Quality House was imagined as a company specializing in superior training and education in testing and quality assurance as well as outsourcing services to clients abroad. Soon after founding Quality House in early 2005, we were surprised to receive a steady number of inquiries about test specialists and we decided to dive in these uncharted waters and become pioneers in the popularization of consulting services for the Bulgarian market.”

They try to hire people that fit with the company’s culture of teamwork and being an integral part of the Quality House family.
