Blue House Technologies

Companies that need extra engineers for a project do not always want to hire permanently. Blue House Technologies describes itself as an on-demand IT task force that supplies senior developers and specialists to join a client's team for the length of the work.

Experts chosen to fit the project

The firm says it works only with senior developers and IT experts, and that it guides the client through choosing the right candidate. People it places already have the skills and experience needed, so they can take an active part in the project without a long onboarding period. Besides programmers, its network takes in people who own products, manage projects, design, architect systems or consult.

A community that vets its own members

Blue House describes a community of top IT professionals from across Europe as the heart of how it works. Members take part in assessing newcomers, which the company says helps verify skills and keeps the standard above the average. The community also shapes how the firm collaborates with clients.

Fewer, better people

The firm applies the Pareto principle to staffing: roughly a fifth of effort produces most of the results. It argues that a small team picked carefully for a project, or a single strong specialist, can create more value than a dozen people with weaker competence. Clients share their requirements and the company assembles a complete team whose skills complement each other. It also says it estimates the real needs of the project to make good use of expert time, tries to match consultants with work they care about, and tracks how the cooperation with each client is going.

Examples of the work

The site refers to long-term cooperation in which its developers took full responsibility for customer-facing web applications and websites, including front-end and back-end development. One example is an app for a German premium automotive brand that consisted of 20 different modules. The firm says it supports companies around the world, and it also invites IT professionals to apply to join its community.
