As a leading remote IT recruitment agency, we care that our clients take part throughout the hiring process. Why? Because for us, hiring a qualified candidate is not only about the skills and abilities, but it’s also about how candidates match with your company’s culture.
As soon as you talk with us or fill our form, the first thing we do is analyze your company. We want to understand your culture and the type of people you value working with.
In 2 weeks, you’ll start reviewing people that match your requirements. We focus on providing you 3-5 top candidates instead of giving you an endless list.
Once you select the candidate, we handle all the contracts, NDA’s and payments from day 1.
We proactively source across global markets and triage applicants based on their expertise, salary band, U.S. time-zone overlap, English fluency, and long-term availability.
A recruiter assesses English proficiency, async communication, culture add, motivation, and availability. We verify work history and stability (no serial short stints).
Our internal technical leads vet them personally, testing their logic, code efficiency, and problem-solving skills, so you only see the top 1%.
Senior engineers run a live session to walk through design trade-offs, testing approach, and deployment basics.
We speak with past stakeholders and review code artifacts where possible. We confirm achievements, ownership level, and reliability in distributed teams.
We align on start date, hardware/security constraints, preferred collaboration tools, and, when needed, relocation logistics inside the US.
