Case Studies: Practio
Tripling practio's development team in Lisbon
Overview
3
Practio was already present in 3 european cities: Copenhagen, Liverpool and Lisbon. Half of the developers were located in Copenhagen and the team was to be managed as one, along with the new Lisbon tech hub.

We tripled Practio’s development team, hiring 9 developers with a sniper approach.
Fullstack JS
Back in 2017 our market wasn’t ripe with Fullstack Developers with previous experience in Fullstack JS. Most candidates came from .Net, Kotlin, Ruby and Go backgrounds and proved to be great FS Software Engineers.
Our friends at Damia care about who we are, what our mission is and how important it is to find people aligned with our values. After a short while, we had more excellent candidates than positions to fill.
The challenge
When we started working with Practio they were 3 developers in a co-working space near our office. From the beginning we felt a fantastic energy with the team and that they were eager to do more. But since they didn’t have a recruitment team, they lacked the reach to be able to hire more people effectively.
Overcoming the tech stack challenge
Back in 2017, when we started working with Practio, our market wasn’t ripe with Fullstack developers with previous experience in Fullstack JS. As such, we had to implement our first internal process to hire developers with tech agnostic mindset and willing to learn JS, while they would still have to deal with legacy PHP code.
We approached the market with a “sniper” mindset, finding the best candidates who were motivated to learn JS. Most who eventually joined came from .NET, Kotlin, Ruby and Go backgrounds and proved to be great Fullstack JS software engineers.
