R&D Director at BIScience
“Ultimately, the quality of what we produce in our R&D center depends on the people we hire and the culture we create. Alcor has never led us astray in that regard.”
“It’s extremely important to US companies to be confident as to legal structures and operational comfort for doing business in a foreign country. Since Alcor specializes exclusively in IT and possesses the best practices, we are happy to launch our own branded R&D center with their full cycle of Recruiting & Compliance Support.”
“Thanks for helping us make our dreams come true! We are very excited to have our own R&D presence in Eastern Europe with your offshore recruitment services!”
“We have built a full stack engineering team in 1.5 months. We had multilple candidates that we considered for each position. 95% of candidates presented by Alcor’s recruitment team passed the resume review. And ongoing team management is easy and effortless. They’ve solved every problem we’ve faced, even crazy things like buying certified hardware in the middle of nowhere on Bali and ship it to EU :)”
