Frequently asked questions
What people ask us, answered plainly.
When the honest answer is that it depends, we say so and go over it on the call.
The service
What does OpenGateHub do?
We find, interview and present senior remote developers. Today it's the only thing we do: staff augmentation and developer hiring.
Who is it for?
Two situations. If you already have a team and need to add people, we present senior developers who've already been interviewed. If it's your first developer, we define with you what that person has to prove, then find and interview them.
How do you charge?
There are two ways. In one, the developer joins your team and we bill monthly. In the other, we charge for the search and you hire them directly. The number depends on the profile, and we go over it on the call.
Who hires the developer in each case?
It depends on the way you choose. If they join your team and we bill monthly, they work with you but you pay us: you don't hire them yourself. If we charge for the search, you hire them directly. We go over which one suits you on the call.
The developers
Where do they work, and how senior are they?
They work remotely. We only work with senior developers.
Who interviews them, and what do you look at?
We interview every developer before presenting them to you. Knowing how to code is only one part. We also want to know whether they can work without someone telling them what to do every hour, whether they flag a problem before it grows, whether they can find their way in a codebase they don't know, and whether they understand the product or only execute tasks.
What if the developer doesn't work out?
We replace them at no cost. It's part of the service, not an add-on.

Book your callI'm a developer. How do I get on the list?
You sign up to the developer list. It's where we search when a new role comes in. Signing up is free, and we write to you when there's one that fits.

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.
