STORY BEHIND Usually, we travel a lot and this time we arranged many face-to-face business meetings with potential clients in Chicago. There are many different ways to get lists of Chicago startups and tech companies. One of them is an absolutely amazing community “Built in Chicago“. We were digging through job opportunities along with other useful information and found that Litera Microsystems was looking for both in-house and remote developers. Luckily, one of the executives at Litera gave us 15 minutes for an in-person meeting where he shared more information about their hiring needs. After that, despite a really tight deadline, we did our best to provide qualified developers on time and on budget.
