Senior Java Developer selection for a Russian company in 4 weeks

One of the candidates celebrates the successful acceptance of the offer.

The Russian IT market is faced with a new problem: the recruitment of qualified specialists. Due to economic instability and changes in global policy, the availability of highly qualified IT specialists in local markets has significantly decreased. This has forced companies to look for talent not only within the country but also abroad, increasing the demand for specialists who are willing to work remotely.

In just 4 weeks, our IT recruiter found Senior JavaDeveloper for a Russian fintech company. The whole process, from posting a job to the candidate's first working day, took just that long. Would you like to know how we did it? Read on.

Challenge

A Russian fintech company that develops modern solutions for online banking contacted us with a request to find an experienced Java developer. The main tasks included developing new features and optimizing current services.

Difficulties encountered

Despite the popularity of the Java developer profession, several factors made it difficult to find the right candidate:

  • Competition for specialists
    The high demand for Java developers (especially fintech) on the Russian market created fierce competition among employers.
  • The lengthy process of hiring a candidate
    The process of selecting a specialist included 3 stages of interviewing, and as you know, protracted processes can scare off candidates who are actively looking.
  • Professional experience
    A candidate with experience in the financial sector was needed, which narrowed down the pool of potential candidates.

Recruitment process

The company offered good conditions: remote work, competitive salaries and the opportunity to participate in innovative projects. Having realized that we could successfully fill the vacancy, we got to work.

After analyzing the market and recruitment conditions, we realized that the client was good at processing the main resources for finding qualified developers (hh, habr, linkedin, etc.). To search for candidates, we decided to use our extensive database of candidates collected over the years. As a result, we found several candidates, five of whom passed the final selection, and one was offered.

The results of our work

The candidate found was a strong Java developer with extensive experience in large fintech companies. He was looking for opportunities for professional growth and new challenges, which perfectly matched the requirements of the vacancy.

Remote work, the scope of tasks and the prospect of working in an innovative environment played a key role in attracting a candidate, and our experienced recruiter created a communication atmosphere in which the candidate did not pay attention to other proposals and was fully focused on our project. The combination of these factors led to the rapid closure of the position.

Finding an experienced FinTech Java developer might seem like a daunting task, but we at Invista completed the challenge in just three weeks.

This case demonstrates our ability to effectively and quickly find highly qualified IT specialists, even in a difficult market and specific requirements. Invista is ready to help your business find the best talent to achieve high results.
