When we started our cooperation with Accounto for the first time, the client was focused on onboarding the new people as soon as possible, as well as validating and introducing improvements to the product.
What helped us achieve that goal were the proper style of job postings as well as the emphasis on the undoubted value of the offer, such as:
- otwarta komunikacja dotycząca wynagrodzenia,
- 100% remote work and fully flexible working hours (which in 2019 were not the norm on the market!),
- working in an international financial start-up (Switzerland-based team).
Our cooperation began in May 2019, and by June of that year the client decided to hire the first candidates we sent. We finished the entire process in July - in less than 2 months, we have filled all the roles for the Accounto team!
When Accounto returned to us in 2022 with further recruitment needs, we already had Marta in mind for the cooperation - the recruiter who took care of their project back in the day. Since Marta already knew the client’s needs and team perfectly, we were able to start activities for new roles faster and more efficiently.
After 3 years, Accounto came back to us with the need to find a few more Ruby Developers and - interestingly - a Product Owner (soft roles are completely different than technical, but we also work on those :)) It was nice to discover that even after these few years, some of the people I have helped in hiring are still working there, and even more - they are developing within the organization or are currently participating in the recruitment process from the other side (e.g. conducting technical meetings)!

At one point in time, we discovered the need to expand the process with new stages and additional stakeholders. Interestingly, both changes streamlined the already-efficient process due to a clearer division of tasks and responsibilities!
The recruitment process in the RF/SF model for Accounto was as follows:
- Pre-interview with Bee Talents (30 minutes) - Marta pre-checked candidates’ experience
- Business conversation (30 minutes) with Accounto - Diane (People Development & HR Manager) verified the fit of candidates to the organization more thoroughly
- Technical interview with the CTO and Back-End Tech Lead from the Accounto team - they focused on verifying programming skills
- Demo day - a paid day, thanks to which candidates could get to know the Accounto team better (and vice versa)
- Offer presentation
One of the key process improvements was the access to the CTO’s calendar! Easily-accessible source of information about the availability of decision-makers had a direct impact on the efficient course of recruitment.

Accounto is not only one of our satisfied, but above all - returning customers!
In total, we hired 8 people for Accounto for 4 different roles:
- Senior Angular Developer,
- Senior Ruby on Rails Developer,
- Ruby on Rails Engineer,
- Senior Product Owner.
More trivia from the process(es):
- Senior Angular Engineer: 3 out of 5 candidates sent in 2019 were hired!
- Senior Ruby on Rails Developer: we hired 2 people in a month!
- Ruby on Rails Engineer: RR (candidate response rate, i.e. the response rate to messages sent by our recruiters) was almost 52%
- Senior Product Owner: we invited 23 candidates to the process, and the offer was presented (and accepted!) after only a month!
It is also worth mentioning that one of the developers we hired in 2019 developed into Back-End Tech Lead and in 2022 we met him again, this time as a stakeholder in the recruitment process, and hired new people together!
Cooperation with Bee Talents has brought us effective and efficient recruitment processes, despite the challenges related to the limited pool of candidates on the market. Regular reports and detailed statistics ensured transparency and the ability to monitor progress on an ongoing basis, and their understanding and flexibility towards our needs contributed to filling all open roles in our organization.
