Case Study: BairesDev improves development opportunities and retention with Udemy Business
Key results
The challenge
BairesDev, a fast-growing nearshore software development company that hires from the top 1% of IT talent, faced intense competition for skilled professionals who expect strong development opportunities. Growing from 400 to 4,000 professionals in five years, its small L&D team could serve only 10–30 people at a time through workshops and needed to scale specialist technical learning across the organization.
The solution
BairesDev adopted Udemy Business to deliver on-demand technical and professional learning at scale, extending career development options across its global workforce and reducing reliance on time-constrained internal experts.
“We’ve noticed that our top performers — who are rated highest by our clients — are the ones who spend the most time learning with Udemy Business.”
