Can Match.dev act as a recruitment agency for hiring engineers?

Yes, we can! Whether you’re looking to hire full-time developers or hourly-paid engineers, Match.dev provides recruitment-like services tailored to your needs. We specialize in matching startups with skilled programmers and software engineers.

How does Match.dev vet developers and engineers?

Our vetting process includes 10 hours of paid trial work to assess skills, experience, and cultural fit. This ensures our global network of software developers and engineers is composed of only top-tier talent, ready to meet your unique project needs.

Is there a minimum project size or time commitment?

Typically, our engineers prefer projects starting at at least a 10-hour-per-week engagement for long-term work. However, if you have a smaller project, don’t hesitate to contact us—we’ll do our best to find the right developer for your needs.

Is this service free?

There is a reasonable service fee built into the developer's hourly rate. You can choose to pay a flat buyout fee at any point to save on ongoing costs and work directly with the developer.

Are there any upfront costs?

No fees are required until you sign a digital contract with an engineer, and they begin working and tracking time on our platform.
