Hire Dedicated Developers

Hire Dedicated Developers By Technology

Pick the stack. Meet the developer. Decide after the interview. Each developer works on your product only, in your repository and your tools.

  • You interview before any contract
  • Month-to-month terms, no exit fee
  • You own all code and IP
  • Replacement if the fit is wrong

How Teams Usually Start

Three common starting points. None of them needs a long commitment.

  • One developer

    Fill One Gap

    A single engineer with a skill your team lacks. They join your standup and take tickets from your board.

  • Small team

    Add A Pair Or A Pod

    Two or three developers who take on one product area together, so knowledge is shared from the start.

  • Full team

    Build A Dedicated Team

    A complete team with a lead, working to goals you set. Suits a new product line or a long programme of work.

Week One Protocol

What we aim to cover in the first week. The pace depends on how quickly access and context are available.

  1. 1
    Access

    Accounts and environment

    NDA signed. Repository, tracker and chat access granted. The developer sets up a working local environment and notes any gaps in the setup guide.

  2. 2
    Context

    Walkthrough with your team

    Your lead explains the architecture, the release process and the current priorities. The developer asks questions and writes down what they learn.

  3. 3
    First task

    A small, real change

    The developer picks up a ticket small enough to finish, opens a pull request and goes through your normal review.

  4. 4
    Review

    First-week check-in

    You, the developer and SyntecHire discuss what went well and what needs to change. You decide whether to continue.

This describes activities, not a guaranteed result.

Investment Ranges

You pay a monthly figure per developer. That figure depends on four things: seniority, how scarce the skill is, how many developers you need and how much overlap you want with your working hours.

Seniority has the largest effect. A senior engineer costs more per month and usually needs less direction. Scarce skills cost more than common ones. Larger teams may need a lead, which adds a role.

We quote in writing before you commit to anything. Tell us the roles and seniority and we will send the figures.

Work out the numbers on your own first. The cost estimate needs no email.

Start With A First-Week Performance Review

Begin with one developer and a review at the end of the first week. You decide what happens next.

What the review covers

  • Quality of the first pull requests
  • Communication and questions asked
  • Fit with your team and process

What you decide

  • Continue as you are
  • Change the developer
  • Stop, with no exit fee

Tell Us About The Role

You interview the developer before any contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have More Questions?

The developer works on your product only. They are not shared with other clients and they do not rotate between projects.

Yes. You interview every candidate before any contract, and you make the final decision.

Engagements run month to month and there is no exit fee. The notice period is stated in the contract.

You do. All code and IP is assigned to you in the contract. Developers work in your repository and tools, and an NDA is signed before code access.

Tell us. We first try to fix the problem. If that does not work, we replace the developer.
