It was quite challenging to find a Team Lead Frontend Developer for the Yandex.Mail team. We worked on this vacancy for >5 months because the bar for hard (experience with Vanilla JavaScript: Promises, async, closures, and algorithms: complexity assessment, edge cases) and soft skills was high. Nevertheless, we managed to close it 3 months later.
The client was so impressed with our speed and efficiency that they gave us an additional Senior Node.js Developer vacancy. It was filled in 1 month.
We think of clients as friends; that's why, we help them not only with the hiring process, but also with the corporate training of recruiters. Learn more about this in the review left by Daria Karlova, IT recruitment Team Lead at Yandex Practicum in the Client Reviews.
