Insiders of a startup company know it is a challenge to find quality Java developers willing to embrace the associated risk / reward ratio without paying way above market rate. And it is even harder if the right Java Developer needs to be found in the Netherlands as current demand is high. After evaluation and previous experience with competitor nearshore development organizations we have chosen for Daxx (and hence Ukraine) as our base for development.

The experience with Daxx is very positive and they deliver the Java development resources we are looking for.
Last but not least, when hiring developers from other countries one should also be prepared for cultural differences and possible communication difficulties with your team. Tatyana (HR) helped us to understand each other and to find the right way of our collaboration. It took us around 4 weeks to build trustworthy relations and start working as a team. Now everything works smoothly.

Daxx was able to connect us with highly-educated developers at a price that has allowed us to hire two developers for roughly the cost of one in the US. I would recommend Daxx's services to anyone looking to find talented, reliable developers.
I think Daxx-recruited developers are very dedicated, they don't do it with the thought "I get paid, I have to code." As I've said, what we really like isn't to hire someone to do a project for us, but have someone to fulfill our vision together with us.
After Valentyn developed the video feature, we saw that the number of hours watched has increased on our web app. And the new onboarding flow lifted the conversion rate significantly.
