"My company was looking for talented software engineers with broad expertise. It was challenging to find the right people, but with Jacek's help we found just the right ones! His approach was very flexible. When looking for candidates he prioritized what was important for us. He also made sure to find candidates that matched the company's culture and therefore will not seek to change jobs quickly after joining. And most importantly he was quick! We scheduled the technical interviews with some (good!) candidates just a week after he started his search. I have only gratitude for him and whole-heartedly recommend his services!"

Business need

Coinmetro is a globally ambitious fintech building a new standard in finance. They are a traditional financial institution that understands the complexities and benefits of blockchain, crypto, and the growing community that supports them.

Again thanks to our great network of candidates we have reached out to this one perfect specialist, that we knew would be interested in this kind of opportunity. And well.... It was a match!

  • 2 weeks to hire the perfect candidate
  • Once again the first presented candidate got hired by our client
  • 1 hour to find the right candidate
