We are Grow Up. We help you add experienced developers to your in-house team through recruiting, remote collaboration, relocation and outsourcing.
Our company has been formed in Sarajevo and Delaware US in 2016 but the founders have more than 30 years of experience in the software development industry in Bosnia & Herzegovina. From a small team of 2 people (just the founders) the company grew to more than 10 people directly employed in the company in 2017 and more than 30 developers recruited or outstaffed.
Grow Up started out as a software development company creating its own products for the Worldwide market, but we soon realized that our clients wanted more control over the development process than the outsourcing model could offer.
So we switched gears to provide a different cooperation model — tech recruitment and outstaffing that allows you to personally choose the engineers you want to work with and communicate with them directly, while we take care of every other issue related to having remote employees.
We concentrated our main development capacities in Bosnia & Herzegovina due to its abundance of highly qualified IT professionals, ease of doing business and really low corporate taxes.
We still recruit the best talent for them
Loyal and happy developers
We setup a company, consolidate financials, take care of administration
Everything is cost efficient
We connect you with talented Bosnian developers, set up your development team in a development center maintained by us, and provide all-round support to you and your developers.
The Bosnian web developers and software engineers you hire with us become full-time members of your team. They work exclusively for you and follow your established practices for development.
Based on your requirements we can create dedicated remote developer teams in one of two models.
Setting up a fully owned subsidiary of your company in Bosnia & Herzegovina and perform classic recruiting for your business. You manage your team directly, without any third-party interference
(within 4 weeks)
Setting up a dedicated offshore development team. We have developers skilled in a range of technologies, from popular solutions to less commonly used languages
(in 4-6 weeks)
You and your team are supported by our service delivery specialists, system administrators, travel agents, office managers and accountants, who take care of payroll and taxes for your software developers. The only thing you need to care about is the development of your software — everything else is on us.
Not yet another IT recruiting company
You deserve to work with talented engineers who share your corporate culture and values — and we are here to help you find them. We connect you with skilled Bosnian software developers through remote collaboration, and continue to support you and your software development team in every way, making sure your partnership is effective and long-lasting.
We also offer a wide range of extra services aimed at boosting your team’s performance and work quality even further. These include advanced Agile training, DevOps consulting, code review, and much more besides.
Grow Up’s development practices truly reflect our mission and values, and our mission and values make us the best at what we do. We, as a company, transform the way software is delivered. We embrace challenges and constantly strive to improve our technical skills. Grow Up is known for helping turn ideas into profits by listening and working closely with you and by adhering to agile development theories.
We work to make sure your developers are happy by providing them with everything they need to pursue their passion.

Team Retention OR How To Have Happy and Loyal Team
You certainly are aware how important it is to establish a long-lasting cooperation with your team. This is why, in addition to providing fully-equipped work stations and managing office space, we aim to make sure you and your team fit perfectly, and take special care to retain each developer you hire with us.
We know that the number one reason remote teams fall apart is lack of clear communication. To help you build an open and productive relationship with your team, we assign a dedicated HR/Client Manager who is always in touch with both sides and is ready to solve any communication issues proactively.
Your HR/Client Manager’s responsibilities include: conducting performance reviews of your engineers; evaluating their job satisfaction after a month, two months, six months, and a year after the start of their employment, and biannually if your cooperation extends beyond 12 months; analyzing your feedback regarding their work quality and professional growth; discussing things you are happy with as well as those you believe should be improved.
And to create a comfortable, friendly work environment and give your developers the opportunity to bond, we organize regular team building activities and throw two large corporate parties every year.
We connect you with skilled Bosnian software developers through remote collaboration, and continue to support you and your software development team in every way, making sure your partnership is effective and long-lasting
