Odesa.co Rebrand Marks Expansion into Full Tech Talent Platform
Odesa.co, formerly Hire Odesa, announced its rebrand to reflect its evolution from a staffing firm into a comprehensive tech talent platform. The company now delivers custom software development, white-label backend services for agencies, and dedicated tech support for venture-backed startups.
“When we launched, Hire Odesa described our mission to connect firms with top developers,” said Val Narodetsky, Founder and CEO. “Today, we build products, power agency operations, and partner with VCs to support portfolio companies. The rebrand to Odesa.co reflects this expanded vision.”
Strong Growth Drives New Business Model
Odesa.co reports rapid expansion across four core business lines. The company maintains a 94% client retention rate across 35 active companies, with deal sizes nearly tripling in the past year. Having placed over 120 developers while staying profitable, Odesa.co has proven its model at scale.
Custom software development now represents a significant share of revenue, with Odesa.co managing projects from architecture to deployment. Digital agencies increasingly use Odesa.co’s white-label services to scale delivery capacity without managing offshore teams directly.
Venture firms and accelerators also embed Odesa.co access into portfolio support programs, recognizing that reliable technical execution often determines startup outcomes. This model multiplies opportunities across entire investment portfolios.
Meeting the Technical Talent Shortage
The expansion comes amid record demand for technical talent. CompTIA reports over 400,000 unfilled tech roles in the U.S., while the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 15% growth in software developer jobs by 2034. Mid-market firms often struggle to compete with tech giants on compensation, making Odesa.co’s model is a vital solution.
Eastern Europe provides a competitive advantage. Ukraine, Poland, and Romania produce 200,000+ STEM graduates annually, with Ukrainian developers ranked among the global top five. Odesa.co’s vetting process ensures fewer than 3% of applicants qualify, passing technical, English, and cultural fit evaluations. This selectivity drives long-term client retention and confidence.
Technology Infrastructure and Specialization
Odesa.co has invested in advanced technology infrastructure to streamline recruiting. Features include AI-powered candidate matching, automated technical assessments, integrated billing, and real-time performance analytics.
Looking ahead, Odesa.co is developing specialist teams in AI, machine learning, blockchain, Web3, cybersecurity, data engineering, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure. The firm is also establishing partnerships with Eastern European universities to secure a sustainable pipeline of top-tier technical talent.
