FAQ
Frequently asked
questions
What is tech recruitment and how does it differ from general recruitment?
Technical recruitment is the process of sourcing, evaluating, and hiring professionals for software and other technical roles such as engineers, architects, DevOps specialists, and data experts.
It differs from general recruitment because it requires a strong understanding of technology and engineering skills. Beyond CV screening, tech recruiters must assess real technical capability, understand role-specific requirements, and accurately evaluate how a candidate fits into a team, product, and architecture context.
How quickly can you deliver the first candidate profiles?
In most cases, our technology recruitment agency delivers the first shortlisted profiles within 3-5 business days after the initial briefing call. For highly specialized roles like eBPF, cybersecurity or game development specialists this may take 5-7 business days.
What roles do you specialize in?
We recruit across software engineering, DevOps, data, AI/ML, QA, cybersecurity, game development, UX/UI, product management, and technical leadership roles. Our team has particularly strong experience supporting hiring in cybersecurity, AI, and game development.
Can you find rare or niche tech specialists?
Yes. Our tech recruiters can source niche tech specialists such as security researchers, eBPF engineers, Linux and Kernel developers, GRC experts, game engine developers, and other hard-to-find technical specialists through our network, community partnerships, and direct sourcing efforts.
Do you provide technical screening or is that my team's job?
Technical screening is available as part of our tech recruitment services when required. This helps hiring teams spend less time on early-stage qualification and focus on evaluating the strongest candidates.
How many CVs will you send us?
Our tech recruiters don't send large volumes of CVs. Instead, you get curated candidate profiles along with assessment notes, expected salary range, and our recommendation for each candidate.
Do you recruit for companies outside Poland?
Yes. We support customers across the US, UK, Israel, and Europe with IT recruitment in Poland, whether for individual roles or scaling technical teams.
What's the difference between tech recruitment and your offshore development center service?
Tech recruitment focuses on individual hires, where we find and present candidates for specific roles that you hire directly. Offshore development center services goes further: we build and manage entire engineering teams, including HR, payroll, office setup, legal, and long-term retention.
Can I convert to an ODC arrangement after recruitment?
Yes. Many customers start with 1-2 direct hires and later move into a fully managed ODC model as their team in Poland grows.
