assigned to this project?

2-5 Employees

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

Developing new features for our mobile application, while also focusing on system optimizations, extensive refactoring, and security enhancements. The project addressed features like Automatic Tracking, design implementation, and integration of third-party services.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The number of builds produced and the overall progress of the concept. When we started, the concept was in a barebones state with only a minimal functional prototype. Now, we are more than 80% of the way to the final product.

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

Delays were inevitable, but they were primarily due to technical issues rather than any shortcomings on the part of the Global Dev team. Overall, the team was easy to work with and responsive to our company’s needs. At one point, one of their members felt so integrated into our processes that it seemed like she was part of our internal team rather than an external contractor.

What was your primary form of communication with GLOBALDEV?

Virtual Meeting

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

The responsiveness of the contact person I work with is unparalleled by any other company. Even if it was 11 PM, I could count on receiving a response to my issue within 15-30 minutes. In the rare worst-case scenario, a meeting would be scheduled for the following day, no matter the circumstances. Additionally, their flexibility in drafting contracts to accommodate the needs of a small company was truly impressive. At no point did we feel taken advantage of; instead, we felt understood and supported to the fullest extent possible.

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

Perhaps establishing offices in other countries would be beneficial, allowing meetings with representatives to take place in person as well.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a fintech that provides technology solutions relating to loans and financing. I am the an executive, responsible for leading the company and overseeing all aspects of its operations, including the interactions with SteelKiwi.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Steelkiwi, and what were your goals?

Our company hired Steelkiwi to help with building our back-office software and augmenting our existing development team. Our goals in hiring Steelkiwi included the building of the back-office software, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our software development process, increasing the capacity of our team, and bringing in specialised expertise and skills.

By working with Steelkiwi, we hoped to achieve a high level of quality and performance in the software we were developing and to meet internal deadlines or milestones that had been set. We also hired Steelkiwi to help with specific internal projects, such as the design, development, testing, or deployment of back-office application features. In any case, the ultimate goal of hiring Steelkiwi was to help our company achieve its development objectives.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We first learned about this vendor from Clutch, where we found positive reviews of their work for similar clients. After reading the review, we decided to reach out to them and schedule an interview to learn more about their capabilities and experience.

After interviewing SteelKiwi, we added them to a shortlist of potential vendor candidates and conducted client references to gather additional insights into their work. The deciding factors for us were the positive Clutch reviews and the positive feedback we received from client references. Based on these factors, we ultimately selected this vendor to work with us on our project.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Our back-office system is a set of stand-alone workplaces which are combined in an end-to-end system and address different parts of the credit financing journey. For the MVP phase, Steelkiwi started by designing the overall user experience of the back-office software. Key features include logging in to the back office and viewing, sorting, searching, and filtering loan applications.

They then built the various workspaces of the back office, including the Origination Workspace (for creating and managing loan applications), Underwriting Workspace (for making decisions on whether the loan application should be approved), Servicing Workspace (for disbursing funds for the approved loans, monitoring, and managing the repayment of loans), Collection Workspace (for processing past-due loans), System Workspace (user accounts, notifications, and documents management) and Tasks.

**Technologies used include:** 

Backend:

• Python
• Django
• Django Rest Framework
• PostgreSQL
• Redis
• Celery
• Docker/Docker compose
• AWS S3
• AWS Cloudfront
• Sentry

Frontend:

• ReactJs
• Redux
• Redux-saga
• Redux-toolkit
• Formik
• Yup
• react-query
• prop-types
• dayJs
• rc-table

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

8 people from the vendor’s team worked with us, including 2 Business Analysts, 1 Python Engineer, 2 Frontend Engineers, 1 UI/UX Designer, and 2 QA Engineers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

SteelKiwi was able to deliver a fully functional back-office app that met all of our business requirements. The team was proactive, collaborative, highly professional, and always on top of their assigned goals. They were also responsive to our feedback and often took no time to address new queries. Overall, we found it very easy to work with SteelKiwi and were consistently impressed with the quality of the project outcomes.

One area for improvement in measurable outcomes is that SteelKiwi could have been more accurate in estimating timing and costing. While there were minor delays to completion, the delays were not too problematic for our company and are somewhat expected from our experience working with other agencies. In the future, we would appreciate if SteelKiwi could be more proactive in striving to complete projects within the set timeframe. However, as mentioned, this was a minor issue that we anticipated and did not significantly impact the project's overall success.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

SteelKiwi has a structured and professional approach to project management. They use a variety of communication tools, including Slack, Confluence, Trello, and JIRA, to stay in touch with us and keep us informed about the progress of the project. The team is highly interactive and provides us with regular updates on their progress.

