Three Ways to Hire

No upfront payments, no hidden fees. Every figure below is a starting point — the exact rate depends on the developer’s country, seniority and stack, and we quote a specific number after a short call. If someone isn’t the right fit in the first week, we part ways at no cost to you.

Common questions

Are there any setup or onboarding fees?

No. Outstaffing is a single monthly rate per developer and nothing is charged before they start. Direct Recruitment is a success fee that is only due once the hire begins.

Why “from” — what changes the rate?

Three things: the developer’s country, their seniority, and the tech stack. A senior engineer in a niche stack costs more than a mid-level generalist. We send you a specific number for a specific candidate, so there is never a surprise on the invoice.

How much of the rate does the developer actually receive?

Around 80%. The rest covers local taxes, benefits, equipment, payroll and compliance administration, and our fee.

What happens if the developer leaves?

For Outstaffing, we find a replacement and onboard them; you are only billed for the time someone is actually on your team. Direct Recruitment hires are covered by a 90-day replacement guarantee.

Can I switch between options?

Yes. A common path is to start with CV Database Access to see who is out there, then hand a shortlist to us for Direct Recruitment or Outstaffing.

Is there a minimum contract length?

No lock-in. Outstaffing runs month to month with 1-day notice during the 3-month trial, and the CV Database subscription can be cancelled at any time.
