Not even the holiday season got in the way
A large B2B marketplace had two Java developers to find - the sooner the better.
With such a pressing request, the company approached GetIT.
"Well, if it’s urgent, then it’s urgent," said our recruiter Tatiana and closed the vacancy in only 12 days.
And this is during the holiday season.
Here’s how it all went down.
"Well, if it’s urgent, then it’s urgent," said our recruiter Tatiana and closed the vacancy in only 12 days.
And this is during the holiday season.
Here’s how it all went down.
What was the request
The marketplace needed to find two Java developers on short notice. It would seem to be a common request. But there were certain aspects that greatly challenged our task:
The advantage was that the company offered relocation to Kazakhstan. This is a pretty strong argument in the reality of 2023.
- The company did not have a full-time DevOps engineer, so the developers had to take part of the engineering tasks on themselves. One of the requirements for candidates was the knowledge of DevOps technologies. This greatly narrowed the funnel as such versatile guys (Java + DevOps) are quite scarce on the market.
- We were looking for developers with at least three years of experience. But the company could not offer a net salary above 200,000 rubles.
- They had been searching themselves before contacting GetIT. We entered a market that was already well-developed, as the core part of the team had already been hired over the previous few months.
The advantage was that the company offered relocation to Kazakhstan. This is a pretty strong argument in the reality of 2023.
We had to find an experienced "universal soldier" who was ready to immediately take on the company’s tasks under these conditions.
The company realized that they would not be able to close the vacancy in short terms themselves, so they turned to us.
April 27. We accepted the application and got to work
Tatiana, a GetIT recruiter, was in charge. On April 27, she accepted the application and that same day she started the initial search:
The action had to be quick, as the holiday season was ahead: many people would go on vacation and the funnel would narrow even more.
The requirements for candidates were gradually supplemented and on May 4 they were finally approved. By then Tatyana had already made a selection of candidates and written the first letters.
- scoured the agency’s candidate database;
- posted a vacancy on social networks;
- posted on job recruitment sites;
- sourced in all possible channels.
