The Success Story
The success story of Packhelp was just around the corner and the time became one of the most important factors in the process. They couldn’t just hire any new developers at that speed of growing.
Pagepro, on the other hand, is famous for having well-developed recruitment, interview, and qualification processes, so they could provide talented people in a short time.
After a quick technical introduction, our developers Kuba and Joanna, jumped in and extended Packhelp front-end team capacity.
Both were working on components made for the new Packhelp branding, and found a fit for themselves in a big team of highly specialized experts from Packhelp.
As an outcome, Pagepro helped Packhelp arrive on the market with their product on time and continue working together as an extension of their development team.

Testimonial:
Working with Pagepro is unique because of their developers who quickly become part of the core team. Despite working remotely, it feels as if they were somewhere in the office. Unlike other dev houses, the devs assigned to your team have only one goal - to contribute to your team, something you can immediately tell. No nasty surprises or side projects. Uniquely serious approach.
