In 2026, the difference between “delivering a CV” and “delivering a specialist” is enormous. While the market is flooded with generic profiles, the real bottleneck for companies is expertise validation. A bad IT hire costs a company, on average, 2.5 times the annual salary of that specialist according to the Society for Human Resource Management.
At TIP IT Solutions, we eliminate this risk. Our process is not about forwarding emails, but about technical and cultural filtering that allows only the top 5% of relevant candidates to reach the client.
1. Phase: Decoding Business Needs
Success does not start with technology, but with understanding the context. A generic assignment such as “we need a senior Java developer” no longer works in 2026.
“We often see companies underestimate role definition. We ask about the details: What condition is the project in? How does the team work? Which skills are truly needed? The more specific the assignment, the lower the later turnover,” explains Martin Fekiač, Head of Recruitment at TIP IT Solutions.

2. Technical Deep Dive and Internal Scoring
This is the stage where quality is truly proven. Every consultant we recommend goes through a multi-level screening process personally guaranteed by our technical leadership.
Our unique scoring system, led by CTO Tomáš Topinka: Unlike standard agencies, our candidates are interviewed by senior experts in the relevant technology. We evaluate:
- Hard skills: Ability to deliver high-quality and sustainable output, knowledge of modern cloud principles, and effective use of AI tools to optimize their own work.
- Architectural overlap: Does the candidate understand the broader system context, or do they only complete assigned tasks?
- Product mindset: Ability to think about value for the end user.
For every profile, the client receives a Scoring Report summarizing the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses. This saves hours of your internal tech leads’ time.
3. Matchmaking Tailored to Company Culture
In 2026, we know that projects fail more often because of people than because of technology. That is why we take the type of environment into account during selection:
- Corporate projects: Focus on processes, compliance, and stability.
- Startup/scale-up: Focus on agility, multitasking, and fast delivery — a ship-it mentality.
4. Efficient Time-to-Hire
Because we send only 1–2 highly relevant candidates to the client, the process on the client side becomes radically faster.
- Our average time to fill a role: 7–28 days.
- Management time saved: Up to 70% compared to standard recruitment.

5. Onboarding and Quality Assurance
Our role does not end with signing the contract. We monitor the specialist’s onboarding curve and stay in contact with both sides.
- Continuous feedback: We eliminate communication noise during the first weeks.
- Knowledge base: If a specialist encounters a unique technical problem, they can consult it with our internal expert team.
Conclusion: Quality Over Quantity
IT outsourcing by TIP IT Solutions is an investment in your CTO’s peace of mind and the speed of your development. We do not send CVs; we deliver verified capacity that creates value from day one.
