CONTEXT

What does DevFarm do for its clients?

Our goal is to help your business grow by offering targeted hiring, expert software development, and through career and team enhancing mentorship.

Though not all of our clients take advantage of all three of these services, we are experts in all three, and understand how they work well together to help accomplish business goals.

HOW WE WORK

How does DevFarm work with clients?

We support the entire cycle of building your technical business:

• We offer expert software development services
• Mentoring junior developers to help grow your team internally
• Hiring help through recruiting the best talent through permanent, contract, and contract-to-hire placements

BENEFITS

What are the benefits of working with DevFarm?

• Building a great product that will enhance revenue
• Finding the right talent
• Retaining intellectual capital
• Improving the capabilities of your existing team

We deliver these services in tandem, or individually, as needed.

QUALITY

How long does it take to get a candidate up to speed?

For candidates, this depends, but our goal is to have the candidate committing code in the first two weeks.

QUALITY

If junior developers work on real client projects, doesn't that affect code quality?

With the added attention from a senior developer, not only does the junior developer establish a foundation in best practices, all code goes through the senior mentor, so you are guaranteed a net-positive for code quality.

HIRING

If I start working with a candidate, do I have to hire them?

No, every candidate is working freelance, so neither the client, nor the candidate has an obligation to continue working with each other.

pAYMENT

How do the developers get paid?

All billing will go through DevFarm, so you don't have to worry about multiple 1099's of different developers.

pAYMENT

If I hire a developer after working with them, do I pay a placement fee?

No, as with most contract-to-hire agreements, if one of our candidates is hired the placement fee is discounted based on a portion of the candidate's cost.

screening

Can I screen the senior mentor before they work with us?

Absolutely! In the spirit of building trust, we have no problem giving you a chance to screen developers you'll be working with.
