Tech Lead/Frontend Dev recruitment for Dealstack
Dealstack Ltd, a rapidly expanding start-up based in London, sought to fill the role of Tech Leader/Frontend Developer to become a long-term partner in their business. The company's goal is to develop software that streamlines the management of private capital deal flows from start to finish, blending project management, legal technology, and financial technology. They were in search of a Tech Leader/Frontend Developer who would not only join their team but also evolve into a key partner responsible for establishing a developer team in their Polish office and overseeing the company's product by innovating and executing new ideas. The recruitment challenge stemmed from the specific qualifications Dealstack required: they needed a seasoned Senior Frontend Developer with a solid grasp of Backend and DevOps concepts, exceptional management abilities, and a proactive mindset. Additionally, familiarity with the Polish Civil Code, knowledge of the Polish IT landscape, fluent English proficiency, and openness to travel were necessary. After thoughtful deliberation, Dealstack opted to outsource the recruitment to Kingit, a specialist in the field. The process was conducted by two highly experienced recruiters. Within two weeks, they proposed six qualified candidates, leading to two rounds of internal interviews. Following some adjustments recommended by Kingit, three more candidates were presented, one of whom proved to be a perfect fit for the position and was subsequently hired. This candidate quickly demonstrated his compatibility with Dealstack’s needs, setting up the company’s Polish branch after a month and assuming the role of Head of Software Engineering. The successful collaboration has continued ever since.
