With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itera.com\/en\/investor-relations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">725<\/a> employees and <a href=\"https:\/\/8054464.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net\/hubfs\/8054464\/Investor\/Annual%20reports\/2024\/Itera_Annual_Report_2024%20(1).pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">USD 85.2 million<\/a> in revenue in 2024, Itera delivers scalable digital solutions to sectors such as finance, energy, healthcare, and public services.<\/p>\n<p>A key part of Itera\u2019s model is nearshoring, combining local client-facing teams with specialists in Eastern Europe to ensure flexibility, speed, and cost-efficiency. The company builds distributed delivery teams that blend software development, business consulting, and design expertise. As their projects scale, maintaining access to highly qualified, certified IT professionals, especially within the Microsoft ecosystem, is critical to their continued success.<\/p>\n<h3>Highlights:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>IT outsourcing and consulting company with clients across the Nordics and Central Europe.<\/li>\n<li>725 employees and USD 85.2 million in revenue in 2024.<\/li>\n<li>Strong demand for certified Microsoft Dynamics and Power BI Platform experts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Challenges: specialized requirements, fast turnaround<\/h2>\n<p>As Itera continued to grow its presence across the Nordics and Central Europe, the need for certified Microsoft Dynamics and Power Platform experts became urgent. These roles were not just support functions; they were central to client delivery and long-term strategic projects. Itera required individuals with both deep technical knowledge and the ability to thrive in distributed, agile team environments serving enterprise clients.<\/p>\n<p>The recruitment process was made more complex by the dual expectation of speed and precision. Itera sought five highly qualified professionals in a short timeframe, with strict requirements around Microsoft certifications, particularly Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Functional Consultant Associate, Power Platform App Maker Associate, and Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate. Candidates also needed proven experience working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (especially Finance &#038; Operations and Sales modules), Power Apps, Power BI, and Azure integrations. In addition, prior consulting experience and familiarity with European business environments were critical for success.<\/p>\n<p>Although Itera maintained an internal talent acquisition function, previous attempts to source these specialists in-house had failed to yield suitable candidates within the desired timeline. The niche expertise and certification requirements significantly limited the talent pool, and earlier outreach efforts, both direct and through generic job boards, proved ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, this was Itera\u2019s first collaboration with DevsData LLC, meaning expectations were high. We had to demonstrate our capability from day one, not only by delivering qualified candidates, but by aligning closely with Itera\u2019s internal hiring workflows and communication style. Building trust quickly while delivering at scale was one of the defining challenges of this engagement.<\/p>\n<h2>Goals<\/h2>\n<p>Itera aimed to quickly expand its Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power BI teams with experts experienced in modules like Finance &#038; Operations, Customer Engagement, and advanced Power BI dashboarding, including DAX and data pipeline integrations. These hires were expected to integrate seamlessly into existing distributed teams and deliver results from day one, often in client-facing roles. In addition to technical depth, Itera placed strong emphasis on adaptability, communication skills, and a high degree of independence: key traits for consultants working across borders in agile settings. With several ongoing and upcoming projects requiring specialized Microsoft stack expertise, time-to-hire became a critical metric. <\/p>\n<h3>The client aimed to reduce hiring friction while maintaining high standards, ensuring that only carefully vetted, relevant candidates reached their internal decision-makers.<\/h3>\n<p>DevsData LLC stepped in to streamline the search and accelerate delivery without compromising on quality or alignment.<\/p>\n<h2>Our approach<\/h2>\n<p>We began by conducting a rapid needs assessment and market analysis, drawing on the prior experience recruiting Microsoft-certified professionals. Recognizing the urgency, our team organized a video consultation with Itera\u2019s hiring managers within the first 48 hours. During this call, we presented tailored insights on regional talent availability, salary benchmarks, and hiring feasibility across several countries, including Poland, Romania, India, and parts of Western Europe.<\/p>\n<p>With the client\u2019s approval, we launched a targeted sourcing strategy across multiple regions simultaneously. This included direct outreach via LinkedIn, role-specific job boards, and industry communities, supported by posts and campaigns on high-traffic social platforms. By aligning our messaging with Itera\u2019s brand and work culture, we ensured strong initial engagement. Our internal database of over <span class=\"formatted-number\">65000<\/span> pre-vetted tech candidates provided an immediate pipeline of relevant profiles to initiate the screening process.<\/p>\n<h2>Execution and delivery<\/h2>\n<p>Speed and accuracy defined our delivery model. Within three business days of the initial kickoff, we shared the first batch of qualified candidates, each accompanied by a detailed evaluation summary. Every candidate underwent a multi-stage recruiting process, including technical screening, soft skills assessment, and background verification. Our technical reviewers, senior developers with Microsoft stack expertise, conducted hands-on evaluations to ensure genuine proficiency, especially in Dynamics 365 and Power BI.<\/p>\n<p>We maintained close communication loops with Itera throughout the process, providing regular updates and adjusting candidate criteria in real time based on feedback. In total, over 100 candidates were screened during the engagement. The first successful hire was made in under two weeks, with the remaining roles filled over the course of five weeks. <\/p>\n<h3>The success of this collaboration laid the foundation for a longer-term relationship, with Itera returning for additional hiring support on Microsoft-focused and adjacent roles.<\/h3>\n<h2>Outcome<\/h2>\n<p>Within six weeks, DevsData LLC successfully filled five high-impact positions for Itera, including senior Microsoft Dynamics developers, Power BI specialists, and cross-functional consultants. All candidates had at least five years of hands-on experience with the Microsoft stack, including previous roles at enterprise consulting firms and large-scale implementation projects in finance, logistics, and energy. These professionals became an integral part of Itera\u2019s delivery operations, working directly with enterprise clients across the Nordics and DACH region. Several had also worked in cross-border teams and were accustomed to agile environments, client workshops, and solution customization for regulated industries. Their contributions supported both ongoing digital transformation projects and long-term platform development initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the process, communication remained fast-paced and transparent, allowing us to iterate quickly based on feedback and evolving role definitions. The client noted improved delivery timelines and stronger team cohesion as a result of timely placements. What began as a focused hiring engagement evolved into a broader strategic relationship, with DevsData LLC now regarded as a reliable partner for Microsoft stack recruitment.<\/p>\n<h3>Highlights:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>5 certified Microsoft Dynamics and Power BI professionals placed within 6 weeks.<\/li>\n<li>80+ candidates sourced and screened across 12 countries.<\/li>\n<li>Custom technical evaluations led by in-house Microsoft experts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What&#8217;s next?<\/h2>\n<p>Following the successful delivery of the initial hiring round, Itera has expressed interest in expanding the collaboration further, particularly in support of larger digital transformation engagements and new client acquisitions.
