Buenos Aires, December 2023 – Epidata, a leading innovation and software development outsourcing company with a presence in Latin America and the USA, and Gestión IT, a leading Testing and Quality services company in Argentina, have agreed on an investment and strategic support plan to drive the regional growth of Gestión IT.

With the acquisition agreement, Epidata will add a new area of expertise to its offering, which is Testing and Quality in software with international certification from ISTQB® (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) to scale to new clients and services, seeking to drive the growth of Gestión IT in LATAM and the USA.

To achieve this, Epidata will deploy a comprehensive package of efforts, including direct investments in internal initiatives, assigning executives with experience in developing a robust expansion business plan, and facilitating its extensive network of world-class partners.

Regarding the agreement, Adrián Anacleto, CEO and Founder of Epidata, commented, “… the fundamental premise is to grow through collaboration, to add and leverage synergies, allowing Gestión IT to continue its growth trajectory, providing tools and seizing international opportunities.”

On the other hand, Gestión IT will remain as an Operational Unit with autonomy and independence regarding offerings, professional teams, brand, and client relationships, where the combination of investments, executive talent, and Epidata’s partner network will have a significant and sustainable impact on its business in the region.

Aligned in an integrated plan, Gestión ITt will contribute all its know-how and prestige based on Testing and Quality, especially in the Banking, Insurance, and Fintech sectors.

The daily operation of both companies will continue as before, regarding current clients and delivery teams, adding new cross-proposals of services and products. This will enable selling more to existing clients, offering them a broader range of options through the same strategic provider.

In this way, they expect to attract new large regional clients, complement service proposals, and generate more business opportunities, fostering the development of their professional teams and opening growth possibilities for Gestión IT employees.

Executives are excited about this new stage, based on the premises of continuity and growth, and they trust that it will benefit the entire ecosystem of clients, employees, and business partners alike.

At Epidata, we firmly believe in building work teams based on values such as merit, responsibility, and diversity, through policies that promote equal opportunities. And this implies understanding that work experience is no longer a determining factor when selecting new talent.

Having “X” years of work experience, in such a dynamic world as the present, does not in itself signify a value. On the contrary, it is human values and technical knowledge that determine someone’s aptitude for a position, regardless of how many years they have been working in a particular industry in the same way. 

Therefore, it becomes necessary to lead a paradigm shift in personnel selection processes, which involves ceasing to promote and conduct searches for collaborators based on the criterion of “work experience”, and beginning to focus on knowledge. 

For this reason, at Epidata we will stop considering all job offers that focus on “work experience” as valid, discriminating selection according to “time” variables. We invite you to discover why we believe that time is not a teacher. 

Time is not a teacher: values and skills are more important than work experience

The world of work is characterized enormously by a particular trait: its dynamism. We do not use the same applications, languages, or development methodologies that we did 10, 5, or even 2 years ago. After all, the pandemic has generated a change in perspective around technology, but also about the way we work. 

Since the pandemic, more and more organizations decided to build a better workplace by orienting themselves towards remote work, understanding all the virtues of productivity, efficiency, and comfort, without losing sight of the commitment to take on new innovative challenges for the market.

But are job search processes up to such a transformation? It seems not. We consider that measuring a person’s professional “value” by the years they have been doing a task does not make much sense. In the present day, evaluating work experience when hiring someone could be counterproductive. 

Having “10 years of experience” does not necessarily mean something relevant to the current industry. Does this mean that experience is worthless in the market? No, quite the opposite. According to the RAE, experience is “knowledge of something, or skill for it, acquired by having done it, lived it, felt it or suffered it one or more times.” Experience is knowledge, and the focus is on measuring knowledge, not “task years”. 

Epidata, promoting equal job opportunities since 2003

The elimination of searches based on the “years of work experience” criterion is just one of how we have been promoting equal opportunities since 2003. Since then we have worked on several things that we decided to do because we truly believe in them. 

For example, “blind CVs” is another way to avoid discrimination based on work experience, as well as sex, and other prejudices. We feel that it is a form of discrimination that has become naturalized in the market and that needs to be changed. Therefore, we emphasize and seek to ensure that there is no discrimination of any kind at Epidata.

Thus, the selection parameters for new collaborators are based solely on the company’s competencies and values. This has resulted, for example, in our management team being one of the most diverse in the market, with a mix of ages, religions, tastes, styles, nationalities, and a large majority of women.

Knowledge and Merit: The Key to Continuing to Grow in the Business World

Now, it’s time to stop discriminating based on “years of work experience”. In an increasingly changing world, where professionals have to adapt to the emergence of new technological challenges, the ability to transform and assimilate new skills becomes one of the determining factors in the workplace.

If we want to promote constant innovation in the market, guaranteeing developments that transform the lives of millions of people, it becomes essential that selection processes adapt to the current reality. This implies removing the selection criterion based on “years of experience” and replacing it with true knowledge and adaptability.

This will be one of the keys to the future of work, which will result in the creation of the best workplace in the coming years. The desire to grow and the acquisition of modern technical skills should guide future team selection processes at work because time is not a teacher.
