FAQ
The name and profile of the organisation will be disclosed during the interview process to protect the confidentiality of our client. As the recruitment agent, we prioritise safeguarding our client’s interests and preventing direct contact. This approach ensures a smooth and professional recruitment process for all parties involved.
The timeline depends on our partner’s needs, but things can move quickly. If you successfully pass the interview, vetting, and selection process, you could start working within one to two weeks after initial contact, especially if the partner has an urgent requirement for a developer.
While some partners might request live coding or whiteboard exercises, this isn’t part of our standard vetting. Instead, we focus on open-ended technical questions specific to the role. For instance, in a React.js position, we might ask you to compare function components with hooks versus class components.
For this role, we only hire developers with several years of experience, as our partners expect them to hit the ground running on large projects that involve complex codebases.
The rate you will receive is determined at the end of the application process and is based on your experience, communication skills, leadership abilities, and overall expertise. While this depends on you, we will also strive to negotiate the best possible rate, which often matches or exceeds market rates.
Because you are hired as a full-time contractor, you’ll need to take care of your own taxes. If this is your first time doing so, we recommend you get the advice of a qualified tax advisor to understand the requirements of your country.
