THE BLUEBIRD STORY
2001 - IT Contracting
Our first assignments were development projects for T-Group’s subsidiaries in Hungary and Germany in the early 2000s. Simultaneously with our initial IT Contracting service, we also carried out fixed-fee application development.
Today, in addition to testing and development tasks, we also contract design and even project management assignments.
2008 - IT Recruitment
In addition to the IT Contracting service, in 2008 IT Recruitment was created based on the need of our clients to work with a recruiter company that understands IT at a high level like Bluebird. Ever since, most of the feedbacks has been: “Finally, a recruitment company with an IT background, who understands what we’re saying.”
2012 - Bluebird Austria
In addition to projects in Germany, we founded the Austrian Bluebird in 2012 to serve the needs of our Austrian clients. We believed that for most technologies, we could find an IT specialist with whom we could perform the tasks given by our customers in Austria as well. As promised, our team still not disappoint.
2020 - IT Solutions
From 2020, we deliver our fixed-fee IT projects under the name IT Solutions. In this framework, we will provide our customers custom application development, IT management consulting, inspection, and migration of legacy systems, as well as bot and crawler development.
