- adjustment to the work of the client’s time zone;
- full-scale involvement, and an initiative to find solutions to help speed up the development process and optimize resources for other projects;
- long-term cooperation with an ambition to the subsequent involvement of the team in other projects;
- conditions to guarantee top-notch monitoring of team performance on projects.
Solution:
The Modsen team provided a wide selection of specialists with the necessary competence in the required tech stack and carried out interviews to fill each position in the client’s team.
Within a couple of days, we formed an external team and offered the client a free trial period of 15 days to make sure of the quality of their choice.
Modsen has provided:
- 9 senior-level developers on the React, React-Native, Node JS, PHP, and WordPress tech stack;
