Because a great resumé doth not always beget a great developer

As a startup founder, your cup runneth over with tasks. You feel rushed to find applicants, desperate to hire and doubtful at every turn. And you lack the time to summon righteous software engineer applications from the hoards of wicked ones.

That’s why you’re called to try Lemon for your next dev hire. When 1,000 developers step forth to join the Lemon Developerhood, only 300 are appointed. Chosen Devs endure 4 levels of judgment on the path to ascension.

The Resumé Review

We instantly cut devs that fail an ESL test, offer an inglorious portfolio and lack outstaffing experience

Reputation Sanction

Reference check! Remaining developers are vetted to ensure saintly standing with their current employer

Personal Prostration

Remaining developers are interviewed and put through a rigorous skills test

The Dev’s Advocate

The final reckoning! We accept those passionately committed to the startup hustle, with the work ethic of a deity

A UTOPIA OF OUTSTAFFED
SOFTWARE ENGINEERS
