Testimonials
“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.”
“DistantJob took the time to talk about the job description and explore what was important to us. They came back with a great candidate on the first try!”
“I can easily say that I’ve never worked with a more dedicated, patient, and productive developer. DistantJob made the remote engagement painless. Win-win!”
“We have 3 employees from DistantJob right now. Phenomenal. For the dollar value that we are spending, we are far ahead of what we would find locally or offshore.”
“Hiring through DistantJob (…) surpassed my expectations. I had no opinion before, neither for [remote work] or against, but this experience definitely put it on the radar for me.”
“DistantJob is great for helping you find technical folks especially when your local area doesn’t have the right pool of talent for the job.”
“The remote developers presented by DistantJob] delivered a caliber of quality, skill and technical expertise, beyond my best expectations, far exceeding our local team members.”
“Working with DistantJob made everything about recruiting a highly technical employee easier and cost-effective.”
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).
Practical task (90–120 min): Live coding in OpenCart/PHP, architecture & DB review, performance troubleshooting, extension audits, and a soft-skills interview focused on communication and product thinking.
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.
