GOTRANSFERS: Full-stack development team in 6 weeks

GoTransverse builds cloud-based billing infrastructure for enterprises running complex pricing models. The platform is API-first and integrates natively with Salesforce, AWS, ServiceNow, Workday, and other enterprise ecosystems. GoTransverse has raised $72 million in total funding and ranked as an Exemplary Vendor in the Ventana Research Subscription Management Value Index for 2023.

Issue

GoTransverse had a clear goal: build a remote full-stack engineering team across Poland, Romania, and Ukraine, fast. The company knew the talent was there – senior engineers with deep Java and Python expertise, at 30-50% the cost of equivalent US hires.

What it didn’t have was a clear path to get there compliantly.

With no legal entity in any of the three target countries, GoTransverse needed an Employer of Record partner before it could hire a single engineer. So the search began. They interviewed vendor after vendor – EOR platforms, recruiting agencies, compliance specialists. Some could handle payroll. Some could find candidates.

None could do both, and none took ownership of the full picture.

GoTransverse needed one partner to own the entire process: find the engineers, employ them compliantly, and keep operations running without pulling leadership into the details.

Solution

Alcor took full ownership of the expansion – and from that point, GoTransverse stopped managing the expansion headaches and started managing the product.

A team of 10 technical recruiters and researchers built curated pipelines for each role – not bulk outreach, but targeted sourcing to give GoTransverse only top-10% engineers with niche tech expertise.

Alcor’s legal team provided the end-to-end EOR service across all three EU target countries, covering contracts, payroll, and finance operations before the first engineer signed anything. No entity setup, no compliance guesswork, no fragmented vendor chain.

When new hires needed hardware and IT setup – one call to the dedicated account manager was enough. Response in one day, problem solved. No leadership time lost to operational firefighting.

We interviewed a lot of EoR platforms and companies, but Alcor was the only one that provides a combo package of EoR and recruiting offerings. Alcor helped us build a full stack team in 1.5 month.

RESULTS:

6 unicorn-grade hires in 6 weeks

Five top-10% full-stack engineers and a data-savvy Product Manager – sourced, vetted, and onboarded in just 1.5 months across three EU countries. All a valuable part of GoTransverse’s true in-house team from day one.

40% of costs saved

No markups. No hidden fees. GoTransverse received full market salary analytics upfront and paid transparently for what they’ve actually used. What they saved on hiring costs stayed in the product budget.

95% CV pass rate

Every CV that landed in GoTransverse’s inbox had already been screened for technical depth, seniority, and stack fit by a senior Alcor recruiter. 95% of presented candidates made it to interview because the filtering happened before the client’s time was involved.

Compliant EOR across Eastern Europe

GoTransverse got a dedicated ops manager, a legal team with boots on the ground, and full employment, payroll, and compliance coverage across three EU countries – set up in days, not months. No entity, no intermediaries, no ticket queues.

Operational cover with no exceptions

IT setup, equipment procurement, cross-border logistics – GoTransverse delegated the operational layer entirely and got a partner who took every request personally. Full ownership from the first contact to the final fix.

Long-term by design, not by lock-in

Three years into the partnership, GoTransverse’s Eastern Europe engineering team is still intact, still productive, and still 100% GoTransverse’s. No buyout fees to worry about, no lock-in mechanics to navigate.

Clients Love Us. Teams Do Too.

“My overall experience has been outstanding. Alcor’s model offered the right balance — strong operational support combined with genuine ownership and long-term collaboration.
