Our 5-Stage Vetting Process

Every developer on our platform has passed one of the most rigorous screening processes in the industry. Here is exactly what it looks like.

Stage 1

Application Review

Every applicant is screened for experience, education, portfolio quality, and tech-stack depth. We review GitHub profiles, past projects, and career trajectory.

Technical Assessment

Real-world coding challenge matching production scenarios, followed by a live code review where candidates explain their architectural decisions and trade-offs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our process, vetting, and guarantees.

How long does it take to get a developer on my team?

Most clients have a developer fully onboarded and productive within 15 business days. If you need someone faster, we can often match urgent requests within 5-7 days from our pre-vetted bench of available developers.

What happens if a developer does not work out?

We offer a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. If a developer is not the right fit for any reason during this period, we will provide a free replacement within 48 hours. After the guarantee period, replacements are still free -- we just ask for 2 weeks notice to find the best match.

How rigorous is your vetting process?

Extremely rigorous. Only 2.8% of applicants make it through our 5-stage process, which includes application review, live English assessment, real-world coding challenges with live code review, AI-tools proficiency testing, and background verification. This is stricter than most FAANG interview processes.

Do I get to interview the developers before they join?

Absolutely. We present 3-5 pre-vetted candidates for you to interview. You choose who joins your team. We handle scheduling and provide interview guides, but the final decision is always yours.

What are your pricing and contract terms?

Plans start at $1,800/month for a dedicated developer. All pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. Contracts are month-to-month -- no long-term commitments required. You can scale up or down with 30 days notice.

How do you ensure developers stay up to date with AI tools?

Every developer goes through our proprietary AI-tools training program covering GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, and emerging tools. We run monthly workshops and track AI-assisted productivity metrics. Our developers ship 40-60% more code compared to teams without AI integration.

What timezone do your developers work in?

Our LATAM developers work in timezones ranging from GMT-3 to GMT-6, providing 4-8 hours of direct overlap with US business hours. Most of our talent is in Mexico and Colombia, sharing the same timezone as US Central and Eastern time.

Can I hire a full team, not just one developer?

Yes. Many clients start with one developer and scale to full teams. We can assemble complete squads -- frontend, backend, DevOps, QA -- that work together cohesively. Our Growth plan (2-3 developers) and Scale plan (full dedicated team) are designed for this.
