Three steps

Hire a Software developer in 3 steps

From your first brief to a Software developer working in React and Node.js, you stay with one recruiter from scope through start.

Scope the Software developer role

Tell us the work to own, from software developer onboarding and codebase setup to feature work and bug fixes, plus the systems, coverage hours, and outcomes that matter. We turn that into a focused search brief.

Review vetted Software developer candidates

We screen candidates for software developer onboarding and codebase setup, feature work and bug fixes, and practical fluency in React and Node.js. You review a shortlist with relevant context.

Hire and onboard your Software developer

Choose your candidate and hiring model. We coordinate the handoff into your tools, operating process, and first-week priorities.

What changes for your team

Best for teams that need product work delivered without a long internal recruiting cycle.

Faster backlog throughput

Tickets get estimated and shipped on your team's existing cadence, instead of waiting on a recruiting cycle to add capacity.

No recruiting cycle to slow you down

Vetted candidates arrive within 10 calendar days, instead of the weeks or months a traditional developer search usually takes.

Lower cost than US-based hiring

Global talent starts at $12 an hour, all-inclusive, well under the fully loaded cost of a US-based engineering hire.

Embedded in your existing process, instead of a separate vendor

Your developer joins standups, sprint planning and code review under your direction, instead of working as an outside contractor.

Flexible scaling up or down

You add or reduce capacity as the roadmap changes, instead of carrying a fixed headcount through a slower quarter.

Why teams choose HireHawk for this role

Matched to your stack instead of developers in general

Name your languages, frameworks and codebase on the discovery call, and we screen against that specific combination.

Vetted before you meet them

5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented to clients.

Strong technical talent across every market

Latin America, the Philippines, South Africa and Eastern Europe all carry deep developer talent pools, matched to your time zone needs.

Two ways to hire

Fully managed global talent from $12 an hour, or US direct hire from 12.5% of first-year salary. Compare the two on our [staffing solutions page](/solutions/).

Mikayel Revenue Cycle Manager

One partner, wherever your next hire lives.

The right model depends on the seat, not the company. Some roles need someone in the building; the rest do not, and cost far less remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hiring for this role

What is staff augmentation, exactly?

It means adding a developer to your existing team, instead of outsourcing a whole project to an agency and losing visibility into it. You keep control of the roadmap and the code; the developer works inside your process, on your stack, under your direction, the same as anyone else on payroll.

Can they work in our specific stack?

Yes, and we screen for it directly rather than for development skill in general. Name your languages, frameworks and codebase on the discovery call, and we match you with a developer who already codes in that exact combination, instead of one who needs weeks to ramp up on your stack.

Is this the same as hiring offshore developers?

On the global model, yes, the developer is based offshore and works your hours. On US direct hire, the developer is based in the US and joins your payroll directly. Both are staff augmentation; the difference is where the hire lives and how they're employed.

How fast can a developer start?

You'll see vetted candidates within 10 business days of your discovery call, so you're not waiting weeks to start interviewing. Once you've made your pick, onboarding takes 21 days, whether the hire joins your payroll directly or comes on as a fully managed global hire through HireHawk.

What if the developer is not the right fit?

You're covered either way. If you go with global talent, you get 100% performance replacement at no extra cost. If you choose US direct hire, you're backed by a 60-day replacement guarantee, so a bad fit doesn't turn into a bad quarter for your business.

How do you assess a software developer before I interview them?

We scope the stack, seniority, and work you need done, then assess candidates on the relevant coding, system-design, and collaboration requirements before you meet them. You interview a shortlist matched to your repository and delivery process, not a broad pool of general developers.
