Key Feature
Main Task
The goal was to find a Java/Kotlin Software Engineer ready to relocate to London and work in a lean, high-tech startup environment with a heavy focus on AI.
Who We Were Looking For
- Hardcore Java/Kotlin skills.
- Openness to diverse technologies and AI tooling with a smart, practical approach to implementation.
- A "hands-on" mentality: the ability to dive into any task and find a solution.
- Understanding of the specific dynamics of a small, high-skill startup team.
- Readiness to relocate to London.
Challenges
The profile required a rare mix of traits: deep technical expertise in Java/Kotlin combined with an openness to AI and new tools, all wrapped in a "startup mindset" – the ability to perform without pre-made solutions or established processes. Additionally, the London relocation requirement naturally narrowed the candidate pool.
Our solution
Having worked with the founder before, we had a clear grasp of his thinking and exactly who he wanted on the team. This allowed us to aim accurately from the start and look for a specific person who fit a specific vision.
The founder worked closely with us on the product pitch and stayed in constant contact, which significantly accelerated the timeline. We presented the candidate on Friday, they spoke on Saturday, and the offer was extended on Monday. We even helped adjust the equity (stock options) portion of the package to suit the candidate, and the deal was closed.
