Answers without the corporate jargon
We've collected the questions most often asked by CTOs and technology company owners in Wroclaw. Short, specific, and without sugarcoating.
Do you only work with companies from Wroclaw?
Our office is located at 18 Świdnicka St., but since September 2016 we have already served 143 companies from all over Poland. Exactly 74.6% of our workshops and consultations are conducted remotely. This saves your managers' time and allows us to efficiently manage projects in Krakow or Warsaw without unnecessary travel costs.
How quickly can we start the first project?
Marek Sadowski replies to inquiries in an average of 2h 45min. If we agree on the scope, we usually start an audit or leadership workshops within 11 business days of signing the agreements. We don't like queues, so we plan work in advance to deliver results on time.
Why don't you have fixed price lists on the site?
Every software house has a different stack, culture, and problems. We price specific sprints after a 20-minute exploratory call. Transparency is important to us, so we provide estimated costs (e.g., 12,400 PLN for a KPI system) at the start so you know if we fit your budget.
Won't developers rebel against KPIs?
They will rebel against stupid metrics. We implement KPIs tailored to code that seniors respect because they are fair and measurable. We focus on 4 key delivery indicators that realistically show contribution to a project, not just the number of hours spent in front of a monitor.
What does a culture audit look like in practice?
These are not boring surveys that no one fills out. We conduct 12 honest, anonymous interviews with key people in the team. We analyze reasons for departures over the last 14 months. In 7 business days, you get a 14-page report with a list of errors and a specific plan on what to fix so people stop fleeing to the competition.
How long does it really take to implement a metrics system?
We wrap up the full process in 19 business days. This includes analyzing current processes, workshops with leaders, and setting up reporting tools. After this time, the system works independently, and you have clear insight into how your development department is working.
Why does finding a candidate take you 23 days?
Because we don't bulk-send CVs from LinkedIn. Every candidate undergoes verification for soft skills and fit for your work culture. We look for engineers who will stay with you for years, not just for the probation period. Statistics show that after our recruitments, turnover falls by 24.3%.
What positions do you recruit for most often?
We focus on roles that have the greatest impact on project stability: Senior Developers, DevOps, Tech Leads, and CTOs. We also help build entire teams from scratch for startups and cloud projects. Recently, for one client, we found 9 key engineers in just 47 days.
Do you do technical recruitment?
Yes, we collaborate with experienced mentors who check code and architectural knowledge. However, our greatest strength is sifting out people who are technically great but would ruin the atmosphere in your team. We bet on teams that deliver, not on lone stars.