We have found that SteelKiwi's structured project management style, timely communication, and great sense of responsibility have given us full confidence in their ability to deliver high-quality software on time. While we do not have much in-person interaction with SteelKiwi due to the remote nature of the project, their use of these communication tools has helped to keep us connected and informed.

One area for improvement in terms of communication could be to provide more frequent updates on when the next release/deployment/demo will be. While we receive weekly reports detailing the work that has been done, we would appreciate more frequent updates about the actual release to help us stay on top of the project's progress. However, this is a minor issue and has not significantly impacted the success of the project.

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

One thing that really stands out to us about Steelkiwi is their structured approach to project management. They have a clear system in place for tracking tasks and progress, and this has helped to ensure that our projects stay on track and are completed efficiently. Another impressive aspect of Steelkiwi is the strength of their teamwork, despite the fact that they are a remote-working team.

Each team member takes full ownership of their tasks and is also aware of what the other members are working on. This allows them to collaborate effectively and ensure that all aspects of the project are being handled efficiently. We also appreciate the clear and professional manner in which Steelkiwi communicates with us. They keep us informed of progress and are always available to answer any questions or address any concerns we may have.

Specifically, we have been most impressed by Steelkiwi's ability to maintain high quality delivery even during difficult circumstances. During the Ukraine war, when a number of team members working with us were based in Ukraine, Steelkiwi's management team was able to maintain a smooth process and keep the team working effectively despite the challenges and disruptions caused by the war.

This is a testament to their strong management skills and ability to adapt to changes and solve many challenges. Overall, we find Steelkiwi's skills and expertise to be complementary, and this has contributed to the successful completion of our projects. We believe that Steelkiwi's structured project management system, strong teamwork, and clear communication are key factors that have contributed to their success and have made them a valuable partner for our company.

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

Overall, we have been happy with the work provided by SteelKiwi. Their deliverables have consistently met our expectations, and we appreciate their commitment to quality. - There was one instance where we had concerns about the performance of a specific project member, and they promptly replaced that member upon our request. We appreciate their willingness to address our concerns and make sure that the team is meeting our expectations. -

Another issue we have encountered is that the team has changed somewhat over the 1-year course of our interaction with SteelKiwi. While we would prefer to work with the same team for the duration of the project, this has not always been possible due to circumstances beyond the team's control. However, the team has made an effort to ensure a smooth transition and has done their best to maintain continuity despite the changes.

Additionally, a few team members have left the company during the project, which has presented some challenges. However, we understand that these departures may have been due to disruptions caused by the Ukraine war, and we appreciate the agency's efforts to minimize the impact on the project. - We have also provided some feedback to SteelKiwi in terms of giving us more visibility on billing and hours accrued, and they were responsive to our suggestions and implemented the changes we requested.

One thing we particularly appreciate is the quick response times of our project manager, Daniel. He has always been prompt in addressing any questions, suggestions, or enquiries, which gives us confidence that the agency is always looking for ways to improve. Overall, we feel that SteelKiwi is open to feedback and willing to make changes in order to meet our needs and expectations.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an executive at our startup, it is an e-market place that helps streamline the process between vendors and clients in the event place.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Steelkiwi, and what were your goals?

We hired Steelkiwi to develop our application, frontend and backend. Our goal was to have a detailed yet user friendly application and dashboard for both our customers and our vendors.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

After countless hours and meetings with various companies, we decided on Steelkiwi for a range of reasons. Significantly, our first point of contact, Igor the business development manager was exceptionally accommodating of even our most ambitious plans and continued to be so throughout. He went as far as making the trip over to Jeddah to meet in person and spent many hours over zoom patiently answering all our questions and always ensuring that the decisions regarding our application were made in our best interest.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Our key deliverables were the main application for customers and the vendor dashboard for our vendors, as well as our admin dashboard. The frontend was developed using Flutter and Python. While the backend was developed using Django.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We started with a business development manager Igor, as well as Oksana our project manager and a business analyst Igor. We mostly interacted with Oksana and Igor as well as a team of frontend, backend developers (approximately 4 or 5) all who were excellent and quick to adjust to any changes in specifications that we had.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

While we have yet to launch, the quality tests amongst friends and family have gone very well. They understood our desire for a clean interface that flowed very well together and at all stages surpassed our expectations.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Oksana was very responsive at all stages of this project, she was very clear and ensured that we were kept abreast of all aspects of development and finances. She was also quick to adjust according to what worked best for us, for example while the bulk of communication between us and the development happened on slack, she quickly adjusted to the fact that our team worked better on WhatsApp and without hesitation continued the conversation there.

