Project
Boundaryless is a consulting firm that helps businesses drive digital transformation. Their focus areas include advanced analytics & data forensics, intelligent automation, and test automation, supporting companies with process optimization, AI, and RPA solutions.
For fast-growing companies like Boundaryless, having the right people in the right roles is crucial. But hiring specialized talent can be time-consuming and overwhelming.
In July 2024, they needed a UiPath RPA Developer—but not just any developer. This role required someone with deep RPA expertise and fluency in German or Dutch. The demand for RPA developers is already high and finding this combination was nearly impossible. Local talent wasn’t an option, and traditional hiring methods would take over three months—far too long for their needs.
That’s when they turned to Index.dev. As Erik Gillet, Founder & CEO of Boundaryless Group, put it: "We needed great talent in a super rare tech stack, someone who spoke German fluently—and we needed it fast."
Challenge
Finding a UiPath RPA Developer is already difficult. Finding one with deep expertise in RPA, AI, and .NET—who also speaks fluent German or Dutch? That makes the search even harder.
Hiring for such a highly-specialized role typically takes months. Traditional hiring methods struggle when the requirements are this specific—advanced technical skills combined with fluency in multiple languages.
To make things even more complex, this was a part-time engagement. Attracting qualified talent willing to commit under these conditions was another hurdle. That’s where Index.dev came in.
Solution
From the moment Boundaryless reached out, Index.dev took a strategic, hands-on approach to solve their hiring challenge:
- Targeted Talent Search: Leveraging its pre-vetted global talent network, Index.dev quickly identified UiPath RPA developers who met the technical and language requirements.
- Efficient Screening Process: The matching team conducted rigorous vetting, ensuring only the most qualified candidates were presented. It took just two screenings to find the desired candidate.
- Dedicated Support: A dedicated account manager handled onboarding, addressed initial engagement challenges, managed communication, and provided continuous support to both Boundaryless and the developer.
What could have taken months was reduced to just 3 days. “With Index.dev, we had candidates within days—and they were great. It wasn’t about filtering out unqualified candidates; it was about picking the best from the best,” said Erik.
Impact
Boundaryless turned to Index.dev as a strategic partner for this critical hire. Traditional recruitment agencies were too slow and costly, but Index.dev delivered speed, precision, and support:
- Speed to Hire: What could have taken months was done in days. Boundaryless quickly found Pelin, a highly skilled RPA developer fluent in German, exactly what they needed.

The assigned talent, Pelin, strengthened automation at Boundaryless by designing scalable UiPath solutions, improving efficiency, and ensuring high-quality, maintainable code. She captured and analyzed process requirements, led testing, and resolved technical issues to keep projects on track.
