What is the vetting process for developers at Lemon.io?

1. Candidates fill out an application, and the system sorts through them to see if they qualify.
2.Recruiters would then go through the candidate’s resume, Linkedin profile, and other professional information to check their background.
3. The candidate has a screening call with the recruiter, which includes technical questions evaluated using Coderbyte.
The final step is a deep interview that emphasizes the technical abilities of the candidate, consisting of live coding questions.
4. After a candidate passes the earlier rounds, we make them create a portfolio CV with their past work and experience.

This strict procedure confirms that all the developers you hire from us are of very high quality and trustworthy to work on your projects as per requirements.

Why should I use Lemon.io for hiring developers?

You should use Lemon.io for hiring developers due to several distinct advantages it comes with. We make it easy for you to hire the needed dev and take care of the time-consuming tasks of finding, screening, and initial interviewing the candidates. All you have to do is choose between pre-vetted professionals who meet your project’s scope and tech specifics. We vet only the best developers to join our talent pool, with rigorous requirements for their experience and reliability.

Lemon.io primarily works with startups in the early stages. Our devs have the opportunity to work on new, perspective projects with minimal legacy code and small, self-organized teams. We also provide ongoing support, ensuring a smooth collaboration between you and the hired developer.

How much does it cost to hire a remote developer?

The cost of hiring a remote developer varies widely depending on their skill set, experience, and location. Remote developer prices usually start from $65 per hour and can go up to approximately $100 per hour (the latter case applies to devs working on very complex projects).

Before the budgeting process, we estimate costs for all our services based on your project specifications, letting you make a wise decision. Thanks to our clear, transparent pricing model, you can manage those expectations without hidden costs as you get your project off the ground.

Is it hard to find remote developers?

Hiring remote developers is not difficult per se, but finding the right fit for a particular project can be pretty challenging. Remote work has expanded the availability of developers to a global level. So, going through hundreds of CVs can be tiresome without a specific service or tool to evaluate the potential candidates for you.

Platforms like Lemon.io provide pre-vetted developers who match your project requirements. This way, you find a perfect fit while reducing the time and complexity of the hiring process.
