Scaling tech teams at the same pace as the business
Like many fast-growing scaleups, its capacity to execute was starting to depend on something it couldn’t scale at the same pace: talent. Finding very specific profiles, especially in Django, was slow and unpredictable, while projects moved forward against fixed deadlines. And it needed people who also shared its social purpose.

"Working with a company like Qida is both very rewarding and challenging. I love knowing that we’re able to support such a necessary cause, so closely tied to social impact. It also pushes us to always have the best tech profiles for them. It’s proving to be a real lesson in purpose and professionalism."
