Frequently asked questions

How are you different from Upwork/other dev marketplaces?

We run a thoroughly vetted, closed network of engineers. Our vetting process ensures you are matched with senior engineers with strong technical and soft skills. Unlike other platforms, you don’t need to sift through dozens of profiles and conduct numerous interviews. We will match you with the best-fitting candidate in just a matter of days.

Are you a recruitment agency?

We can help with both full-time hiring and matching you with a vetted hourly-paid engineer. So yes, we act as a developer staffing agency for hourly contracts and as a recruitment agency for full-time hires.

How do you vet developers?

We assign 10 hours of paid trial work as part of our vetting process. As a result, our global community of software engineers is carefully selected for skills, experience, and cultural fit.

What is your full-time recruitment fee for software engineers?

Our fees vary depending on the technical stack and exeprience level you are looking for. In general pricing is designed to be highly competitive and significantly lower than what traditional recruitment agencies charge. Reach out to us filling in our developer request form and we'll share a quote right away.

What is the difference between full-time and hourly hiring at Match.dev?

Full-time hiring involves a long-term commitment where developers become an integral part of your team, working exclusively on your projects. Hourly hiring is more flexible, allowing you to scale your team based on current project needs. Full-time hiring is ideal for businesses looking to build a dedicated, cohesive team for ongoing development.

Can I transition an hourly developer to a full-time role?

Yes, if you’re satisfied with the performance of an hourly developer and wish to bring them on full-time, we can facilitate that transition. This flexibility allows you to evaluate a developer’s fit and skills before committing to a full-time arrangement.

What kind of support does Match.dev provide for full-time hires?

We support the entire hiring process, from initial vetting and matching to onboarding and integration into your team. Post-hiring, we stay in touch to ensure everything is going smoothly and provide assistance if any issues arise. Our goal is to ensure a seamless experience for both you and the developer.

What happens if the full-time hire doesn’t work out?

We offer a replacement guarantee for full-time hires. If the developer doesn’t meet your expectations within the first few months, we will work with you to find a suitable replacement at no additional cost.
