Back-End Developer for STOKR in just 4 days



Situation
STOKR, an innovative blockchain fintech from the DACH region, was urgently seeking a back-end developer with professional blockchain experience.
In addition to solid Node.js skills, practical Web3 experience in a professional setting was required – a challenging profile, as many candidates have only gathered these skills part-time in projects.
The particular challenge: recruitment and interviews needed to be completed within 2 months – standard notice periods in Germany made a regular solution almost impossible.
Approach
Given the time-critical requirements, we opted for targeted direct contact.
With deep industry knowledge – in both tech and fintech within the DACH region – we were able to identify and convince highly relevant candidates.
The selection process was kept deliberately compact (2-stage), as the client, especially the CTO, recognised that speed was crucial for success.
Result
The position was filled within just 4 days – the fastest recruitment process in the company's history:
Tuesday: Direct contact and presentation of the candidate
Wednesday: First interview
Thursday: Second interview & offer
Friday: Offer accepted
Presented Candidates
