Helping Sympa scale product development with senior software experts
Client
Sympa provides HR software designed to streamline operations and help HR teams and business leaders manage, support, and develop their workforce. With more than 20 years of platform evolution behind it, Sympa combines a mature product foundation with ongoing innovation in modern SaaS development.
Business Context
As Sympa prepared for further growth, the company needed to scale its software development capacity quickly while maintaining a high technical bar and strong team integration.
The challenge was not only about finding more developers. Sympa was looking for experienced senior talent who could contribute from day one, work effectively in cross-functional product teams, and fit a culture built on ownership, innovation, and cooperation.
The company needed a partner able to understand their goals, move fast, and provide carefully matched specialists.
The Solution
B3 supports Sympa in a Talent on Demand model, delivering consultants with the skills needed to strengthen software development teams in a fast-scaling SaaS environment.
The scope of the collaboration includes:
- 4 Senior Fullstack Developers with experience in .NET, C#, React, microservices, and Azure.
- 1 Senior Front end developer focused on React.
- 1 Senior Fullstack Developer with additional experience with AI in SaaS.
The technical environment required more than expertise in modern technologies. Sympa combines continuous innovation with a platform shaped over two decades. This requires consultants who can operate effectively across both modern development and an established foundation.
To maintain quality and fit, technical verification is conducted with people already working within Sympa’s projects, helping ensure each new consultant meets both technical and team expectations.
"We managed to find really good candidates from B3 with long experience. They had the correct technical background for us, and especially we liked the fact that they were able to communicate, interact, and be active in our teams."
— Pasi Jakonen, Head of Software Development, Sympa
Results
This case shows that successful scaling is not only about increasing headcount. It is about finding the right people, with the right level of experience, in the right partnership model.
For Sympa, B3 delivered a combination of:
- speed,
- seniority,
- technical relevance,
- and cultural fit.
That made it possible to expand development capacity in a way that supported both short-term delivery needs and long-term product growth.
