Introduction

BinarApps, a 250-person software consultancy in Lodz, Poland, builds web and mobile products for global clients. The team released new features frequently, so they needed broader automated test coverage and a reliable process to verify code changes before each build. The brief was clear: hire two Senior QA Automation Engineers who improve frameworks and keep delivery moving. The roles targeted web and mobile automation with senior ownership of CI.

DevsData LLC ran a focused headhunting sprint. Within 27 days of project kickoff, 210 outreaches and 31 screenings resulted in two signed offers. The seniors stabilized CI and raised release confidence, delivering automation across web and mobile with Selenium, Appium, TestNG, and Jenkins, primarily using Java, Python, and JavaScript. Work aligned with Central European schedules and ongoing product releases.

Client overview

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Lodz, Poland, BinarApps is a software consultancy that partners with organizations across Europe and beyond to deliver tailored digital solutions. The company has worked on eCommerce platforms, FinTech applications, and logistics systems, often collaborating with both scaling startups and established corporations. Its focus lies in translating client business needs into functional, maintainable software that supports operational continuity and market growth.

Key services and areas of specialization include:

• Web and mobile application development.
• Product discovery, consulting, and user-focused design.
• UX/UI prototyping and interface optimization.
• Quality assurance, test automation, and DevOps integration.
• Support for blockchain, IoT, artificial intelligence, and large-scale analytics.

The company employs more than 250 professionals and has delivered over 150 projects for a client base spread across 16 countries. BinarApps works in sectors such as healthcare, finance, logistics, and retail, with projects ranging from early-stage startups to established enterprises. With ongoing expansion in Europe and a strong record of international collaborations, the consultancy continues to build its presence in the global technology services market.

Project scope and objectives

BinarApps engaged DevsData LLC to recruit Senior QA Automation engineers within a timeline of under one month. The client had many products in active development, and its internal team could not run a fast, high-volume search for senior automation engineers without slowing other hiring cycles. The profiles required deep experience across web and mobile testing, plus ownership of the process that checked code before integration. DevsData LLC supplied added capacity and technical screening so the company could keep its delivery pace.

The project scope focused on filling two senior roles with proven capability in automation and CI, alongside the ability to refine frameworks already in place. Candidates were expected to work with Selenium, TestNG, Jenkins, SQL, Appium, and native mobile frameworks such as XCUITest or UIAutomator, with proficiency required in either iOS or Android. Both positions were fully remote but required collaboration within Central European schedules to stay aligned with active development teams.

BinarApps expected engineers to reduce reliance on manual checks and improve delivery stability, while also taking ownership of CI. Closing the process in less than a month was essential, and every stage was measured against both technical rigor and cultural fit. By meeting these conditions, the company gained stronger release assurance and lasting improvements to its web and mobile development efforts.

Challenges and constraints

Recruitment for BinarApps proved demanding because the company needed Senior QA Automation Engineers with responsibility across both web and mobile platforms while managing CI pipelines under a strict deadline. These requirements introduced multiple obstacles, each requiring targeted solutions.

These constraints demanded a recruitment process designed for accuracy and speed. DevsData LLC’s structured approach allowed BinarApps to complete hiring without delays and reinforced confidence in its delivery pipeline.

Strategic recruitment approach

DevsData LLC advised concentrating the search in Poland, where the talent pool for senior QA automation roles was strong and working hours matched BinarApps’ development teams. Access to candidates already working in agile release environments reduced coordination overhead and kept evaluations on track.

Sourcing was carried out through several channels. Recruiters activated DevsData LLC’s internal candidate base, launched targeted outreach on LinkedIn and GitHub, and tapped into referrals from past placements. From 210 outreach attempts, a high share of replies came in during the first ten days, which created a pool of 118 reviewed profiles. The search prioritized engineers with proven track records in web automation using Selenium or mobile automation through Appium, combined with experience integrating CI tools in production.

The screening flow tested applied automation skills. Each candidate solved a coding task, then demonstrated Selenium work on web scenarios, and then reviewed Jenkins pipelines with SQL checks. Appium knowledge was assessed through a discussion of real mobile use cases rather than a standalone task. Finalists progressed through cultural and delivery alignment panels, where their readiness for agile schedules and distributed collaboration was tested. To sustain engagement, feedback was returned within two business days at each stage.

Results and impact

DevsData LLC completed the engagement by securing both Senior QA Automation Engineers within 27 days. The search closed faster than prior internal cycles, with offers accepted immediately and onboarding aligned to ongoing delivery, driven by competitive compensation and strong alignment with role scope and technology stack.
Key outcomes included:

• Automated frameworks were expanded across web and mobile, and the process that checked code before integration became steadier, which reduced manual reviews and lowered the volume of late-stage fixes.
• Hiring managers reduced review hours by relying on pre-filtered shortlists instead of broad applicant pools.
• A secondary pool of over 50 vetted engineers was established, leaving BinarApps with reserve capacity for future scaling.
• Alignment with CET schedules improved coordination between developers and QA staff, shortening feedback loops.

These outcomes strengthened delivery confidence, reduced strain on internal teams, and positioned BinarApps to maintain consistent release quality while scaling its digital services.

Conclusion

BinarApps faced an urgent hiring need that affected delivery timelines and overall product quality. The company required Senior QA Automation Engineers who could work across platforms and assume responsibility for continuous integration pipelines. Leaving these roles unfilled meant slower testing, more manual verification, and reduced confidence in upcoming releases.

DevsData LLC responded with a recruitment strategy built around precision and speed. The process moved from targeted outreach to carefully designed technical drills, combined with validation stages that measured candidates against live project demands. Within four weeks, both roles were filled, and a reserve list of additional vetted engineers was created to protect against future gaps. This approach allowed BinarApps to restore momentum, with engineers contributing to automation frameworks and CI stability soon after onboarding.

The outcome highlights DevsData LLC’s ability to support technology companies in Europe that need immediate access to specialists in QA automation and pipeline integration.

By combining fast cycles with rigorous evaluation, DevsData LLC consistently delivers measurable results in high-growth environments. For more information, or to discuss your own recruitment needs, contact general@devsdata.com or visit www.devsdata.com.
