Scaling against all odds: a fintech success story

In the fintech landscape, OPP secured substantial funding to fuel their growth. Success brought an urgent challenge: rapidly building their team with PHP Developers, Senior Sales and Product Specialists. The clock was ticking. Investors were watching. The market opportunity wouldn’t wait. But, Industry experts raised their eyebrows. “Not possible,” they said.

“You’ll never find PHP Developers,” they insisted. We saw it differently. Where others spotted obstacles, we recognized opportunity. Together with OPP, we developed a talent strategy that leveraged their authentic Dutch straightforwardness as a strength. We crafted messaging that cut through typical corporate recruitment noise and spoke directly to the motivations of their target candidates.

Why we’re proud?
OPP holds a special place in our story. What started as a project evolved into an epic partnership where we've become part of their growth journey and they became part of ours. We've been with each other for so long now that we've stopped offering coffee and just point to the machine - true Dutch hospitality. But seeing OPP grow into a strong employer of choice makes every straightforward conversation worth it.
