Case Study · R&D Center Build · Poland

100 Engineers in One Year

Plexus Tech — a Spanish technology firm delivering for Santander Group and the Inditex brands (Zara, Bershka, Massimo Dutti and more) — opened a Polish branch and needed it staffed for real: a 100-person IT center, built from zero. NDS ran the build as a steady hiring machine: a predictable monthly cadence instead of heroic sprints.

A Cadence You Can Put in a Plan

A hub build lives or dies on predictability. This one ran on a published monthly rhythm — the numbers a CFO can budget against:

Per monthCountWhat it means
CVs delivered15Pre-screened against the stack — not a database export.
Interviews held1387% of submitted profiles reached interview — the shortlist did its job.
Hires signed5Sustained for a year — 100 seats filled without a quality collapse at the tail.

Roles across the build: Java, mobile, web and backend developers, DevOps engineers, analytics specialists, project managers.

Why it held

Built Like a Hub, Not a Vacancy List

Stack-tailored screening

Every candidate matched to the actual tech stack and delivery culture — the client's own requirement, kept every month.

Volume without dilution

The 15→13→5 funnel stayed stable at scale — the CV-to-interview rate a scorecard would grade "keep them".

One relationship, long horizon

The build turned into long-term cooperation — the hub keeps hiring, and the pipeline keeps running.

What the client said

The Same Language
