We usually offer you several candidates who, as we believe, match your requirements the most.

The vetting process for tech leads at Lemon.io is detailed and created to ensure that only top-quality candidates will join our talent pool. It consists of the following stages:

1. Automatic screening: Once a candidate fills in the application form on our website, our system filters them based on their skills and experience level.
2. CV evaluation: Our recruiters review the CVs of successful candidates and contact them for a screening call and potential tech knowledge evaluation (conducted by answering questions on Coderbyte).
3. A hard skills interview will be followed by a live coding task if we find it necessary.
4. Then we create the profiles for chosen tech leads in our candidate base.

You should use Lemon.io to hire tech leads for several anvantages our platform gives. The main one is our thorough and manual vetting process. Many other talent platforms, such as Upwork, don’t hire candidates manually and, therefore cannot guarantee their quality. Lemon.io, on the other hand, can vouch for the quality of our candidate base.

We also value your time and do our best to match you with the right candidate as quickly as possible. What’s more, if a chosen tech lead will have to leave your project for some reason, we’ll quickly find them a replacement with the same level of experience and skills.

When you hire tech leads through Lemon.io, you’ll start with an initial payment that is calculated individually based on the candidate’s rate and your estimated workload. Then you send us monthly or weekly payments as the project progresses. If the project ends and you still have some unused funds left in the balance, we will refund them to you.

Lemon.io tech leads differ mostly because of our detailed and unique vetting process. Due to that, we can ensure that we offer only the most qualified candidates for your project. Our tech leads have advanced technical skills and lots of experience. They can manage and lead the development teams ethically and effectively.
