For Prague & Czech Republic Companies
Prague's technology companies
understand engineering quality ,
and are building India teams to match it.
Engineering, AI, and leadership talent. Placed right.
For Prague and Czech companies hiring in India, the product-engineering culture is exceptional: Avast (NortonLifeLock), Kiwi.com, Mall Group, and Productboard have built Prague into Central Europe's strongest technology product market. Czech engineering culture is notable for its depth-first orientation, an orientation that produces specific India hiring requirements and a natural fit with Talhive's assessment-first approach.

COMPANIES WE HAVE PLACED FOR
The searches that failed before us
had three things in common.
Most Prague teams that reach Talhive have already tried. Posted on LinkedIn and got applications with no signal. Used a contingent agency and got volume CVs with no technical depth. Tried to run the search without anyone who understands India's notice periods, competing offers, and motivation structures. Talhive exists for teams that need the search done once, done right, by a partner who owns the outcome end to end.
Job-board posts do not reach engineers who are not actively looking but would move for the right mandate.
Offer-stage dropouts are a motivation problem, not a compensation one. The process never surfaced what matters.
60 to 90 day notice periods mean counteroffers land after your process ends. Without a retention strategy, the candidate walks.
3 Principal AI Engineers, Writesonic
A prior agency and six months of inbound had produced zero hires. Talhive identified that the real talent pool for production LLM roles sat inside platform teams at Google and Amazon, not among self-labelled AI engineers on LinkedIn. We rebuilt the sourcing thesis around deployment evidence and closed all three within 6 weeks.
Roles we place for Prague companies.
Security platform, endpoint protection, and threat intelligence engineers
Prague's Avast and NortonLifeLock legacy creates cybersecurity engineering mandates that require security-specific domain depth. India's cybersecurity engineering community in Bengaluru and Hyderabad is searchable through targeted outreach to security-specialised engineers. View role profile
Flight search, pricing systems, and real-time travel inventory engineers
Kiwi.com's flight search infrastructure creates travel technology mandates, search algorithms, pricing engine, and real-time inventory management. India's MakeMyTrip, Cleartrip, and EaseMyTrip alumni are the natural sourcing target. View role profile
Productboard-profile product management tools and enterprise SaaS engineering
Prague's B2B and product-led SaaS community creates standard enterprise engineering mandates well-served by Hyderabad's enterprise alumni and Pune's cost-efficient B2B SaaS engineering pool. View role profile
