You've tried job boards. HR is stretched thin. The role is still open. We step in as a direct extension of your hiring function — React, Node, Python, Go, Java, DevOps, Platform — and close what internal teams can't.
Tell me the role. First qualified candidates on your desk in 5 days. No ghost jobs, no AI filler — just shortlists that actually interview.
Start a brief →Active, verified roles at EU and US startups. Every listing confirmed directly with the hiring manager — no recycled briefs.
See open roles →Founder to founder. 20 minutes, no deck, no pitch. Ask anything about the market, the pricing, or how we actually work.
Email Maciej →The market is flooded with AI-generated job posts, recycled listings, and ghost roles that were filled months ago. We don't operate that way. Every role on this site is an active, confirmed mandate — verified directly with the hiring manager. The company details, salary range, process timeline, and team context you see here are real, current, and first-hand.
The definition of a strong engineer has shifted. AI fluency is no longer a nice-to-have — it is becoming a baseline expectation. Teams that can't hire people who understand and work alongside AI tools are already falling behind. Finding those people through job boards or internal HR takes months you don't have.
At the same time, the market is volatile. Budgets change. Headcount freezes happen overnight. A wrong hire — someone who looks right on paper but isn't — can set a team back by a quarter and cost multiples of their salary in lost output, re-hiring, and team morale.
We have been navigating this market since 2017 — through hiring booms, post-COVID compression, the AI shift, and everything in between. We are not here to fill a role and move on. We are here to make sure the right person lands in the right seat — and that it stays that way.
Get your shortlist →16 years in IT recruitment. Specializing in senior engineering roles across React, Node.js, Python, Go, Java, DevOps, and Cloud Architecture — for startups, scale-ups, and enterprise clients in the US, UK, and Europe.
100+ placements. 92% six-month retention rate. Staff augmentation, direct hire, and full team build-outs — from single senior hires to 10-person engineering teams delivered in 7 weeks.
Deep Central European network. Direct access to senior talent across Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, and the wider CEE region. Engineers sourced through personal network, not job boards.
Technical understanding, not keyword matching. Every brief starts with stack analysis, team dynamics, and culture fit assessment. Candidates are screened for technical depth, AI tooling awareness, and communication before they reach your desk.
End-to-end ownership. From initial brief through offer negotiation and onboarding support — one point of contact, full accountability, 6-month replacement guarantee.
Real outcomes from real mandates. Names anonymized, numbers accurate.
10 engineers delivered across frontend, backend, DevOps and platform — all started within a two-week window. 10 out of 10 passed the 6-month mark. Product shipped on schedule.
Candidate sourced from our Central European network in week one, vetted through technical screening and deep reference calls. Started within three weeks. Still leading the platform team one year later.
5 React and Node engineers delivered in 4 weeks. Team ramped in two weeks and shipped the feature on time. Client converted 5 of 8 contractors to permanent hires.
Three engagement models built around how technical teams actually grow — not how agencies prefer to bill.
Senior engineers — including those with hands-on AI tooling experience — join your team, work in your tools, deliver in your sprints. We carry the contracts, payroll and compliance. You get the capability without the fixed cost structure.
Scale up when you need to. Scale back without friction. Full IP transfer, standard — not negotiable.
We slow that process down in the right places. Every profile is someone we've spoken to, assessed, and would defend in the room — not a CV that matched a keyword. We work as an extension of your team, not a supplier hitting a quota.
One success fee upon confirmed employment. You own the relationship from day one.
We run parallel search tracks across all roles simultaneously. A 10-person team delivered for a US client in 7 weeks — BE, FE, DevOps, Platform — sourced, assessed and onboarded as one cohesive unit, not a sequence of individual hires.
We brief once, align on what good looks like across every role, and execute in parallel. One standard. One point of contact.
No black boxes, no radio silence. You know exactly where things stand — and why each decision is being made.
No pitch, no pressure. Share what you're looking for and we'll come back with an honest assessment — whether we've placed this profile before, what the market looks like right now, and how we'd approach it.
5 days from brief, often faster. For common stacks like React, Node.js, Python or Go, we typically deliver the first qualified candidates within 5 business days of receiving the role details.
10% success fee on annual salary OR a €600/month subscription per engineer. No retainers, no upfront costs, no exclusivity required.
6-month free replacement guarantee. If the engineer leaves or doesn't pass the mark within the first 6 months, we find a replacement at no extra cost.
Primarily Poland — Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk and Poznań — plus an active network across the EU (Germany, Spain, Portugal, the UK) and the US.
Yes — around 60% of our clients are Series A or earlier. We specifically enjoy working with founders who are building out their first engineering team and need senior hires fast.
One email per month: market data on developer salaries, hiring trends across Europe, and lessons from 100+ placements. Written by Maciej, not generated by AI.
