About Solease
Solease is on a mission to make the threshold for solar energy as low as possible for anyone. In their opinion, everyone should be able to have solar energy. Therefore, they’ve made it available for people to rent solar panels instead of buying them.
In 2015 they were declared as a ‘game changer’ in the industry and have one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns of 2017/2018. Solease wants to grow even more with their mission to make solar energy accessible to everyone, whether you want to buy or rent them.
What was the challenge
With their mission to grow, Solease also ran into the struggle of finding experienced and talented IT staff. When looking at the Dutch job market, finding a generic and experienced all-round developer is not only difficult but it's also extremely expensive.
Salaries of IT staff are growing through the roof and as a smaller non-corporate company it is getting more difficult to find qualified IT staff. Solease was looking for a motivated junior or medior developer, but was struggling to find the right fit.
The solution
Solease was introduced to Typeqast in their search for IT staff. Together they looked into the needs of Solease and connected well. Solease felt understood and soon the application procedures started.
Solease interviewed quite some candidates and found their perfect match. They were in need of a medior developer with a lot of general knowledge, that could later on also dive deeper into specific topics, and they found him!
The result
Solease started with one developer and soon after added the second one into their team. The Typeqasters really feel part of the team and working together remotely is going extremely well. Solease feels unburdened, since Typeqast takes away a big part of work in management, coaching, training and career progress of the IT staff. Furthermore, Solease has been able to prevent high costs on salaries, whilst having highly motivated and well educated IT professionals.
Why Typeqast?
“Our partnership with Typeqast has been very valuable. We had a very good match and they provided us with highly qualified IT staff. The Typeqasters really feel part of our team. We used to struggle with finding the right people for the right salary, since paying high salaries does not mean that we would have qualified candidates. With Typeqast we are able to stay within budget, whilst still having the quality and knowledge we require.” - IT Manager @ Solease
"We just clicked and had an instant connection. Plus, Typeqast is a potential partner for life. This is because they are flexible, think alongside us, and want to grow together with us."
