Question 1

How do we recruit Freelance Software Developers

Accepted Answer

The first step in getting great developers is getting applicants. At slashdev.io we get over 2,000+ applicants every month. We then put these candidates through a best practice interview process designed alongside our talent strategist, a previous Tesla Software Engineer. After putting candidates through technical interviews, code challenges, and extensive vetting we arrive at the 0.5% who make it into our network to be considered for jobs.

How are slashdev.io Freelance Software Developers different?

Accepted Answer

This depends on who you are comparing our engineers to. Compared to Upwork it is a night and day difference in the quality of engineers. Compared to other professional services like TopTal we have similar engineers applying to our network, the truth is Toptal and others take insane margins on their talent and in many cases will take on more junior engineers than we are willing to take onboard.

Question 3
