The project
Bee’s Knees helped Restream, a Ukraine-based company, expand their engineering and product departments to Europe.
The main markets were Estonia and Portugal, but we were not limited, so we were also looking for candidates across the EU. The goal was to find tech people that are heavily invested into the product that they are working on. The major part of sourcing was done via GitHub and software developers communities.
