Challenge: Recruiting a Ruby on Rails developer from Estonia
Due to growing development needs, Skyltmax decided to hire an experienced Ruby on Rails developer, located in Estonia. The main challenge was to find a candidate who meets the specified technological requirements and at the same time is a good fit with the company’s organizational culture – in a relatively short period of time.
Skyltmax was looking for a recruitment partner with experience in the Estonian market and a proven network of contacts in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. After analyzing the offers available online, the choice fell on Talent Place – a company known for its high ratings, flexibility and tailored cost model.
Quick and effective sourcing process
The recruitment project lasted just two months – from April to May 2025 – and included comprehensive sourcing and pre-selection support for candidates.
Talent Place’s scope of activities included:
- Detailed briefing with the client at the beginning of the cooperation
- Precise definition of the profile of the desired candidate
- Direct sourcing in the Estonian market
- Pre-verification and pre-selection of candidates
- Presentation of candidates with summaries and recommendations
- Coordinate contact and meetings between parties
- Constant progress reporting and transparent communication
The Talent Place team consisted of two recruiters. Thanks to their experience and local knowledge, Skyltmax received its first recommendation just two weeks after the project began. A total of four candidates were presented – but it was the first one who proved to be a perfect match and was ultimately hired.
Results: Recruitment success in less than 6 weeks
A key result was the rapid hiring of a Ruby on Rails developer from Estonia who met all technical and organizational requirements.
The project’s major successes include:
- 4 verified candidates within a month
- Process completed with hiring the very first recommended candidate
- Maintain full transparency, timeliness and a high level of communication.
- No need to reopen recruitment
