Who hires developers from us

Product companies, agencies and businesses with a system to keep moving, who need engineering capacity for months rather than days.

Developers across the technologies listed on this page, by junior, mid or senior level.

Hourly work, a monthly developer, a dedicated team, or a fixed-price project where the job has an end.

Recruiting, employment, equipment, line management and HR handled by us, with the work directed by you.

How this differs from a freelancer or a marketplace

A marketplace introduces you to a person. Here the developer is employed and managed by us, while the priorities stay with you.

We are the employer

Recruiting, employment, equipment, line management and HR sit with us. You do not need an entity, a payroll or an office in India.

Proof at team scale

For about three years we recruited, employed and managed 14 to 15 PHP developers who worked only on a Dubai technology company's products, and the client directed their work.

The rest of the agency behind them

If the job turns into an upgrade, a migration or a new build, the same company can scope it and quote a fixed price after assessing it.

Hiring through us suits you when...

  • You have a steady backlog and someone to set priorities
  • You run a product or an agency and need capacity for months, not days
  • You want a shared working window of 3–5 hours with your UK or European team, or US calls by appointment
  • You would rather pay a known monthly rate than recruit in another country
  • Not a fit if you have one job with a clear end. A fixed-price project will usually cost you less