There was never a moment where she felt unreachable or difficult to work with. Deliverable timelines were met on a timely basis. In short Oksana is and has always been willing to go above and beyond.

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

While there are many ways in which we could answer this question about Steelkiwi our most standout experience with them happened towards the end of the project, when they should have been planning to wind down and cut down on resources spent on our project. Due to a personal matter that had occurred on our end, our ability to work at full capacity was hindered significantly.

Without hesitation the entire team significantly Igor and Oksana ensured we were taken care of, they safeguarded our interests while simultaneously allowing us the space and time to work out our issues. This situation also occurred in the backdrop of significant instability and turmoil in Ukraine where most of the team operate and reside. Incredibly this situation did not for a moment hinder their synchronicity of their team as a unit and their ability to work seamlessly with us as clients.

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

This is a very pleasant and rare situation in which we can confidently say we have no complaints. In fact we look forward to continuing our relationship with Steelkiwi and recommending them to fellow startups.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at a financial services organization.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Steelkiwi?

We originally needed help with developing our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Steelkiwi has developed our website. Still, their work has expanded since, and they’ve also been responsible for developing the software platform for the customer-facing side of my business from scratch. Initially, we went through a strategy identification process, after which I provided them with some documentation for how I wanted the site to function.

Among its core features, our site presents our branding, presents information about our company, and handles the collection of loan applications for our customers. Additionally, the site contains a customer portal where users can log in and get account information.

This app operates both on Linux and Microsoft. Still, it also has a mobile app component where users can use their iOS and Android mobile devices to access all the functionalities of the desktop version.

Currently, Steelkiwi is developing additional capabilities and features on the web-based platform to deal with a variety of different services. These features include fleet management, automatic notifications on mobile devices, payment processing, and more.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked directly with the entire team from Steelkiwi.

How did you come to work with Steelkiwi?

Our CEO found them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around April 2020, and the engagement is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Steelkiwi provides us with what we need and works the way we need them to work.

How did Steelkiwi perform from a project management standpoint?

We have a periodic project status meeting throughout the week. I also meet regularly with Steelkiwi to introduce new projects and identify priorities for their work moving forward. Then, their team breaks those priorities down into tasks, and we collaborate on the definitions, confirmations of completion, and validations of said tasks. We use Jira and Slack to manage the project and collaborate, as well as Confluence for document management.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I really like how Steelkiwi functions. They take full ownership of the projects, and they handle them from start to finish. Unlike other organizations that only provide resources for the clients to handle internally, Steelkiwi takes ownership of entire projects and executes them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. Over the last two years, we’ve found areas of improvement. However, we’ve discussed those areas with them, and they’ve addressed them effectively. Whenever something arises, they’re very quick to respond.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of a peer-to-peer ecommerce platform designed for resale and vintage.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Steelkiwi, and what were your goals?

We wanted to develop a mobile app for fast & efficient buying and selling between users.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We used Clutch to find a highly-rated app development company with a large portfolio and experience in this area. After much research, and many calls with varying agencies, we decided on Steelkiwi. Their level of professionalism was top tier, and the questions they’d ask about the project were surprising in their depth and interest.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

As the designer of the project, I required a lot of back and forth with the development team. I was surprised with how quickly they were able to estimate every feature, as well as how detailed they were with why each feature would require the amount of work that it did. Along the way, several changes were requested and they were quick to respond and change what was asked. Most impressively, they put in so much work to integrate an API from PayPal (our payment provider), which required several weeks of in-depth communication, and an eventual meeting to review the app with PayPal engineers for approval.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

A project manager was assigned to the project, who would quickly respond to any update requests, questions, etc. I also worked with members of the development team to provide needed designs, prototypes, etc. And lastly, I worked with their very thurough testers to deliver a bug-free build.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The app was delivered on-time, and with almost zero hiccups. I’ve worked with one other agency in the past, and the level of professionalism Steelkiwi exhibits is above and beyond.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We used Slack and email to communicate regularly, and the occasional Google Meeting to review progress. Their communication skills were the best I’ve seen.

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

The thoroughness with which they code and test was what impressed me most. This was alongside their ability to quickly change what they’re doing to accommodate a new request.

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

I could not have asked for a better development team, and hope to continue working with them on future updates.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a mobile gaming company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Steelkiwi?

We needed help to create a software piece from scratch. The game we were making had not been done before, so it was very challenging figuring out the best way to bring it to market while iterating on the go and breaking into a new wave of gaming.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Steelkiwi has been helping us create the software we need. First, we used iOS native technology, but we then shifted over to Flutter, which allowed us to create the product for iOS and Android. This decision was great because we’ve had great cost savings while being more efficient.

