How do we find the best of the best?

Our team hired over 4000 senior software engineers from the key markets in the last 7 years. We ran over 1000 face-to-face meetings with the senior software engineering talent in our key markets on-site just 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 a careful review of quality in Computer Sciences, 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
• Eastern Europe: Romania, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine 
• South Asia: India, Pakistan

We mapped talent marketing messages, key universities, and key local companies and 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 of the talent markets we are operating in, local salaries are meager compared to the US. 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
