What People Are Saying
“Alexandra did a very good job in getting me a new position as a Java Lead Software Engineer at AlfaBank. At that time I'd already received 7 offers as Lead Developer and was choosing where to go. All offers were really cool, and Alexandra did her best to get me to AlfaBank. And I have never regretted this decision. The project is very interesting, I really enjoy working here and by the moment I've already accelerated the development process by about 1.5-2 times, so I'm sure the whole team is very grateful to Alexandra too! Thank you!”
— Daniel, Senior Software Architect