Still, it was important for us to provide a native experience, and Steelkiwi has been able to accomplish that goal in a great way — we really can’t tell the difference. Overall, they’ve provided a lot of good context and experience to help guide us through the process.

What is the team composition?

In total, we’ve worked with around 20 people from Steelkiwi, and most of the time, we’ve had anywhere from 5–10 resources working for us at a time. They have a lot of full-stack and Flutter developers, so it is a full-team effort on their side.

How did you come to work with Steelkiwi?

I found Steelkiwi on Clutch. I did a lot of research, vetted out many companies, and talked to several of them. What made me go to Steelkiwi was that I felt the most comfortable with the promises that they made. They demonstrated great openness and willingness to commit to the project and do what it took to get the job done.

When talking with other developers, I often felt that if something went in a different direction, they wouldn’t be flexible or able to adapt, and they would simply claim the changes as outside of scope. As this was not a fixed-scope type of project, I needed someone that could really adapt on the fly; they would basically become my full-time development team. Steelkiwi gave me that confidence.

I also looked at some of their previous projects, and they showed me other projects that weren’t included in their portfolio, which also gave me comfort. Finally, I got to talk to their developers directly and ask them a lot of questions. They were also very transparent and open, so I was sure that, even though they hadn’t done this type of project before, they would get us there.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent approximately $200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together over three years ago, around 2018, and they’re still working on the project. We are one of their long-term clients.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In terms of the quality and efficiency of the product, we haven’t experienced a lot of issues or bugs, and we’ve had a lot of great feedback from customers and users who play the game. Every time we release an update, the game keeps getting better.

We don’t have any metrics on the game's performance, but we have a 4.9/5 rating on the App Store and over 200 positive reviews from users. This success is attributable to the great work that Steelkiwi has done.

How did Steelkiwi perform from a project management standpoint?

Steelkiwi’s project management is their best asset. They’ve been very helpful, flexible, and agile in changing their model a couple of times to help accommodate what we were trying to do.

I’m in constant communication with a number of people from their team over Slack, and even though there is a time difference between us, they’re always very responsive. Even if it is late at night or a weekend, they go above and beyond to keep me updated — that’s the key.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The rapport and communication that I’ve built with Steelkiwi are impressive. They’ve shown a great ability to adapt their processes to work with us, an American-based customer with a different time zone and a challenging product.

Our communication has been huge, and they’ve been able to step in whenever we’ve needed them to do anything. It’s been a pleasure working with them in that capacity. Additionally, Steelkiwi produces a very solid code, so on the technical side, they’re very strong.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’ve had some challenges, but Steelkiwi has addressed them throughout the project. Initially, they had some design gaps, but we addressed the issue, and they were able to add a designer to their team. They hired him specifically for my project, and so far, this person has been amazing. Honestly, he’s the best designer I’ve worked with.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be very literal and descriptive in what you want. The more you can do upfront, the easier the process will be, and the more you can fit your company into their structure, the easier the work will be. However, the most important aspect of achieving success is open communication and transparency.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an HR Business Partner in Betgames. I am responsible for finding and maintaining good partnerships that could help our company grow with the best specialists in their fields. I take care of the recruitment process in our company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Preezma?

We hired Preezma to help us grow with high-level specialists faster that we are able to do in Lithuania.

SOLUTION

How did you select Preezma and what were the deciding factors?

We made our final decision after a few calls and when Preezma showed that they understand what we expect by delivering high quality specialists very quickly.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We are an international developer and distributor of interactive (LIVE) and innovative gaming products for betting business (B2B). Our games combine traditional betting with popular lotteries and table games and are simple enough for players to easily catch on to the idea. Our services are used by online and land based betting operators worldwide in more than 45 countries.

Preezma's provided specialists join different teams of our IT department and help us deliver the best quality product to our partners.

Describe the recruitment process in detail.

First, we always discuss key requirements that we have for each role. Then, we receive a few profiles and make a decision on who we would like to see in the interviews. First interview is always technical, second more oriented towards soft-skills and then we make a final decision on who we would like to hire and see joining our team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

With their support we are able to feel secure about planning our resources for next year knowing that we have a good partner that understands our needs.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Even though their developers are fully remote they have joined our teams fairly easy. Not all of the hires were successful but overall, they are a great fit to our company, communication is great and it makes us happy that those members are now a part of our organization.

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

They provided really great people in a short period of time. Also, we are happy to have such a flexible partner, who can also suggest solutions in challenging situations.

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

There are not many areas to improve because they already know how to work differently and how to deliver.
