Darshan Sonde

If your looking to find top developer resource, Lemon.io is the place.

Lemon.io has been a game changer for us. Speed, clarity, and quality were there from day one, but what really impressed me was how much they care about getting the right fit, not just filling a role.

We had some specific requirements, and the candidates surfaced were consistently high quality and well aligned. The team checked in regularly, handled onboarding smoothly, and genuinely went the extra mile to keep things simple.

It’s rare to find a service that combines great talent with great people. Lemon.io absolutely does both, and we’ll be continuing to work with them. Diana is a superstar.

Lemon provides access to great talent. Their platforms are good and I’ve found my account rep (Alina) to be super helpful and knowledgable.

Chris Freeberg

Lemon cares a tremendous amount about finding high quality developers that are the right long term fit. We had some specific requirements and Iryna was able to find some great options that were all really qualified. They checked in several times during the engagement and made sure the start and kickoff for the dev was well handled. Will be planning on working with them well into the future.

Building our tech startup would not have been possible without Lemon.

We’ve been working for ~1.5 year with one of their full stack engineer from Brazil, Matheus, whom we strongly recommend. As 2 co-founders looking for moving our prototype product to a production level, Lemon has been amazing at guiding us through the selection process and then ongoingly whenever we had any questions or requests (thank you Andrew Bondar) – definitely recommend.

Connect to an ocean of talent

You want to hire Data Scientists who perfectly match your needs. Remote talent gives you an almost endless selection so you can find your perfect dev.

Find affordable talent

The high cost of living in cities makes hiring prohibitively expensive. Look beyond your backyard for talent with all of the skills at a third of the cost.

image

Build agility into your hiring

Match the size of your team to the size of your project. When there’s too much work, remote contractors add resources to your team on call, then disappear after.

Lower fixed overhead costs

Every in-house hire comes with hidden costs – work spaces, computers, desks. Remote contractors supply their own, helping you lower your office costs.
