We offer teams of developers with a drive to innovate and come up with effective technical solutions for your business. At TOF, we assemble the best possible team for your company and we help you get the very best out of your development team. We do this by organizing development days, boot camps and teambuilding activities.
We have professional developers, experienced in programming in different languages, working for TOF in Barcelona. TOF office is located in the heart of the city, in a vibrant area with lots of activity, offices, shops and restaurants. It is needless to say that Barcelona is a fantastic city to work and live in, as it is one of the world's leading tourist, economic, trade fair and cultural centers. In addition, Barcelona is becoming a new IT hub: many technical companies expand their business to Barcelona.
This summer TOF has opened an office in Vigo, Galicia; a city with an interesting mix of history, beautiful beaches and a modern cosmopolitan city centre. And we have plans to expand!
All developers working at TOF have excellent technical skills and a high level of English. Next to their technical skills, they have been selected on interpersonal skills, flexibility and adaptability to learn new technologies, and understanding of what it is like to work for an international company.

We would like to give you some insight into how we work at TOF. To establish your development team in Spain, we go through the following steps.
At our first contact, we will define what kind of need you have and how we can help you to enhance your development team with one or more developers. We will discuss the profile of the developer(s) that you are looking for. Then, we will start searching for candidates
We will select the best candidates for you based on technical skills, English language and personal skills, according to your needs. After the first interview with us, you will have an interview with the candidate(s) to see if there is a match. Then you decide whether or not to hire the candidate(s) after which we will take care of all contract responsibilities.
The developer(s) will visit you and will get an introduction to your business. We will arrange a professional workplace and we will setup a developing infrastructure. The workflow between you and the developer(s) will be agreed upon.
The developer(s) will be guided on a daily basis by a Dutch technical manager. Also, regular calls / Skype sessions will be held with the development team in the Netherlands and the developer(s) working from Spain and a weekly update on the progress will be given, everything, of course, according to your specific business needs.

An example of such a solution is a smart app for children with a disorder. Using the smart app, the freedom of these children is greatly enhanced and besides this, valuable data can be collected to obtain more insights on the disorder.
