Partner for tech teams

Strong tech teams don'thappen by accident.

We handle hiring and onboarding, then keep developing people: in mental resilience, technical leadership and effective work with AI.

  1. HirePeople who truly fit your team.
  2. AdaptThe first 90 days decide.
  3. DevelopMindset, craft and tools.

Situations we solve.

Sometimes you need to find one key person. Other times to develop skills, remove performance barriers or bring AI into everyday work. We can start at any point.

  • develop · Pairing for tech leads

    A tech lead or architect faces a decision that will last years and has no one to properly stress-test it with.

    A hands-on partner to go through the proposal in depth before you commit to it.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    Choosing a platform, what to do with the monolith, vendor lock-in or how to build with AI. The decision has a long reach, there's no independent view inside the company, and a large consultancy would be slow and expensive.

    How we work

    1. In an intro call we name the decision and what really matters in it.
    2. We go through options, trade-offs and risks with someone who has handled similar situations for 20+ years.
    3. If useful, we follow up with regular sessions or short check-ins.

    What you get

    A decision you stand behind, and a partner for the next hard moment.

    More about this service
  • develop · New tech lead

    You promoted a senior to tech lead, and a great engineer turned into an overloaded manager.

    A hands-on mentor who walks them through the first months in the new role.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    The new tech lead still writes the most code on the team, decisions wait on them and the team lacks direction.

    How we work

    1. We clarify what the new role expects and where it's stalling today.
    2. A mentor works with them on delegation, decision making and technical leadership.
    3. We check progress on concrete situations in the team.

    What you get

    A tech lead who leads the team instead of doing everything for it.

    More about this service
  • hire · Executive search

    You need a senior specialist that regular job ads won't reach.

    Targeted search, expert qualification and running the whole process up to the offer.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    The role is critical, the profile is rare and neither your network nor job ads bring relevant candidates.

    How we work

    1. We clarify the real profile of the role and why a candidate should care.
    2. We map the market and approach specific people directly.
    3. We verify motivation, experience and fit with the team environment.

    What you get

    Qualified candidates and a transparent process from first contact to offer.

    More about this service
  • develop · Coaching

    A senior or lead under pressure is losing focus, energy or confidence.

    Working with state, mental habits and barriers that block full potential.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    The person has experience, but pressure, overload or inner doubt stop them using it when it matters.

    How we work

    1. We capture the triggers and situations where performance drops.
    2. We work with state, attention and specific mental habits.
    3. We test the change in real work situations.

    What you get

    Better ability to handle pressure, stay focused and decide well in demanding moments.

  • hire · Contractors

    Your team lacks capacity or expertise for an important project phase.

    A vetted contractor for exactly as long as you need their experience.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    You need to add capacity fast, bridge a period or get expertise that doesn't make sense to keep permanently.

    How we work

    1. We define the required contribution, seniority and timeframe.
    2. We pick a contractor based on real experience with a similar situation.
    3. We set expectations, team integration and ongoing feedback.

    What you get

    Flexible reinforcement with a clear brief and clear ownership.

    More about this service
  • adapt · Onboarding

    A new specialist has started, but unclear onboarding slows them down.

    We name the obstacles early and help align expectations between specialist and manager.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    In the first weeks there is no clear brief, missing contacts or no access to information.

    How we work

    1. Engagement Radar maps how onboarding goes and the concrete obstacles.
    2. With the specialist's consent we pass relevant findings to the manager or HR.
    3. We recommend onboarding changes and next steps for team integration.

    What you get

    Clearer expectations and concrete steps for a smoother ramp-up.

    More about this service
  • adapt · Retention

    Someone does the job, but is losing motivation, meaning or a sense of impact.

    Engagement Radar spots warning signs and opens room for concrete change.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    Routine, unclear direction or lack of support weaken a person's engagement.

    How we work

    1. We talk about motivation, performance blockers and team integration.
    2. We separate temporary uncertainty from topics that need attention.
    3. With the specialist's consent we recommend concrete steps to the manager.

    What you get

    Risks caught early and a clear basis for the next conversation and support.

    More about this service
  • develop · Engineering mentoring

    A senior wants to keep growing, but the company has no next step or mentor for them.

    Mentoring with a practitioner who knows the road to staff and principal roles.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    An experienced engineer has hit a ceiling, has no one to learn from internally and is starting to look elsewhere.

    How we work

    1. We clarify the goal: technical depth, influence across teams, or leading people.
    2. We work on real situations: designs, decisions, disagreeing with architects.
    3. We check progress against concrete results at work.

    What you get

    A senior who grows with you, not with your competitor.

