Staff augmentation
We find, filter and present senior developers.
We define with you what the person has to prove, then we search and interview. You only meet the ones who passed that interview.
Free, 20 minutes. We take on few searches at a time.
- Who interviews
- We do, before anyone is presented to you.
- How they work
- Fully remote. Senior developers only.
- How we charge
- Monthly if they join your team. For the search if you hire them directly.
- How many we take
- Few searches at a time.
The hard part
Your team can evaluate a developer. What it doesn't have is time to read CVs and interview everyone who looks good.
What a CV doesn't say
Knowing how to code is only one part. A good CV and years of experience don't tell you whether that person is right for your product.
What we do
We define with you what the person has to prove and build the process to measure it. Then we search and interview each developer.
What reaches you
Only senior developers who passed that interview. The decision is yours. Whoever you choose joins your team and the way you work.
The hard part
Interviewing someone you like who talks well about technology is easy. Knowing whether they'll work out in your product, when you're not the one writing the code, is something else.
The cost of getting it wrong
It isn't just what you pay them. It's finding out late that they can't work autonomously: you lose time, the product slips, you end up doing technical management, and you have to hire again.
What we do
We work in a different order. First we define with you what that person has to prove. Then we build the process to measure it. Only then do we start searching.
What's left for you
Telling us what you're building and choosing among the candidates we present. We handle the technical evaluation.
Our filter
Technical first. Then, five more things.
We verify that they master the technology your project needs. Then we look at what a CV doesn't show:
- 01Autonomy
Whether they move forward without someone mapping out every step.
- 02Communication
Whether they flag a problem in time.
- 03Unfamiliar code
Whether they find their way in code they didn't write.
- 04Product
Whether they understand what the thing they're building is for.
- 05Clients
Whether they can work directly with a client.
No developer reaches you without passing both parts. It's a standard we don't negotiate.
Two ways to hire
Same process, two ways to hire
The search and the interview are the same. What changes is who hires the developer and how we charge.
They join your team
Who hires them
OpenGateHub. The developer works in your team, and your contract is with us.
How we charge
We bill monthly.
Who it usually suits
Companies that want to add someone to the team without handling the hiring themselves.
You hire them directly
Who hires them
You. The developer is hired by your company.
How we charge
We charge for the search.
Who it usually suits
Companies that want the developer as part of their own company and need help finding and evaluating them.
We don't publish prices because they depend on the profile. We go over the number on the call.
How it works
The process, step by step
- 01
The call
20 minutes, free. You tell us what you're building and what you need.
- 02
We define what to look for
We define what the person has to prove and how we'll measure it. Only then do we start searching.
- 03
We search and interview
We look for senior developers and interview each one.
- 04
We present candidates
You only meet the ones who passed the interview. The decision is yours.
- 05
They start working
They join your team and we bill monthly, or you hire them directly and we charge for the search.
What's the difference between the two models?
Who hires the developer and how we charge. In one, the developer joins your team and we bill monthly. In the other, we charge for the search and you hire them directly.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the profile. We don't publish prices: we go over the number on the call.
What if the developer doesn't work out?
We replace them at no cost.
Who interviews the developers?
We do: the founder or someone else on the team. No developer reaches you without that interview.
Where do they work and how experienced are they?
They work remotely. We only work with senior developers.
Who chooses the developer?
You do. We only present the ones who passed the interview, and the decision is yours.
Who will I talk to on the call?
Candelaria Sanchez, founder of OpenGateHub. The call is 20 minutes and free.
I'm a developer. How do I join?
We keep a list we search when a new role comes in. Signing up is free.
Join the listBefore 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.
