IT Recruitment Success for Travelplanet in Wrocław

Challenge

Travelplanet struggled to attract qualified candidates through their own website and paid job portals, particularly for highly specialized IT roles such as Scala, Golang, and Java developers. The narrow talent pool and the complexity of the skills required made recruitment a significant challenge.

Solution

Starting in February 2022, a tailored recruitment approach was implemented focusing on:

• Understanding Travelplanet’s specific technical requirements and project needs.

• Targeted sourcing and screening of candidates with niche expertise, especially in Scala programming—a language known for its steep learning curve.

• Presenting a carefully vetted shortlist of 7 candidates for the key Scala Developer and Scala Tech Lead positions.

• Maintaining clear and proactive communication with the client throughout the process to ensure alignment and swift decision-making.

Outcome

• Successfully filled 2 critical Scala roles despite the rarity of qualified candidates.

• Delivered an efficient and professional recruitment experience characterized by responsiveness and transparency.

• Built a trusted partnership recognized for competence and the ability to meet challenging hiring needs in the IT sector.

Client Feedback (Translated)

“We began cooperation in February 2022 seeking a recruitment partner familiar with the local job market who could help us fill specialized IT roles. Our own recruitment channels were not delivering results. From the start, the process was handled flexibly and with individual attention. After reviewing 7 candidates for Scala positions, we successfully hired 2. Communication was smooth and professional throughout. We consider the recruitment partner competent and effective and look forward to future collaboration.”
