Background

Our client is a Swedish SaaS company in the HR industry that builds software to measure employee engagement and well-being.

Like many tech companies in Sweden, it struggled to find skilled developers locally, with hiring taking up to six months and high employment costs in the Nordics.

Project Recap

  • Long hiring processes and high employment costs in Sweden pushed the client to look for faster, cost-effective nearshore recruitment.

  • Beetroot quickly recruited skilled Ukrainian developers who integrated well into the client’s workflows and culture.

  • Up to 40% savings on hiring costs, high-quality delivery, and a team aligned with the client’s long-term goals.

Challenge

The client needed to grow its tech team, but hiring in Sweden could take up to six months, and employment costs in the Nordics were high. It needed a quicker, cost-effective solution without compromising on quality.

The client faced several challenges:

  • Slow local hiring of skilled developers
  • High employment costs in the Nordics
  • Finding developers who fit its culture and workflows

Solution: Dedicated .NET and React Team in Ukraine

After a few initial conversations to understand the client’s needs, Beetroot proposed recruiting developers from Ukraine. We hired the first two developers quickly and later grew the team to five. The cooperation started in January 2018 and keeps growing.

  • Fast Recruitment

    The first developers joined within a short timeframe, far faster than local hiring allowed.

  • Balanced Team

    Three back-end (.NET) and two front-end (React/React Native) developers work closely with the client’s in-house teams.

  • Cultural Fit

    A strong focus on soft skills and cultural fit helps the developers integrate smoothly with the internal tech team.

I’m impressed by Beetroot AB’s ability to find skilled candidates, even though the market has been challenging at some points of our engagement. During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Beetroot AB helped relocate their employees and ensured they had access to an internet connection.
