What you'll source
📚 From top universities in Eastern Europe
We handpick candidates from the most rigorous technical programs in Eastern Europe — institutions known for producing mathematically-minded, disciplined engineers. These are people trained to think deeply and solve problems under pressure.
💻 Experienced in trading, system-level C++, Rust, ML infra
Our network includes engineers who’ve built infrastructure for HFT firms, crypto protocols, and low-latency ML pipelines. They understand performance at the system level — not just product development.
🦌 Passive talents who are not looking for any project
We unlock access to talent that isn’t on the market. These engineers aren’t scrolling job boards — they only switch for technical ownership, meaningful problems, and real team culture. We know how to find them, engage them, and close them.

Testimonials
Testimonials from our customers
I collaborated with FR to assemble a key team for our EVM virtual machine. Finding Rust developers with expertise in low-level programming, backend systems, and high-load clusters was a challenging task. Despite the difficulty, the FKS team quickly found four motivated and highly skilled candidates who met all our requirements.
Artem and his team helped us find a Python developer with deep knowledge of FastAPI for a high-stakes startup. Their approach—seeking Rust developers willing to transition to Python—helped us find a leader with strong fundamentals in distributed systems
Most of our TypeScript developers were recruited through FKS. Their speed and service quality are unmatched, and many hires have become leaders within our company, significantly boosting team productivity
