About

We're not another agency.

We're a small team that finds and interviews senior developers. Whether a person fits your team is our first filter, not an extra.

The founder

Smart people in the wrong context.

Candelaria Sanchez is a software engineer who started out in film. She founded OpenGateHub because she kept seeing the same problem everywhere: companies hiring great engineers who didn't fit the team.

So she built a company where fitting the team isn't an extra, it's the first filter. We look at how each developer communicates, how they work, and whether they'll genuinely care about what they're building.

She takes every 20-minute call herself.

How we work

What doesn't change from one search to the next

  1. 01

    We interview every developer

    Before we present anyone, someone on our team talks to them. You only meet the ones who passed the interview.

  2. 02

    Senior developers only

    Fully remote.

  3. 03

    We take on few searches at a time

    We're a small firm, and we like it that way.

  4. 04

    You talk to people

    The first call is with Candelaria. There's no platform in between.

Before you hire, let's talk for 20 minutes.

It's free, with no commitment. Tell us what you're building and we'll work out how to set up the search. Even if we don't end up working together, you'll leave knowing what to look for.
