More about us & how we work

How we hire

1st phase – Introductions 👋

You’ll have a casual introductory chat with our recruiter. The purpose of the first chat is to get to know one another, and the best way to do this is through open dialogue. 

2nd phase – Dev to dev chat 💻

You’ll meet our CEO. Janne has a long history in software development, and due to his developer background, you can talk to him as a developer to developer. This chat is not a tech grill but rather a technically focused conversation. Again, quite casual.       If all parties still agree on the bright career future together after the second chat, our sales team comes to play. They will do their best to find you a suitable project. 

3rd phase – Client interview 🏢

When our sales team finds you a suitable project, you’ll meet the potential client. The chat with the client is usually the most technical part of the process. We will prep you for the interview beforehand and provide you with all the support you might need. 

Contract & welcome 🤝

After the client interview, all that is left is to revise and agree on the contract details. Then, you’re a new Softabilitian. Welcome! 

Our core beliefs

One size doesn’t fit all.  

There’s no one right way to build a career. We believe they should be as unique as the individuals pursuing them.  

So, instead of preset career paths, we focus on supporting your individual journey. We listen to your wishes and value your expertise to offer projects that align with your ambitions.

Meaningful for you.

Meaningful work means different things to different people. For some, it’s about overcoming technical challenges. For others, it might be about creating impact through software.  

Given the nature of R&D and our industry focus, with us, you don’t have to choose one or the other.

For the long term.

We’re committed to offering stability. To you and to our clients.  

We take a holistic view on software development. And grasp the demands of our clients’ large and systematic organizations, completing their R&D teams.  

This way of working calls for long-term engagement. As such, we don’t hire for the short term.

In this together.

Our work is demanding, there’s no question about it. For that reason, we’ve built a back office that will support your aspirations, not hinder them.  

With us, you can immerse yourself in your work, knowing that support is always just a call away. Whenever you need it.

Our perks & benefits

A warm-hearted community of people who are invested in their work but enjoy their lives outside the office, too. Sometimes together. 

FAQ

Sometimes, this happens in consulting. However, our sales team always does their best to land you a new project as soon as possible. While you wait, you can clarify your career aspirations, help out the sales team, or use the time to develop your skills.
