Hire Remote
Developers

With a vast choice, companies may struggle to find the right hire for the job role. It also takes weeks to secure the best candidate with the needed combination of hands-on experience, domain knowledge, and soft skills.

Although each job position has specific requirements, some universal selection approaches increase the odds of landing your ideal candidate in the market. These include:
• Having a thorough understanding of your project (scope, core technologies, must-have features, estimated timeline, and other facets).
• Creating a high-converting job posting and distributing it through multiple channels.
• Setting up a structured interview process that allows you to look into specific skills and prior experience.
• Ask about a candidate’s past projects but do not base your choice on prior experience only.

The average costs of recruiting remote talent vary greatly based on the location and seniority levels. For example, a US-based developer may cost you up to $200 per hour, while Southern Asia has a lower hourly compensation of around $8–10. Poland seems to be a middle ground with average hourly rates of $40–90 for mid-level and senior developers.

There are no ultimate outsourcing destinations for all companies. While most locations share the same goal of providing an environment that is conducive to business, they differ in terms of their strengths and weaknesses.

Your choice of an outsourcing destination should hinge on the following factors:
• The average labor and development costs should be lower than your in-house team expenses, including benefits and staff support and workspace costs.
• Availability of skilled talent — the chosen location must have a high-quality education and a large number of well-trained developers.
• English proficiency is a must for a successful collaboration.
• The vendor’s corporate culture should align with your management and communication styles.
• The time zone should be similar to or adjacent to your location (at least 2 to 3 hours of overlap).

Outsourcing software development is a commonplace practice for businesses of all sizes that look to innovate without huge upfront investment. However, where can you find a reputable outsourcing vendor? Below, you’ll find the most popular venues for mature outsourcing providers.

Tech recruitment platforms
Hiring platforms are typically B2B aggregators that allow companies to get in touch with software companies or individual developers. The recruitment platform takes over all the research and expertise validation and simply lists relevant candidates based on your criteria.

Clutch
Clutch includes a directory of leading IT, marketing, and business services companies. Clients can assess potential partners based on client testimonials, case studies, and industry data. The platform publishes only verified client reviews and gathers business registration information to confirm the company is registered and active. Clutch offers an unbiased view by posting both positive and negative feedback.

Business of Apps
Mobile app development service providers publish their profiles on Business of Apps. This platform aggregates and posts leading app development companies on its marketplace. Each vendor profile is a comprehensive collection of company data, reviews, and relevant rankings. To get exposure on the platform, each vendor profile needs to be verified. The directory also displays a key contact person so that you can reach out directly to the company’s representative.

GoodFirms
GoodFirms helps B2B tech companies promote their software services and products. Service seekers, in turn, can locate the best collaboration opportunities across multiple locations. GoodFirms features well-performing software providers by category, along with essential industry data, testimonials, and average hourly rates. The platform comes with advanced search options which allow you to choose the vendor location and hourly rate.

DesignRush
Another popular B2B marketplace, DesignRush caters to full-service agencies, web and mobile app design vendors, and leading tech companies. Along with the marketplace, the platform also features a directory where seekers can look for partners by category. A vendor profile includes essential company information, team bios, recent projects, reviews, and press mentions. Here, a client can get a comprehensive view of the vendor without scouring the web.

Freelance platforms to hire remote developers
If you’re searching for a flexible hiring option with no obligations, consider looking into the gig economy. Freelance developers are usually self-employed specialists that take over individual short-term software projects. Below, you’ll find the most popular freelance platforms for getting a bid on your task.

Upwork
Upwork connects businesses with top independent contractors, making your hiring process fast and easy. Here, you can find both experienced developers and junior talent. Mind that Upwork doesn’t vet freelancers, so skill validation is up to the client. To hire a remote developer, you can skim through the marketplace or post a project on the platform. All payments are processed via Upwork, which helps secure your funds.
Each freelancer has a success rating, project history, and client reviews next to the profile. Upwork also offers recruitment services and helps companies find expert developers, designers, and marketers.

Freelancer
Freelancer.com is very easy to use and has a decent database of freelancers. The platform features a very extensive range of services — from software development to customer service. However, this freelance marketplace lacks a rigorous verification process, allowing inexperienced talent to leak into the platform. For the client’s security, Freelancer has a milestone payment system that releases the payment when the project is complete.

Toptal
Toptal is a rapidly growing platform for vetted software developers, marketers, and designers. The marketplace also covers other segments. The main differentiator of Toptal is its screening process. Each applicant must validate their subject matter expertise, professionalism, and communication skills. The platform claims to hand-pick only 3% of all applicants. The platform has over 10,000 professionals in its network.
The hiring process is simple. A client shares its requirements, and the platform connects it with the relevant candidate. Toptal acts as an intermediary between the client and contractor.

YouTeam
With over 25,000 vetted engineers, YouTeam is one of the largest talent marketplaces in the IT field. YouTeam matches a company with the right hire in 48 hours. The platform also has an exhaustive vetting process that helps it secure top-grade specialists. YouTeam also expands its hiring pool by partnering with recruitment agencies.
