“DJ is phenomenal. They find amazing candidates, make hiring extraordinary devs easy. Think of it as having a top recruiter, HR, and payroll departments in dozens of countries.”
Finding exceptional Clojure developers in North America is like searching for unicorns: rare, expensive, and often already taken. At DistantJob, we headhunt elite Clojure developers from Eastern Europe and Latin America, regions where exceptional talent costs significantly less, but the quality is exceptional.

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.
We dive deep into your technical stack, team culture, and business objectives. We’re not order-takers—we’re strategic hiring partners who understand what success looks like.
Our recruiters actively approach Clojure developers working at top companies. We present your opportunity, your vision, and why they should consider joining your team.
We conduct technical interviews, code reviews, and system design evaluations. Only the top 3% of candidates make it to your interview stage.
We handle contract negotiations, equipment setup, and onboarding logistics. Your developer shows up ready to contribute from day one.
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).
Every Clojure developer we present has:
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.

With over a decade of experience, our screening team targets timezone-friendly areas to find English-speaking candidates with expertise in international projects and US quality standards.

And you can trust your dev team with critical tasks and data management since your in-house developers won’t have other clients or projects on their plate.

Analyzing your company culture, we test technical and communication skills to fulfill your company’s needs. We select vetted and handpick candidates for you, cutting down hiring costs and increasing your performance over time.
