FAQ about hiring software developers
Where can I find software developers?
To find software developers, you can check out the following platforms:
1. LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Indeed if you want to hire full-time in-house professionals
2. Upwork and Fiverr if you’re looking for freelancers
3. GitHub, Discord communities, and forums for software developers if you have a deep industry knowledge
4. The Lemon.io platform has a pool of candidates and connects them with startups and companies
One of the main benefits of choosing Lemon.io for your needs is our efficiency and speed. We conduct a thorough pre-vetting process, so you don’t have to. Our developers are skilled, responsible, and speak English confidently. Once we receive your project’s details, we start browsing our candidate base and don’t stop until we find the best professional for your needs.
Can I test the developer skills during the no-risk trial period?
You can test a developer’s skills during a no-risk trial period at Lemon.io. Although we usually choose candidates for projects ourselves, we understand that a client might want to test them on their specific project. That’s why you can ask for a paid trial to see if the developer we’ve selected is truly the right fit.
The trial lasts up to 20 hours, but you can cancel it as soon as you make your final decision. If you aren’t satisfied with the candidate, we will pick another for you as quickly as possible.
Are software developers in demand?
Yes, software developers are in high demand across various industries. In the US, this profession takes a proud third place in the 100 Best Jobs list with 410,000 projected jobs available for developers. In 2022, nearly 70% of the top economic performers were using their software—and this number continues to increase as time goes on.
So, while the popular tech stack might change and the scope of the profession might expand, it’s safe to say that software developers are still here to stay. As technologies advance, more and more companies join the software development market—and are looking for professionals who can support them in the process.
How quickly can I hire software developers through Lemon.io?
You can hire software developers through Lemon.io usually within 48 hours after submitting the details and requirements for your project. We know that the software development industry is fast-paced and understand that often, you need to start as quickly as possible. Our vetting process also makes us confident in the level of expertise our developers can offer. That’s why our matching process is rapid and efficient. We pick one candidate who, as we believe, fits your needs best.
What is the vetting process for developers at Lemon.io?
The vetting process for developers at Lemon.io is quite thorough to ensure that only the most qualified professionals will join our network and take on your projects. Here’s what it looks like:
1. Candidates fill out the application form on our website. The system automatically rejects those candidates who don’t have enough experience or qualifications.
2. Our recruiters check out the candidates’ CVs and LinkedIn profiles to ensure they are a good match.
3. Then, we invite the candidates to a screening call and often ask them to answer some questions on Coderbyte.
4. The next stage of the process is the hard skills interview and sometimes a live coding task.
Developers who successfully pass all the stages join our candidate base.
Why should I use Lemon.io for hiring software developers?
You should use Lemon.io to hire software developers because our platform saves you time and resources that would otherwise be spent hiring the right professional.

How much does it cost to hire software developers?
The cost of hiring software developers depends on their experience, location, and the complexity of your project. In the US, an average developer charges $48 per hour, with an annual average salary reaching $100,653, according to Glassdoor. Senior-level professionals generally are more expensive to hire. At the same time, hiring them can often help you save costs on bug fixing and shorten the project’s duration.
The tech stack chosen for your project can also affect the pricing. For instance, Solidity developers are currently the most expensive ones in the US.
