How one partnership built an e-commerce powerhouse

 Your success story starts here

Are you thinking about extending your development team abroad but have no clue where to start?

I have a solution for you.
Dominika Gajek

My expertise is best exemplified by a partnership with a US-based e-commerce company (from Georgia). Let me walk you through this success story – so you can see if it fits your business goals.

I’m giving you a straightforward, step-by-step manual on how to build a world-class IT team in Poland – without the overhead and complexities of setting up an offshore entity or the burden of running an international recruitment process. 

I offer a proven, end-to-end solution that delivers top-tier talent, allowing you to focus on your core business while I manage the entire hiring journey.

01.

Expertise

Having previously collaborated with the company’s CTO, in April 2024 I suggested that I could build their entire IT team in Poland from the ground up for the new company he had just joined. 

02.

Objective

The objective we defined together was clear:

  • A highly engaged, responsible, and autonomous senior team that would seamlessly integrate with their US counterparts, ensuring strong communication and cultural alignment
  • 4 hours of daily overlap
  • Senior Developers with 8+ years of experience who would take ownership and act proactively
  • Obviously, they also had to be highly talented, capable – and financially competitive

03.

A refined four-step recruitment process

To meet these exacting standards, I proposed and implemented a refined four-step recruitment process:

  • My extensive screening of the Polish IT market to identify the best-fit candidates
  • 1-hour interview with the CTO for the top-ranked candidates
  • 1-hour technical team interview
  • 30–60 minute session with the Product Owner

04.

Benefits

This streamlined process delivers significant benefits:

  • Comprehensive Assessment: Candidates gain diverse insights into the company culture and team dynamics, ensuring a mutual fit.
  • Collaborative Decision-Making: Feedback from multiple stakeholders leads to well-rounded, team-endorsed hiring decisions.
  • Optimized Scheduling: With direct access to team calendars, I efficiently schedule interviews via Google Meet, ensuring smooth logistics and no technical issues.
  • Accelerated Hiring: This structure typically enables us to close roles within 2–3 weeks, significantly reducing time-to-hire.

Success

This approach worked so well that by fall 2024, we had built a complete development team, contributing significantly to the company’s core products.

When you partner with me, you gain more than a recruiter

My commitment goes far beyond sourcing candidates.

I successfully hired 3 Senior Magento Developers who, within four months, became a key front-end asset - even earning recognition from the CEO for their contributions to the platform.

I recruited a QA Lead now leading the company’s automation efforts, praised by the CTO for his ownership and quality of work.

I filled the Senior DevOps Lead role - this individual now drives automation and deployment initiatives at the company level.

I sourced and hired a replacement for a departing US-based IT Architect, placing a senior Polish Architect who now leads architecture across the company’s portfolio.

To complete the team, I brought on 3 Senior Fullstack Developers (Node.js + React.js) who have been successfully implementing new platform features.

A trusted partner

Execution creates value.

I meticulously manage the full recruitment cycle: from scheduling interviews and supporting candidates, to advising on compensation, handling contract review and dispatch, and coordinating onboarding and access setup. 

I serve as a constant point of contact for both client and candidate, ensuring a smooth and professional experience at every step.

This dedication creates a strong sense of support and value from day one – fostering loyalty, engagement, and long-term success.

You gain a trusted partner and expert who builds your development organization in Poland - while you stay focused on your core business, supported by some of the best engineers the Polish IT market has to offer.
