Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How quickly can developers start? A: Pre-vetted engineers can start within 1-2 weeks after you approve candidates. Custom searches (rare skills) may take 3-4 weeks.
Q: What if the developer doesn’t work out? A: We offer a 2-week trial period with free replacement. After that, 2-week notice period applies (we’ll find a replacement in parallel).
Q: Do I need to provide equipment and software licenses? A: Developers have their own workstations. You provide access to your codebase, cloud accounts, and collaboration tools (Slack, Jira, etc.).
Q: Can I convert contractors to full-time employees? A: Yes! We support conversions after 12 months with a one-time fee (equivalent to 2 months’ salary).
Q: How do you handle time zone differences? A: LatAm engineers typically work 9am-5pm US time. Eastern Europe/India engineers adjust hours for 4-6 hour overlap with your core team.
Q: What about code ownership and IP rights? A: All code and IP is 100% owned by you. This is specified in our Master Services Agreement (MSA).
Q: Do you provide project management? A: For dedicated teams, we can provide a Technical Lead or PM at additional cost. For staff augmentation, engineers report to your PM/CTO.
