  I’ve been working (almost) exclusively in the mobile space for the last 7 years. I learned how to develop mobile applications so that I can actually understand client requirements and developer skills, without just matching buzzwords. More importantly, I have a genuine passion for what I do, and the success I’ve had over the years has, in my opinion, been a direct result of that.IDPP are an IT recruitment and Telecoms recruitment Consultancy. We leverage our extensive global network and experience as IT and Telecoms recruitment specialists to source for our clients the best available talent from around the world; and for our candidates, the best career and contract opportunities – without risk, without boundaries, without compromise, and without exception.

Darwin Recruitment

• Staffing and Recruiting
• 200 - 300 Employee

• Mobile (iOS/Android) Specialist

  • Jan 2015 - May 2016

  Darwin Recruitment has over 15 years of experience recruiting in the IT sector across all of Europe! Though, as a company, we cover multiple sectors and geographies, all of the Recruitment Consultants here at Darwin are experts in one particular technical area, and focus all of their time and efforts on this one area. This allows us to be specialists in that specific area, and bring the best candidates in the market to projects that are suitable for them on a personal, financial, and technical level. My personal focus is on Mobile (iOS/Android) Freelancers in Germany, particularly Berlin. I bring 5 years of solid recruitment experience to the area, and being a junior mobile developer myself, means that when speaking with clients, I have a technical understanding of their requirements, instead of just identifying key "buzz words". For more information, please feel free to get in touch! Show less
