Background
Inspera AS develops an end-to-end SaaS platform that helps set up, offer, execute, mark, and evaluate digital assessments.
The company is based in Norway, with global offices in Scotland and other countries.
Project Recap
-
Hiring engineers and QA testers in Norway and Scotland was slow and costly, holding back Inspera’s projects.
-
Beetroot AB provided a dedicated team of eight developers and two QA testers, plus consultants and end-to-end project teams.
-
New teammates are ready within a couple of months instead of six to twelve, with a success rate on par with local hiring.
Challenge
Inspera needed more engineers and QA testers for both long- and short-term projects. Finding the right people in the countries where it had offices proved challenging, and recruitment often took longer than desired.
Inspera faced several challenges:
- A limited local talent pool for engineering and QA roles
- Hiring that took six months to a year
- The need to optimize development costs

-
Dedicated Developers and QA
A team of eight front-end and back-end developers with AWS, Java, and React expertise, plus two manual QA testers, works within Inspera’s team structure.
-
Hassle-Free Team Management
Beetroot AB handles onboarding, equipment, payroll, and HR, while Inspera manages integration and day-to-day work.
-
End-to-End Consulting Projects
For temporary needs, Beetroot AB delivers projects from specifications, covering infrastructure, development, and operations.
One of the main things that attracted us to Beetroot AB was their operating model. They would handle all the practical aspects, but once the person was hired, they would be practically our employees. It wouldn’t be a pure consultancy model but a dedicated team model where people could feel a connection to our company.
