Avesta Computer Services

Hiring and team building for technology and SaaS companies

Avesta Computer Services is a recruitment and team-building firm based in India, and the company describes its core mission as building technology teams for customers by sourcing talent from around the world. It says it works with venture-funded startups as well as Fortune 500 corporations, and that its experience comes from more than 25 years in the hi-tech industry.

The firm says that filling one skilled role, or a single missing skill, can be an overwhelming task when the pool of global talent is so wide. It presents its service as identifying the precise person for the precise job at the right point in time, across a range of platforms and technologies.

Building a whole team with a build, operate, transfer model

Where a client needs an entire technology team, or a new function set up within a fixed period, Avesta describes a model it calls build, operate, transfer. Under that model the firm takes complete ownership of building the team, manages its operations day to day, and then transfers ownership to the client organization once the team is ready to run on its own.

The company says it has used this model several times, and that its customers include teams that follow the client's lead as well as teams set up to stand up an entirely new function.

Talent acquisition process

The firm's process begins by aligning the budget and understanding the company's culture and the key attributes that will lead to success in the role. It then sources and screens candidates from its internal and external networks.

Candidates are presented and interviewed through Avesta's own talent management dashboard, where the client can review them. The process ends with onboarding and a continuous feedback loop, which the company says strengthens the partnership over time and keeps the quality of hires under review.

Quality engineering and proprietary practice

The company says it has built numerous technology teams and has developed proprietary practices for working with them. Its quality engineering professional services support product launches, and the company says its working practices are built around clear collaboration and the productivity of its customers.

Clients, sizes and what they look for

The firm's clients span many industries and sizes of organization. The company says it helps leaders of those organizations hire for technology and product roles, and that it looks for people with both high skills and a forward-looking attitude.
