How Innovative Payment Platform Simply Zibra Unlocked Growth with a Back-end Developer and Achieved More Offshore with Dijital Team


The Challenge

Simply Zibra faced significant hurdles in recruiting and retaining high-quality technical talent. Previous attempts to hire through platforms like LinkedIn yielded less-than-ideal results, with hires often failing to meet required standards or stay with the company long term.

This left the founders juggling technical development tasks alongside their business responsibilities. The need for a back-end developer became critical—someone who could take ownership of integrations and other technical tasks requiring expertise that neither founder could fully provide.
