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.

FAQ about hiring remote developers

Where can I find remote developers?

You can find remote developers on job boards like Indeed and Glassdoor, professional networks like LinkedIn, or technical forums like GitHub. Freelance marketplaces (Upwork, Toptal) also provide access to talent, from remote developers to tier-one contract engineers.

If you’re looking for a streamlined process with guaranteed quality, Lemon.io offers a curated selection of pre-vetted remote developers. Our platform ensures you get a CV that fits your project requirements, enabling an easy recruitment process with minimum effort.

What is the no-risk trial period for hiring a remote developer on Lemon.io?

The no-risk trial period for hiring a remote developer on Lemon.io is set to ensure the dev is a good fit for your project. You can have a small paid trial (up to 20 hours to understand whether the chosen developer has the skills to complete a real task, not just a coding test, before making them a part of your long-term team.

We also offer a risk-free replacement assurance. It means that if the hired developer doesn’t meet your expectations or misses deadlines, we will replace them with another specialist in no time. Thus, you will get matched for your project with minimum risk.

How are Lemon.io remote developers different?

Lemon.io remote developers stand out due to our thorough vetting process and proven track record. We only accept senior developers with significant expertise and outstanding skills.

To make our vetting process efficient yet thorough, we arrange two key meetings — a screening call with a recruiter and a technical interview. That’s how we ensure our developers have decent tech skills and the required qualities for productive communication and cooperation.

Additionally, Lemon.io independently selects projects for developers, considering their tech stack, skill level, and project preferences, looking for a great match between clients and developers.

How quickly can I hire a remote developer through Lemon.io?

You can hire a remote developer through Lemon.io within 24 to 48 hours. Our fast-track system is a time-saver that handles the most time-intensive hiring tasks, including background checks and interviews.

We guarantee the developer we pick for you has passed a rigorous four-step vetting process and is ready to join your project. This fast turnaround helps you to meet stringent project deadlines and commence your development work without unwanted delays.

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

The vetting process at Lemon.io involves multiple steps to ensure you gain access to top talent. Here’s a brief overview of its essential stages:
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.
