Svitla Systems

I was approached directly by this company’s recruiter with what seemed like an exciting opportunity. During our conversation, there was no mention that the hiring process (or even the eventual job security) would depend entirely on a third-party client’s decisions. The recruiter presented the company as having “lots of projects,” implying a strong internal pipeline and solid opportunities.After an enthusiastic call on Friday, we agreed to move to the next stage on Monday, including technical meetings and deeper discussions. The recruiter was so eager to proceed that they even asked for my WhatsApp number to speed up communication. Yet at 4 AM on Monday, I received an email stating that the position had been put on hold because “the client decided to stop searching for now.”It’s hard to believe that a serious company would schedule calls, ask for my personal contact details, and express such urgency on Friday—only to cancel everything on Monday with such a flimsy excuse. Who gets critical project updates from a client over the weekend, anyway? This shows not only a lack of professionalism but also a complete disregard for candidates’ time and trust.Transparency and respect are fundamental in any recruitment process. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company’s practices to anyone. "

Our startup works closely with Svitla to staff a significant portion of our engineering team, and we have come to rely on them to help drive our product development. Very impressed with the level of engagement from their client-facing teams, and we integrated their engineering contractors seamlessly into our team and our software development work stream. "
