Talent Alpha – Quest for IT genome

As a decade-and-a-half old software development company, Able has crossed paths with many leaders in their one respective niches. These days we are occupied with finding disruptive-driven people who intend to reshape the future. Our goal is to connect and help them bring their visions to life.

This is the story of two entities sharing the same values, passion for technology and above all else – the story of a friendship between two distant countries in the making.

Talent Alpha from Krakow-Poland is a tech-talent discovery SaaS. If you haven’t heard of them so far, then you haven’t been paying attention. TA is rocking the tech world in the last two years and taking startup competitions and worldwide scenes, big or small, by the storm.

Our first encounter was at the Web Summit in Lisbon, a couple of years back when Batric met Przemek. The rest is easy. Marko and Gosia clicked right away and that’s how we got to tell this one.

Able got the task of developing, testing and producing TA’s official website. Our main challenge was the short deadline, because TA had an important milestone to celebrate, so we had to use some extra gears to pick up the speed. Luckily (maybe not so for our devs) there is overtime and there are weekends. So… You get the picture. On the other hand, TA people, Natalia especially, were so elaborate with their requests and they had design in place already. So, we “just” put two and two together.

Szymon Niemczura, co-founder of Talent Alpha says:

“Able is Talent Alpha’s partner and we’ve chosen them compared to other CEE companies we have in our database. Their experience and offering are very attractive.”

In line with Szymon’s opinion, we chose two very attractive WordPress developers. One senior and one medior. And the main person from our side was, of course, our ultimate gem – Milica, scrum master.

“Communication with TA people was right on point. We’ve had all the info we needed straight away. That’s one of the reasons we managed to do the job on time.”, she says and bears a slight PA smile because she wanted more days to dedicate to the project.

Ultimately, our team used a custom WordPress theme with Gutenberg live editor editing capabilities. Bootstrap was our weapon of choice regarding CSS frameworks, with all its SASS modules.

Natalia and Milica are unanimous: this is the kind of project you want to be involved with. It’s not everyday that you come across someone on the other side who understands you as well as you understand them. The communication was just flawless. “We are very much satisfied with the outcome because, first of all – they listened and understood our requirements so we can manage our website efficiently. The quality of the work was very high and it was done in a short amount of time, to match out deadlines.”, says Natalia.

Our friendship continues to the day. We hear from each other on a weekly basis. Truly. We even endorse one another on LinkedIn. :D

As noted in the prologue – this is a relationship likely to continue. Why? Let the people speak:

“I would recommend Able because they are not afraid of challenges, they are hard working and have a very positive approach to projects.”

“It’s a relief when you work with professionals who know exactly what they want. I hope to work with the Talent Alpha team again soon, ’cause they are a breath of fresh air.” Milica, Able
