Introduction: Hot Beans Web is a medium-sized web development
company. It was started in 1986 by a group of enthusiastic developers, led
by Marcus Steele. At the beginning the company worked from a small office
on Poplar Street. Over the years, it has grown and become well-known for
creating high-quality and creative websites and web applications. They
work with many different clients, including new businesses, small and
medium-sized companies and large organisations. Today, Hot Beans Web
has 150 employees and earns $25 million per year, which makes them high
valued company in technology industry.
However, even with its success, the company has a big problem. They
don’t have enough skilled junior developers. This problem is become worse
because the company’s hiring process is slow and out of date, especially
its careers website, which is ineffective, and their website is old style and
broken. And because of that it has resulted in lack of interest from the
junior developer, making the company to face difficulty to do different
projects.
Background:
In early of 2024, Hot beans Web get three big contracts that make them
$15 million revenue over the next two years.
• A online shopping platform for a well-known retail company.
• A government job to update an old computer system for a federal
agency.
• A partnership with a top healthcare provider to create a system for
managing patients.
To complete these projects on time and within budget, the company needs
to hire at least 30 junior developers in the next six months. However, even
though they did job adverts on many platforms, only a few skilled people
have applied. And this has caused them serious delays, which slow down
the projects and putting the company at risk of breaking its contracts.
