Challenge
As far as recruiting most of the team was relatively easy, the main challenge we faced was finding a Python AQA developer within a very short time frame.
This position is considered to be rather rare on the market. What made things slightly even more challenging that a candidate also had to fit additional criteria: previous experience with the banking industry.

Solution
Since finding the right Python AQA specialist that would match all the listed requirements seemed somewhat risky, we came up with an alternative solution.
Rather than recruiting a Python AQA specialist, we suggested our client hire an experienced AQA specialist (without deep expertise in Python) and another Python developer that would act like a mentor. Since our client was eager to start the project as soon as possible, he was totally happy with the solution that we proposed.
