At Patika.dev, we are thrilled to share the success story of our 7-week iOS and Android Bootcamps, held in partnership with FMSS Bilişim, a leading technology solutions provider. This initiative provided a transformative opportunity for 13 talented candidates to kickstart their careers at FMSS Bilişim, exceeding all expectations. Here’s how we made it happen:

FMSS Bilişim empowers its clients to stay ahead in the competitive landscape by improving productivity, reducing costs, and discovering new growth opportunities. As a forward-thinking company, FMSS Bilişim is committed to fostering talent and creating a diverse and inclusive work environment.

FMSS Bilişim faced the following challenges:

1. Talent Shortage: Finding skilled iOS and Android developers was becoming increasingly difficult.
2. Efficient Hiring: Identifying candidates who not only had technical skills but also aligned with the company’s culture and values.

1. Inclusive Recruitment:
   • Received 1,861 applications for the bootcamps.
   • Selected 53 participants based on their technical skills, motivation, and potential.
2. Immersive Curriculum:

   • Supplemented learning with Patika.dev’s online courses and hands-on practices.
3. Mentorship and Support:
   • Participants received mentorship from Patika.dev alumni.
   • Gained insights into FMSS Bilişim’s company culture through regular sessions with company members.
4. Project-Based Learning:
   • Participants worked on real-world projects to apply their skills.
