Roles filled
We supported them on three strategic hires:
- 2 Angular Front-End engineers (1 Lead, 1 Expert)
- 1 Java / C developer
Objectives
Modernize the interface and strengthen the team with talent capable of bringing fresh momentum to their working methods.
Recruitment challenges
- A very broad tech stack (from legacy to current technologies)
- Technically qualified candidates who were reluctant about commuting to Montrouge, despite two days of remote work.
- Specific to the 2 Lead Angular Front-End hires:
- Proven expertise
- Ability to handle migrating a thick-client application to a thin-client one
- Specific to the Java / C developer hire:
- A highly demanding environment where the developer would touch everything (low-level dev, third-party integrations, cloud) and be comfortable with native Java and C components.
The secret to these hires?
Targeting candidates with a sharp focus on the Angular expertise Absyss was looking for.
Persistence.
Especially on the Java hire, one of the longest searches we've ever run: 8 months to find the right person.
Because we knew it required the right mix of technical skills and buy-in to the project, and we didn't give up until we found it.
