Hiring 9 IT experts in 4 months

DB Schenker Technology Center Warsaw's rapid growth required an increase in hiring, but finding employees with rare skills (teams with COBOL technology stacks that are niche in the market) was difficult and the number of available candidates in the market was very limited. The company was looking for a partner who would help recruit 13 IT experts in the fields of frontend, problem management and IT security, and create a completely new team that would be responsible for the problem management area.

Devire's cooperation with the client began in December 2022. They worked together to recruit employees in the IT industry. To meet the needs of the client, Devire dedicated an experienced team of consultants and researchers to the project. Devire was tasked with IT security projects and finding developers, including a specialist in the niche role of Cobol Developer (COBOL) and Frontend Developer. To make the solution more efficient and faster, Devire engaged 3 consultants and researchers to work on this project. Recruitment began with a search for experts based on direct search, Devire's network of contacts, the Jarvis database, a referral system, marketing campaigns, advertisements on industry portals and social media. More than 100 people were contacted throughout the process, of which the most suitable candidate profiles were sent to the client for approval. For security roles, Devire checked the candidate's English level, as the security team solves problems for many DB Schenker locations around the world, requiring fluent communication in English.

Thanks to Devire's process, they were able to effectively and efficiently attract a number of specialists in narrow fields who perfectly matched the client's needs. In the last 4 months, Devire hired 9 IT experts, with another 2 roles currently in the recruitment process. Devire conducted activities to build an attractive employer brand. They successfully completed recruitment for many positions within the allotted time. The cooperation was effective, fast and flexible - Devire always helped solve any needs and challenges posed by the projects and was able to build a positive relationship with candidates through proactivity and positive approach.
