How can Lemon charge nearly 50% less
With Lemon, your fees are almost entirely bestowed on your developer, with just a small portion cast aside for startup costs.
When you hire from a mega-corp, you’re likely funding much more than developer rates
salaries for 500-person teams aren’t conjured up from thin air. budgets for big marketing spends aren’t, either. With a startup like lemon, chances your fees are fueling the daily ops of a massive global hiring machine are zero.
lemon’s low overhead means this:
we can charge less while still giving you access to top senior talent. plus, our engineers are from eastern europe, which has a lower cost of living (and lower hourly rates ) than the united states.
Clean communication, focused
A perfectly crafted price : quality ratio
Why you’ll never have incompetent devs sabotaging your product release with Lemon
Your developers from Lemon are rigorously tested and pre-vetted for technical, social and communication skills
The startup hustle isn’t ideal for every engineer. That’s why we vet our developers — ruthlessly and thoroughly — to save you time and stress in the long run.
We call the Lemon vetting process the 4 levels of judgment. Fewer than 400 developers have ever made it through the initiation.
The result? A utopia of outstaffed software engineers.
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
90% of new clients are happy with their very first candidate match
The Startup Savior Double Guarantee:
To keep your budget on track, Lemon solemnly swears that...
We’ll match you with another developer at no additional cost if your Miraculous Match developer from Lemon doesn’t meet your expectations.
And, you always have the power to choose. That’s the ‘Startup Savior’ promise
If after interviewing your match, you decide to go with one of our competitors after all, we’ll give you $100 to use there.
Yes, we will give you $100. Because we know: once you have a Lemon dev on your project, you’ll never want anyone else. By then, you’ll know: $100 is worth WAY more at Lemon than anywhere else.
These elite developers could be devoted to your project — in hours
