Please, introduce yourself.</p> <p>01:37-02:48 Can you reflect a little bit on whether it brings you some additional value as a developer, your past experience as a marketing manager or maybe it's not?</p> <p>02:49-04:03 Do you think it is a typical learning curve while a developer learns all the obstacles, all the details of the project and then improves himself or herself with the technical skill in the borders of the same project? Does this duration of learning be limited to one or five years?</p> <p>04:04-06:15 How likely will the big project be willing to change a technological stack from one framework or programming language to another in three or five years for example?</p> <p>06:16-08:17 What reasons could be given to the client to continue working with the same team and giving them an ability to learn while shifting to another framework and not hiring a new team?</p> <p>08:18-09:54 What happens with a developer who stops learning new things?</p> <p>09:55-11:00 What are the typical sources of your knowledge improvement?</p> <p>11:01-12:28 What's your attitude towards the professional conferences?</p> <p>12:29-14:01 Based on your experience working for different companies from all over the world, what is the big difference between Ukrainian developers and experts from other countries?</p> <p>14:02-15:21 Do you consider soft skills of a person much or do you usually interview experts for the technical skills and let somebody else think about how the person would match?</p> <p>15:22-17:49 Do you find the people who switch their career from non-technical fields into software engineering to be capable of bringing a synergy from their past knowledge or usually they tend to become good developers and just equal to any normal person in this profession?</p> <p>17:50-19:21 What's your attitude to NoCode systems?</p> <p>23:18-24:10 Did you ever think of moving to another country to be staying somewhere in a product or service company?</p> <p>24:11-24:50 What is the main reason for your choice to stay in Ukraine?</p> <p>24:51-26:46 Working directly with the client or working through the nearshoring (offshoring) service provider — what may be the pros and cons of every approach from the perspective of a developer?</p> <p>26:47-27:32 Conversation summary.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch the full episode: <a href="https://youtu.be/t3M4aj2QrpY"><u>https://youtu.be/t3M4aj2QrpY</u></a></p> <p>And subscribe to our channel to be notified about new interviews and video shows: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClRmlZQ-SsSkTPMkYsF04YQ/featured"><u>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClRmlZQ-SsSkTPMkYsF04YQ/featured</u></a></p> <p><br></p> <p>#nearshoring #developers #nearshoringcompany #itnearshoring #ukrainenearshoring #remotedevelopers #hiringprectices #hiringasoftwaredeveloper #softwareengineering #hiring #hireadev #managingremoteteams #nearshoresoftwaredevelopment #howtomanageadistributedteam #distributedteams #remoteteams </p>

Inside Nearshoring: Interview with Kateryna Boiko Mobilunity Marketing Director
<p>Welcome to the Inside Nearshoring! In this episode, we are talking about the non-technical roles in the nearshoring field with Kateryna Boiko, Mobilunity Marketing Director. We’ll dive into the specifics of recruitment, onboarding, and the working process with Ukrainian-based remote nonIT teams.</p> <p>Timestamps:<br> 00:00-2:18 Welcome to Inside Nearshoring! Please, introduce yourself.</p> <p>02:19-4:25 What is the place of non-technical roles in the nearshoring field?</p> <p>04:26-6:21 Most of the European companies are still hesitating to nearshore non-technical experts. What could be the reasons?</p> <p>06:22-9:02 What do you think are the professions that could be the best fit for the staff augmentation model to our potential clients worldwide?</p> <p>09:03-12:11 What services can be picked up in Ukraine particularly in regards to outbound marketing?</p> <p>12:12-12:50 Is it true that in your company there is a lead generation activity that brings you some quality leads and you continuously work on this?</p> <p>12:51-14:56 How capable the nearshore team might be in providing both parts of the service — mechanical or creative?</p> <p>14:57-17:38 How confident can I be about the team for outbound marketing that I placed somewhere nearshore that they not only do the mechanics but also can come up with a creative that actually will convert this into a proper sales funnel?</p> <p>17:39-19:17 How much time may clients need to invest into working with the remote non-technical team?</p> <p>19:18-22:17 What is your opinion and experience in the ability of Ukrainian experts to speak other languages besides English?</p> <p>22:18-23:40 Are there other advantages our region of Eastern Europe may have compared to other destinations for non-technical processes outsourcing?</p> <p>23:41-25:31 How can a company like yours be an assistant to verify the market and whether it will be possible then for the client to run their own operations in your country without getting your lifetime assistance as a vendor?</p> <p>25:32-28:42 What can you highlight about Ukrainian talents so our listeners understand what they should expect and what they should not be expecting from the people hired here?</p> <p>28:43- 31:05 Some of the clients could consider a vendor not only as an opportunity to hire software engineers, but also like the ability to develop their Ukrainian team with non-technical sub-teams. Is it the right approach or does it eliminate the focus of the vendor and the client themselves?</p> <p>31:06-32:51 May you please give advice to our listeners who are not yet certain about Ukrainian talent but thinking about nearshoring?</p> <p>32:52-34:02 Conversation summary.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch the full episode: <a href="https://youtu.be/WzrvyA5QVdY"><u>https://youtu.be/WzrvyA5QVdY</u></a></p> <p>And subscribe to our channel to be notified about new interviews and video shows: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClRmlZQ-SsSkTPMkYsF04YQ/featured"><u>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClRmlZQ-SsSkTPMkYsF04YQ/featured</u></a></p> <p><br></p> <p>#nearshoring #developers #nearshoringcompany #itnearshoring #ukrainenearshoring #remotedevelopers #hiringprectices #hiringasoftwaredeveloper #softwareengineering #hiring #hireadev #managingremoteteams #nearshoresoftwaredevelopment #howtomanageadistributedteam #distributedteams #remoteteams #nonitnearshoring #marketing</p>
