Technology talent has no ZIP code

We are your reliable partner in 10 key markets where technology talent lives

Arbitrage opportunities

Open your company doors to the exceptional talent of emerging markets for at least a 60% cost advantage. Headcount costs are the #1 problem for most US software companies

Population advantage

Unleash the power of 2M+ skilled engineers with fluent English who have limited access to US tech jobs. This is where our rigorous and automated testing process makes the difference

Remote-native talent

Remote work is no more the future of work... It became the work itself. Wast majority of our talent already has remote working experience with US tech companies, has a proven track record

Senior Software Engineers

How do we find the best of the best?

Our team hired over 4000 senior software engineers from the key markets in the last seven years. We ran over 1000 face-to-face meetings with the old software engineering talent in our key markets on-site to understand talent behavior and priorities. This is how we learned the following:

Great technology talent makes above local averages everywhere
Great technology talent values professional challenges, infrastructure investments, and an exciting product above money
Great technology talent is not interested in freelance work, regardless of the hourly rate. They prefer long-term opportunities where they can grow.
Great technology talent is willing to take the challenge. They are not afraid of getting rigorously tested and challenged.

10 Key Technology Talent Markets

We consider these as the gold mines of tech talent after 7 years of experimentation

After carefully reviewing quality in Computer Science, Software Engineering, STEM, and English education, we started experimenting to understand which markets are more likely to provide long-term, sustainable tech talent for US companies. These are the key markets (in alphabetical order) we focused on and became experts:

Latin America: Argentina, Brazil
Central Europe: Hungary, Poland
North Africa: Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia
Eastern Europe: Romania, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine
South Asia: India, Pakistan

We mapped talent marketing messages, key universities, and key local companies. We built our playbook identifying the best of the best who are likely to pass our rigorous testing and add more value to your company.

Arbitrage Opportunities

Why hiring a remote software engineer is a great idea?

For most talent markets we operate in, local salaries are meager compared to the US. As a result, these skilled engineers have limited access to challenging, high-paying US jobs. This provides a unique arbitrage opportunity for many US software companies because while a Junior Java Developer in San Francisco is charging over $100K/year, including benefits, we could get you a Chief Software Architect with fluent English and over 15 years of software engineering experience in Java for the same amount.

We’re happy to play the gate-keeper role for you and make sure you are not receiving below-average candidates through our objective testing funnel.
