Onboarding Process

Let's Get to Know
Each Other

The project manager/supervisor introduces an engineer to his/her team, project, and work scope. During 3 months an assigned mentor reviews and comments on work results, provides the required training, and information.

Brief with a Supervisor/Mentor

After 3 months the employee has a meeting with the supervisor or the mentor during which both sides discuss the results, exchange feedbacks regarding the job duties, attitude, and challenges.

Onboarding Meeting with an HR Specialist

During an onboarding meeting with an HR manager, an engineer can specify the details of the company's processes, contact points and gets answers to FAQ.

Team Upscaling

Qulix applies two schemes of project team upscaling, if necessary.

Internal Screening/Interviewing

(a candidate from our internal talent pool)

Pros: HR specialists and Project Managers know well the strengths and weaknesses of a candidate, his/her technical + interpersonal skills.

Cons: It may take a while for the candidate to get done with his/her tasks.

Extra: In case you need specific skills that our talents don’t have, we arrange targeted training for them. Get access to our CVs, conduct interviews, and approve the candidates for your team.

Project-Specific Recruiting

(recruiting from the IT job market)

Pros: The engineers match the client’s requirements and are quickly available for the project.

Cons: Requires onboarding + supervision + extra attention to quality and attitude.

Extra: The candidate goes through two rounds of interviews: the 1st round with the Qulix HR manager and the 2nd round with the client after the 3-month trial period successfully passes.
