Hiring the wrong developer is one of the most expensive mistakes a growing company can make. Between recruiting costs, onboarding time, and the opportunity cost of stalled projects, a single bad hire can set you back months. That is exactly why we built a vetting process designed to remove that risk entirely.
Why only 1%?
Every month we review hundreds of applications. Less than 1% make it into our network. This is not about gatekeeping for its own sake — it is the only way to guarantee that when you work with us, you are working with someone genuinely exceptional.
The five stages
- Initial screening & background verification — we validate real-world remote experience and tooling fluency.
- Communication & soft skills — English proficiency, collaboration, and cultural adaptability.
- Technical proficiency — deep, stack-specific evaluation with practical problem solving.
- Real-time performance testing — live coding and technical interviews under realistic pressure.
- Cultural fit & time zone alignment — final check for smooth integration from day one.
We are not just matchmakers — we are engineers ourselves. We know what great looks like because we have built alongside it.
The result
By the time a developer reaches your team, they have already proven their skills, communication, and reliability. That is why we can offer a 2-week risk-free period: we are that confident in the people we send you.
