The Codest, a Poland-based software engineering company, partnered with Agileday to enhance its global growth and attract top talent. By leveraging Agileday's solution, The Codest can serve clients more efficiently and build processes that take their consultants’ interests into consideration. The platform supports the company's human-centric culture and facilitates seamless collaboration across teams.

Key takeaways:
  • The Codest, a Poland-based company with offices in Warsaw, Krakow, and London, is a house of qualified software engineers extending client’s internal development teams.
  • People are the heart of the company and to ensure their happiness and motivation, the company’s key objective is to provide a motivating work environment that involves and grows the engineers.
  • The company chose Agileday as the tool to support them with their global growth ambition as well as the transition from resource hiring and sourcing to project and value-based sales.
  • With Agileday, The Codest can serve clients faster and better and attract top talent to projects without extra overhead.

The Polish tech industry is rapidly evolving. As local and global clients seek the best talent for ambitious and fast projects, Poland-based companies are constantly seeking innovative ways to stay ahead of the curve. One such company, The Codest, based in Poland, has made significant strides in transforming its clients’ capabilities by helping them extend their tech talent. Specializing in product development and always staying aligned with the customers, requires quick actions but also the best, most motivated talent. This is why The Codest took Agileday into use: to help them be a leader in the eyes of their clients as well as new recruits.

Strengthening customer experience with Agileday’s solution

Currently, The Codest houses over 40 talented individuals but harbors ambitious aspirations to expand its reach globally. During its journey, it has already worked with several partners in over 15 countries and learned that to compete, companies need to be able to act fast and showcase their unique capabilities.

At The Codest, this uniqueness lies in how their teams are able to extend customers’ development units, especially related to product development and take ownership of it alongside the customer. With Agileday, the company can strengthen this competence by moving from simple CV sales to fully embracing the holistic approach of selling solutions with the best possible teams. By providing full-visibility to the skills, availability, and past projects, The Codest can respond quicker to opportunities and position itself as the frontrunner it is.

Greg Polec, CEO and Co-Founder of The Codest, elaborates this shift, stating, “Agileday is instrumental for our growth. It combines all the needed tools in one and helps transform our business from purely sourcing to project-based business.”

Scaling the operations, people first

To be the best possible partner for its customers, The Codest understands that it is the professionals who are the true heart and soul of the business. To find the best tech talent in a developing market like Poland is not easy, and that’s why developing the culture and work environment to be the best is critical. To support the strong human-centric culture and talent attrition, Agileday emerged as a valuable partner in supporting The Codest’s people development.

“People are the most important part of our company and Agileday represents an incredible solution that takes our operations to the next level. It allows us to give space and freedom to our consultants to choose their projects and bring new ideas for everyone to see”, states Ewa Szcozodrak, Talent Acquisition Lead.

Agileday sets The Codest apart from others by placing talents’ needs and interests in the middle. The platform sheds light to all new cases and projects and people themselves can indicate which project they would like to take part in, supporting their development wishes as well as the company’s learning mentality.
These functionalities will be even more important as the company prepares to scale its operations globally. Agileday's software equips them with the necessary tools and methodologies to effectively manage a larger workforce and maintain their high tech standards.

"With Agileday we can create an environment where people work together and can support each other. This is important in our preparation to scale our operations globally," explains Greg.
