Roles we place

The talent we source

Five delivery disciplines, screened against the same standard Kratarchos applies to its own consulting work. We place individuals or assemble blended nearshore teams.

01

Business Analysts

Professionals who can elicit requirements, map processes and keep stakeholders aligned: the bridge between business intent and delivery.

02

Functional Analysts

Specialists who turn business needs into precise functional designs and specifications a build team can execute without guesswork.

03

Developers

Engineers across the relevant stacks who can build to spec, integrate cleanly and write code that the next person can maintain.

04

Testers / QA

Functional and quality-assurance testers who prove the solution does what it should, and catch what others miss before users do.

05

Solution Architects

Senior architects who keep the solution coherent, scalable and aligned to the wider enterprise landscape.

Blended teams

Need several roles at once? We assemble and coordinate a nearshore squad mapped to your programme.

Simple process

How it works

No bloated agency machine. A direct, practitioner-led process from brief to placement.

1

Brief

We agree the role, skills, seniority and the outcome you need, in business terms, not just a keyword list.

2

Source & screen

We draw on nearshore networks and screen candidates against real delivery scenarios, not just CVs.

3

Shortlist

You meet a short list of genuinely fit candidates, each with our honest read on strengths and gaps.

4

Place & support

We handle the onboarding details and stay reachable so the placement actually sticks.

The nearshore advantage

Why nearshore Europe

Offshore can mean midnight calls and lost context. Nearshore keeps the value without the friction.

Same working day

Talent in overlapping European time zones means real-time collaboration, not 12-hour round trips.

Cultural & legal fit

EU-aligned professionals who understand European business norms, GDPR and the way your teams work.

Cost that makes sense

Meaningful savings versus local hiring, without sacrificing seniority or the quality of the work.

About

Screened by someone who did the job

Most recruiters can match keywords. Few can tell whether a candidate can actually run a workshop, write a watertight spec or architect a system that lasts.

Kratarchos EU is different because the screening is led by a practitioner with 35+ years across business analysis, functional analysis and enterprise architecture. We know what "good" looks like in these roles, because we've delivered them.

Who we work with

  • European companies scaling delivery teams
  • Programmes needing BA / FA / dev / test / architecture capacity
  • Consultancies building blended nearshore squads
  • Organisations replacing costly offshore arrangements
