Case Study: Elsewhen Ltd. builds a high-performing backend team in Eastern Europe with DevsData

Elsewhen Ltd hires 9 backend engineers in 2 years with DevsData

Elsewhen Ltd., a London-based digital consultancy, needed to build a specialized, remote backend support team across Eastern Europe to serve its high-profile global clients. The challenge involved sourcing senior engineers with a unique blend of Python, Google Cloud Platform, and systems-thinking skills, all while ensuring they could integrate seamlessly into a remote-first, consulting-grade environment. They partnered with the vendor, DevsData LLC, for their IT recruitment services to address this long-term, staggered hiring need.

DevsData LLC implemented a targeted recruitment strategy focused on Eastern Europe, using a rigorous technical screening process and a wave-based hiring model. Over two years, this approach resulted in the successful placement of nine backend engineers. The solution delivered a high candidate-to-hire ratio and strong retention, with eight of the nine hires staying beyond one year. This allowed Elsewhen Ltd. to reduce bug resolution times by 35% and improve system stability for its clients.
