Agency, Mai?
Jobs posted: 1
We're a small, distributed European team (Serbia, Romania, Germany, UK, etc.) doing unusual and challenging websites and web-based apps.
We like: animations (SVG, JS and CSS) and cool transitions; sites that feel technically slick as well as being beautifully designed; sites that work hard for the client (usually with integrations of CRM systems, HR systems, etc.); WordPress sites that do not look like WordPress sites, and apps which delight our clients.
We’re like it when clients say “Wow!” We like it even more when users say “Wow!”
The best things we can hear people say are (for a WP site) "is that even possible with WordPress?! - surely not!" or (for an app) “well, we couldn’t afford a team, that big” when we know we did it with a small, efficient team. The overall approach is “agency quality, without the agency bull****”, and we tend to have very loyal clients as a result.
Our key value is mutual respect. That goes through everything from hiring (we couldn’t care less about the colour of your skin or passport, your family’s religion or your gender – we will not arbitrarily withhold respect from anyone) to team interactions (every member of the team has to have respect for the skills and insights if every other team member) to the clients we choose (if a client doesn’t respect our work or is exploiting their customers then we won’t work with them).
Typically our hiring process is: a 30-60 minute informal conversation about what you can do, and what you want, what we have, what we have done, etc., to see if there is a fit (“interview” is too formal a term); the next step would be a 60 minute coding test to do in your own time; then the next step would be some sort of test project. If we get as far as the test project then it definitely will be paid for, and it also will be on a live project for a real client, where you interact with the rest of the team, one of our production/PM types, etc.: people should get paid for work, nobody should work for free, and we don’t want to get bogged down in formal hiring processes – we’ll aim to get you on to real work as soon as possible, so that we can find out what you are like to work with and you can work out if you’re happy working with us.
