IT Camp

What IT Camp does

IT Camp is a boutique IT recruitment and Executive Search agency headquartered in Riga, Latvia, founded in 2015. The firm specializes in placing technical talent — from mid/senior engineers to executive-level positions such as CTO, CIO, Head of Engineering, and VP of Engineering — for IT, product, and SaaS companies. The company claims 1000+ tech specialists and IT leaders placed across 15 countries over its operating history, with a stated 99% successful cases rate and a 10+ year track record.

The core service is contingency-based IT recruitment, supported by a 3-month replacement guarantee and a commitment to deliver 3–5 candidate resumes within one month. The firm's technical infrastructure centers on a proprietary internal candidate database that is updated daily, combined with a psychological profiling system used to assess candidate fit and detect truthfulness in interviews. Adjacent offerings include Executive Search for senior IT leadership, relocation support via a partnership with gotolatvia.lv, corporate education and consultation, and a 200 EUR referral program that sources candidates through a wider network of recruiting professionals.

The business model is professional services / contingency recruitment, with fees generated on successful placements. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, with vacancy briefs submitted via website forms or direct contact through LinkedIn and Telegram. The client base spans enterprise and mid-market names including SEB Banka, Swisscom, Sun Finance, Eurofins Genomics, Mogo, DiscoverCarHire, 28Stone Riga, and Forevers HR. The firm is privately held as a Latvian SIA with a small core team. In 2024, IT Camp secured LIAA (Latvian Investment and Development Agency) co-financing under an EU/ERDF export support program to develop international markets, indicating a formal push beyond its domestic base.
