01 · Starting point
Velia wanted to expand infrastructure and backend capacity quickly, with profiles that work in sync with the team in Germany every day.
Case studies / Case study · Serbia · Managed Team
A DevOps and .NET backend team in Serbia, built in up to five weeks.
For Velia we built a six-person team in Serbia: three DevOps engineers and three .NET backend developers. From the first call to a team ready to work took up to five weeks. The team works in the same time zone as Berlin.

The case
How it went.
02 · Challenge
DevOps and .NET profiles are in demand everywhere. We needed people who understand both operations and code, work in the same window as Germany, and cleanly arranged data protection outside the EU.
03 · Solution
We searched in Belgrade, pre-screened DevOps and .NET profiles and presented a shortlist. Velia interviewed and decided; Adeo employs through its own Serbian entity, including a data processing agreement and EU standard contractual clauses for data transfer.
- 3DevOps engineers
- 3.NET backend developers
04 · Result
Within five weeks the team of three DevOps engineers and three .NET backend developers was ready to work, in the same time zone as Berlin. Velia sets the professional requirements and priorities, Adeo leads and coordinates the team day to day.
How it evolves
By hand. With AI. With agents.
The same task in three stages: how we used to build teams, how we build them today and where it is heading. The decision stays with people.
Then
By hand
- Search through network, referrals and job boards
- Screening in calls and interviews
- Contract and onboarding set up one by one
For example: VeliaSearch in Belgrade through network and referrals, technical pre-screening in conversation, contracts and data protection paperwork by hand.
Today
AI-assisted
- AI searches profiles and sources
- AI builds the pre-selection and matches it against the role profile
- Humans decide: our recruiters check, you choose
For example: VeliaAI matches DevOps and .NET experience against the role profile and prepares the pre-selection. Our recruiters check the technical side, Velia decides.
Next
Fully automated
- AI agents approach candidates and keep building the pool
- Agents ask you about the upcoming work
- Agents match the two, the Adeo team checks every match
For example: VeliaAgents approach suitable infrastructure profiles in Serbia, ask Velia about upcoming work and propose the match.
Stage 3 is in development. Agents only work with the consent of candidates and under the supervision of the Adeo team.
