Happy Birthday to our CEO, Robert Collins! 🥳
From building iFindTech from the ground up to helping shape the team, culture and business we have today, it certainly wouldn’t be the same without him.
A brilliant CEO, leader and someone who continues to play a huge part in everything we do.
We hope you have a great birthday and enjoy the celebrations! 🍻❤️
Myth:
The best Senior Backend Engineer CV will have every technology in your stack.
Java. Kotlin. Kafka. Kubernetes. PostgreSQL. AWS. Terraform. Redis.
Reality:
We’d much rather see evidence that someone understands why and when those technologies should be used.
There’s a big difference between:
“Used Kafka”
and
“Designed an event-driven architecture and had to think about ordering, retries, idempotency and what happens when consumers fail.”
The same applies to Kubernetes.
Having deployed something to Kubernetes doesn’t automatically make someone strong in cloud-native engineering.
The engineers we rate highly tend to talk about trade-offs.
– Why did you choose that architecture?
– What broke?
– What happened at scale?
– What would you design differently now?
– How did you make the system observable?
That conversation tells you considerably more than counting keywords on a CV.
When we’re screening senior engineers, depth nearly always beats the number of technologies listed.
2 Years of Charlie Dell! 💙
Over the past two years, Charlie has become a huge part of the team, building some brilliant relationships across the Nordic market and making a great impact along the way. 🚀
It’s been amazing watching his journey so far, and we’re looking forward to seeing what year three brings!👏
September Rundown 🍂
September has been a busy one at iFindTech and a great month for the team.
🏆 Owen took Consultant of the Month, alongside celebrating 5 years with iFindTech.
🎉 Lucy hit an incredible 6 years with us, while Ellis celebrated 2 years with the team.
🍻 Our incentive winners enjoyed a well earned afternoon out, and the Friday pub trips have continued to make an appearance.
💻 Programmers’ Day landed in September, giving us a chance to recognise the developers and engineers at the heart of the tech industry we work with every day.
📈 Most importantly, the financial year has started strongly. Plenty of new roles, conversations, interviews and placements already moving in the right direction.
And you know summer is officially over when the office aircon finally starts being left OFF.
Plenty happening. Plenty more to come.
On to October. 🚀
iFindTech SeptemberRundown TechRecruitment TeamCulture Recruitment Technology
Something we’ve seen happen more than once.
We start a search with a very specific technical brief.
The client knows exactly what they want.
Specific language.
Specific framework.
Specific cloud.
Specific background.
Then we introduce someone who doesn’t tick every box.
But they understand the engineering problem better than almost anyone else we’ve spoken to.
The interview happens.
An hour later, the conversation has completely changed.
Instead of:
“Do they have enough experience with X?”
it becomes:
“How quickly can we get them back in?”
Those placements are always a good reminder that a job description is a starting point.
Particularly at senior level, you’re rarely hiring a collection of technologies.
You’re hiring someone’s judgement, experience and ability to solve problems the company probably hasn’t encountered yet.
Sometimes the right candidate doesn’t match the brief.
They improve it.
Happy Birthday, Ellis Sullivan! 🎂
What better way to spend your day than off work on a Friday! 🍻
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday from everyone at iFind. Hope you have a brilliant day and make the most of the long weekend! 🥳💙
“AI Engineer” might currently be one of the least useful job titles in tech recruitment.
Two candidates can both have AI Engineer on their CV and be doing completely different jobs.
→ One trains and fine-tunes models using Python, PyTorch and ML infrastructure.
→ Another builds production AI with RAG, LLMs, evaluation and agents.
→ Another is a strong software engineer focused on integrating LLMs into products.
→ And another has simply built a few AI API integrations.
They aren’t interchangeable.
We’re seeing more AI hiring across Sweden and Norway, but the first question we increasingly want companies to answer is:
What do you actually need this person to build?
Once you understand that, the profile normally becomes much clearer.
AI hiring is noisy enough already.
A precise technical brief cuts through a lot of it.
We’re hiring a Chief Technology Officer in Stockholm
A chance to take ownership of the full technology function at a fast-growing, profitable European fintech and have real influence over both technology and the wider business.
If you’ve scaled technology within fintech, lending or payments and are ready for your next challenge, we’d like to hear from you.
📍 Stockholm – Onsite
📩 owen.butler@ifindtech.com
Hiring software engineers in Sweden and Norway at the same time teaches you pretty quickly that they aren’t one single “Nordic talent market”.
Stockholm has a huge product and startup ecosystem, particularly across fintech, SaaS, gaming and consumer technology.
Oslo has its own strengths, with a lot of interesting engineering sitting across energy, industrial technology, marketplaces, finance, public infrastructure and increasingly AI.
Then you get into compensation.
A salary that gets someone’s attention in Stockholm doesn’t necessarily have the same impact in Oslo.
Add language requirements and the talent pool can change dramatically again.
Then there’s relocation.
Stockholm to Oslo might look like a relatively straightforward move on a map, but someone moving country still has a partner, children, housing, tax considerations and a life they’ve built around them.
The mistake is assuming Sweden and Norway operate as one single hiring market.
It isn’t.
The companies that hire well understand the small differences between each market.
Those small differences often determine whether a candidate says yes or no.
