E-learning platform
Studytube is an enterprise-level education services company, headquartered in Amsterdam. It is the fastest-growing e-learning platform in Europe. The company currently boasts 250+ customers from various industries and over 500K active users.
It has a team of 125+ employees distributed between Amsterdam and Kharkiv offices. Grid Dynamics helped Studytube to build their remote development center in Ukraine, which currently has around 40 tech specialists.
Studytube is a solution for managing, sharing and disseminating knowledge within organizations. It combines a learning experience platform (LXP) and a learning management system (LMS). This all-in-one solution allows businesses to create a personalized training environment for their employees.
The transition to a B2B solution required a technology change, and Angular appeared to be the best fit. However, the company didn’t have in-house developers with the necessary tech stack, so they had to build a team from scratch.
At the initial stage, Grid Dynamics recruited two JavaScript developers for Studytube Kharkiv. The team soon doubled in size, but to ensure its further expansion the company decided to build their own talent pipeline.
Grid Dynamics aided Studytube in launching their trainee school for aspiring developers. The course lasted three months, and in that time programmers mastered JavaScript and the basics of education software development. Those who showed the best progress were given an offer to join the company as full-fledged junior engineers. Many of them are now senior developers, working as tech or team leads.
Today Studytube Kharkiv is a coherent nearshore development center with 40+ specialists. Grid Dynamics recruitment specialists not only helped to set up the team of Angular developers but also supported the project's further growth. Over the past eight years, they brought back-end developers, UI engineers, and QA engineers to the Studytube Kharkiv team.
The company’s CTO, Stepan Suvorov, pointed out that Grid Dynamics has seasoned HR specialists, who are well-versed in technology and employee relations. This allows them to be on the same page with the client, understanding what their top priorities are.
In addition to HR support, Grid Dynamics takes care of employee onboarding, maintaining Studytube’s remote development office, as well as payroll and taxes.
If you plan to outsource your IT operations to a nearshore location, here are some know-hows from Studytube's CTO:
