About our client
Appsky is an award-winning custom software development agency based in Omaha, Nebraska that specializes in the design and development of mobile and web applications, using the latest scalable cloud technologies, for organizations and SaaS-based companies. Appsky’s dispersed team of experienced UI/UX designers, software engineers, and consultants utilize trusted lean business and agile development frameworks to assist in bringing products to life for its clients across many industries.
The challenge
Due to the local talent shortage in Nebraska, Appsky started looking nationally for talent and was shown the benefits of finding a nearshore partner.
Appsky defines itself as a company that has a startup culture and a startup mentality, although at the end of the day it operates as a more traditional company with more corporate clients.
They found Lithium through an external business consultant, who did the research and suggested working with a Latam company and made the link with Lithium. The main driver was that it was impossible for them to find IT talent locally.
How Lithium helped
“Lithium allows us to scale our team and find the technical talent we need for our clients’ projects, in the required time”
Taylor Korensky – Appsky CEO
Since February 2021, Lithium has helped Appsky to strengthen their dev team, with highly-skilled, trusted developers from Latam. During this journey together, Lithium has introduced +10 developers to the Appsky team. The profiles were a mix of frontend, backend, fullstack, QA Manual, and QA automation engineers.
The process with the client have always been very agile, once they quickly trusted on Lithium’s recruiting process, 90% of the introduced profiles were confirmed to join their team. This remarks the commitment of the Lithium team to provide high quality candidates, that matches the project needs, the startup mindset and cultural fit at Appsky. They expect for developers with a great autonomy level, and the capacity to help in diverse projects at the same time.
