EDTECH DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
Qubit Labs supported CORE’s rapid growth by providing back-end and front-end nearshore development services that added additional development capacity for ongoing technical operations. All specialists demonstrated exceptional flexibility and professionalism.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Top-tier specialists were responsible for UI/UX, creating and maintaining the backend infrastructure for a content ingestion pipeline, overseeing its routine operations, and managing customer communication and support.

DEDICATED TEAM
Qubit Labs built a dedicated team of two front-end dedicated Angular developers, two back-end full-stack PHP developers, and a part-time project manager. We ensured transparent HR processes, covered office space and equipment expenses, delivered competitive service pricing, and managed minimal time zone differences with the UK effortlessly.

“When hiring PHP developers, focus on candidates with robust technical expertise, including mastery of PHP, extensive experience with PHP projects, and a knack for writing clean, efficient code. It’s equally important to look for developers who excel in problem-solving, adaptability, and communication. Additionally, cultural fit is crucial for seamless integration into your team. Qubit Labs offers first-class professionals who meet these high standards and consistently deliver exceptional results.”
– Chief R&D Officer at Qubit Labs
Challenge
Established in 2011, CORE began to grow dramatically and needed additional resources to handle a large amount of data and update the solution.
The company faced a shortage of engineering staff, but due to the high rates of specialists in the UK, it could not afford to hire local experts. Consequently, the company started looking for offshore developers and cooperated with specialists from Argentina for some time. However, the difference in time zones made collaboration difficult, and CORE decided to build a remote team.
Close geographical location, cultural fit, extensive specialist expertise, good communication skills, and attractive rates were strategically important to the company. CORE turned to Qubit Labs, a leading outstaffing company in Eastern Europe, to find the best match. Qubit Labs offers excellent recruiting and outstaffing services, builds dedicated teams, and provides ODC, R&D, and headhunting.
Solution
Qubit Labs’ experienced professionals provided complete control over the candidate selection process. Within days, Qubit Labs provided resumes for client pre-screening, significantly shortening the recruiting process. Throughout the partnership, Qubit Labs managed all aspects of hiring and firing and provided a suitable workspace for the dedicated team. This partnership helped CORE provide their remote team with a smooth and efficient workflow.