    More about this service
  • develop · Team

    The team is capable, but communication or long-term friction holds it back.

    Naming the real barrier and practical work on relationships, agreements and team behavior.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    Individuals are capable, but the team keeps returning to the same conflicts, unclear agreements or shifting ownership.

    How we work

    1. We separate visible symptoms from the real barrier.
    2. We involve the right people and name concrete patterns of behavior.
    3. We set new agreements and test them directly at work.

    What you get

    Clearer collaboration, clearer ownership and less energy lost in repeated friction.

    More about this service
  • develop · AI training

    People are curious about AI, but don't know where to start or what is safe.

    Practical training built around roles, experience levels and your company environment.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    The team needs a shared foundation, orientation in tools and a safe way to get started with AI.

    How we work

    1. We tailor content to roles, experience and company rules.
    2. We show AI on tasks people actually do.
    3. Participants try the workflows right away and take them back to work.

    What you get

    A shared language, concrete use cases and more confident first steps without tech theater.

    More about this service
  • develop · AI adoption

    You already have AI tools, but usage ends with a few enthusiasts.

    Choosing meaningful use cases, new work habits and support when rolling them out.

    Expand

    When it makes sense

    Tools are available, but usage is random, isolated and brings no visible change to everyday work.

    How we work

    1. We find activities where AI has real benefit and acceptable risk.
    2. With selected people we design and test new workflows.
    3. We spread the experience through internal ambassadors and support.

    What you get

    Proven workflows and adoption built on usefulness, not on the number of licenses bought.

    More about this service

One partner. Three capabilities.

coachit connects hiring, onboarding and development into one system. We don't start by picking a service. We start with a question: what is stopping your team from working better today? Based on the answer we bring in one capability, or a combination.

  1. 01

    Hire

    Hiring that thinks about what happens after signing.

    We find experienced tech specialists for permanent and contract roles, with the emphasis on real fit rather than matching keywords. And for everyone we place, we look after the first 90 days.

    How we recruit
  2. 02

    Adapt

    The first 90 days decide whether a new hire stays.

    Engagement Radar shows early what is slowing onboarding down, before it turns into a resignation during probation. Free for people we placed, a standalone service for your own new hires.

    What Radar catches early

    In practiceAn experienced developer overheard that new people are “just extra hands” and quietly withdrew. Radar caught it before he started looking for another job.How Engagement Radar works
  3. 03

    Develop

    Mindset, craft and AI.

    We develop what decides performance: mental resilience under pressure, technical leadership and decision making with a hands-on mentor, and meaningful work with AI.

    How mental training works

Expertise, not theory.

Each area is led by someone with hands-on experience. No generic trainers. No junior middlemen.

Founder of coachit · mental performance coach

Mgr. Michal Hodulík, MSc.

For more than ten years I've worked with IT people, their teams and managers: in recruiting, as a key account manager and as a business unit manager. Again and again I saw that a good hire doesn't end with the signature: people leave because of what happens in the first months, and performance is held back by the mind more often than by tech skills.

That's why coachit connects recruiting, onboarding care and development: mental training built on performance psychology and mental coaching, and technical mentoring with practitioners. So good people don't just join you, they stay and grow. I believe performance and wellbeing don't compete, they go hand in hand.

Our performance model

A team is a system.

Hiring without development is not enough. Technical skills without mental resilience do not scale. AI without new habits stays just a tool. Our performance model draws on performance psychology and management psychology.

State
How much of their ability a person can actually use at a given moment. Focus, energy, confidence. We strengthen it with mental training.
Skills and experience
Technical and human capabilities we develop deliberately. From architecture and team leadership in mentoring to working with AI.
Barriers
Friction in a person, team or system that needlessly drains performance. Unclear briefs, waiting, unspoken conflicts. Engagement Radar catches them early.

The result is not a series of isolated workshops. It is change people can carry into their everyday work.

Engagement RadarWe measure state and barriers for real people. The output is a report with recommended steps.Engineering mentoringSkills no course teaches: architecture, decision making and team leadership with a practitioner.

We start with a conversation, not a service pitch.

We don't walk in with a big project. In an intro call we name what's holding your team back today and start where it has the biggest impact.

  1. 01

    We name what holds the team back

    A missing person, a rough start, people under pressure, or a decision without a sparring partner. A short call, no sales pitch.

    Output: A clear first step

  2. 02

    We start where it hurts most

    We find a person (first relevant candidates usually within a week), look after onboarding, or develop the people you already have.

    Output: A concrete change

  3. 03

    We extend support

    Engagement Radar, mental training, mentoring or AI training. Only where it improves the team's performance.

    Output: A stronger team
