One of the pillars of modern recruitment strategies is the recent trend to combine the seemingly impossible process automation and the human 2 human candidate experience. This is especially true in IT, where talent pool is shrinking dramatically. From the first contact with a candidate, through the entire recruitment process, a properly designed candidate experience is what lets both sides make a well-informed decision on whether they’ll be a good professional match.

A few months back I had the opportunity to be a part of a project in which the goal was to design an app helping surgeons perform operations. The app was unique in that it adopted the rigid checks and procedures used in military aviation.

It’s only natural that you want your product to be a roaring success. It is also understandable that you want to build it in the most cost-effective way possible. But, saving money by cutting back on product designers could actually prove to be a false economy in the long run. 

What even is UX writing?, you might ask. Well, imagine if you were a copywriter, but your job was, for the most part, disconnected from trying to sell the product. Instead, you’re responsible for making the product communicate its capabilities on its own, as clearly as possible.

Do you know this proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” What if you decide to go far and fast... together? This is what we experience here at Netguru. We know that we are strong only as a close-knit team. We must go together. Besides, the more the merrier. We want to reach ambitious goals rather than rest on our laurels. We want to go far. Finally, we know that we can go far as a team only if we quickly react to market trends. We have to move fast in a truly Agile way. Under such circumstances, we must constantly make sure that we are all on the same page. How do we do that? The answer is simple: knowledge sharing.

Reliability, performance and security are huge factors to consider when developing a product online.  They can determine the success or failure of your app – what good is all that app development just for it to get knocked offline? With challenges growing in complexity software development brings with it new demands.  What is an SRE and what value do they bring to a software development project?

To thrive in an increasingly competitive business environment, it is vital that you make your company as agile and flexible as possible. You need to be able to spot opportunities and pain points in the market and react to them before your rivals. 

Great news, Netguru is getting bigger again! 💪 We’re joining forces with 7ninjas, an agency specialized in custom software development.

Making sure your teams works like a well-oiled machine is no easy task. That said, it’s a task you should be committed to throughout the project to make sure the efficiency is maintained, instead of only achieving it temporarily. Maintaining the efficiency of our teams is one of the most important roles of a Project Manager in Netguru. While we tend to it in every project, there is no universal recipe for it, as each of our team setups is unique.
