Background

Coly is a Sweden-based SaaS company developing a platform for the shared living industry, including student housing, senior housing, and other marketplaces.

Its matching engine turns a psychometric test into a tenant profile that can be shared with landlords, then uses this data to match compatible groups of roommates.

Project Recap

  • As a startup, Coly couldn’t employ developers locally and wanted a partner offering a hybrid model of local and offshore staff.

  • Beetroot AB shortlisted and interviewed candidates within hours, forming a dedicated team that later grew from two to three developers.

  • A tenant matching engine delivered with high-quality work, smooth workflow, and open communication, despite unforeseen challenges.

Challenge

Coly needed to build its product quickly but, as a startup, didn’t have the resources to hire development staff locally. The company was looking for a local partner that could offer a hybrid model with both local and offshore specialists.

Coly faced several challenges:

  • Limited resources to hire developers in Sweden
  • The need for a reliable partner with local presence and offshore talent
  • Building a complex matching engine from the ground up

Solution: Dedicated Developers for a Tenant Matching Engine

Coly found Beetroot AB through a trusted referral and engaged the company to supply software developers, starting with one senior and one middle–junior developer to build the team’s foundation.

  • Precise Candidate Matching

    Beetroot AB studied Coly’s requirements for core competencies, experience, and skills, and shortlisted the best-matching candidates.

  • Fast, Two-Step Selection

    Two rounds of interviews tested each candidate’s competencies, helping Coly choose the right developers quickly.

  • A Team That Grows with the Product

    The developers built Coly’s tenant matching engine, and the team later grew to three as the client added another specialist.

As a startup, we have a lot going on; being able to lean on Beetroot AB as a trusted partner has been nice. They’ve identified candidates and set up interviews in a matter of hours, which has helped us.
