It’s a myth that’s causing companies to overlook a wealth of untapped potential.

Having witnessed countless companies chase after the top developers, I know all too well the burnout and team disintegration that often follows.

Instead, companies should focus on building diverse and balanced teams that foster collaboration, professional growth, and open communication.

I’ve realized that the actual key to unlocking unrivaled software quality lies in nurturing a culture of constant learning and innovation, rather than simply hiring the ‘best’ talent.

Hiring the Top Software Development Talent

Our Hiring Process, Step by Step

1. Screening Applications

Each year, we carefully review a massive pool of applications. Utilizing a sophisticated algorithmic system, we match each candidate to the most suitable current or future openings. This first step marks the beginning of our stringent recruitment process—a journey that only the top competent, experienced and skilled of candidates will successfully complete.

2. Online Assessments

Once candidates are identified for a specific role, they are automatically assigned a series of online tests tailored to their skill sets. These tests include mandatory English and IQ assessments. We employ different tests, depending on the candidate’s role and experience. For instance, a Java Developer must undergo evaluations in Java, Object-Oriented Programming, SQL, Algorithms, Front End, Back End, Advanced IQ, English, and other relevant areas depending on the position.

3. HR Interview

Candidates who pass the initial exams move on to interviews with our HR team. These interviews assess not only the candidates’ experience but also their communication skills, commitment, and whether their personality aligns with our company culture and client needs.
