FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Employment model — Our developers work full-time from our office. They're not juggling five other clients while trying to finish your project.
Oversight — We handle the infrastructure, HR, and day-to-day management. You get someone who shows up and ships work without needing to chase them down.
Trial structure — 3-month pilot. If it works, great. If it doesn't, you're not locked in. No bidding process, no guessing if someone's portfolio matches reality, no wondering if they'll disappear halfway through.
We usually present a shortlist within a few weeks. If we already have matching profiles, you may see candidates sooner.
