Frequently Asked Questions
We understand—hiring the wrong developer costs time, money, and team morale. That's why only 5% of applicants make it through our vetting process.
Our 5-step screening:
- Resume review: Verify experience, check references, validate past projects
- Technical assessment: 90-minute coding test covering algorithms, system design, and best practices
- Live coding challenge: 60-minute pair programming session solving real-world problems
- English proficiency test: Written and verbal communication assessment (B2+ minimum)
- Culture fit interview: Team collaboration scenarios, work style preferences, timezone flexibility
Result: Average developer rating of 4.8/5.0 across 250+ placements. 95% client retention rate over 3+ years.
Your safety net: If a developer doesn't meet your standards within the first 2 weeks, we'll replace them immediately—no questions, no fees.
Valid concern—technical debt compounds over time. Here's how we prevent it:
Before placement:
- Review code samples from previous projects
- Verify understanding of best practices (SOLID, DRY, design patterns)
- Check familiarity with testing frameworks
During engagement:
- Mandatory code review process (you review their code)
- Adherence to your team's coding standards
- Documentation requirements built into workflow
- Automated testing requirements (minimum 80% coverage)
Quality monitoring:
- Quarterly performance reviews
- Code quality metrics tracking
- Client satisfaction surveys
- Developer receives feedback for continuous improvement
You're always in control: Developers follow your architecture decisions, coding standards, and review process. They're an extension of your team, not a separate entity.
You maintain 100% control. Our developers report directly to you, not to us. Here's the working model:
Your responsibilities:
- Daily task assignment and prioritization
- Code review and approval
- Technical direction and architecture decisions
- Performance feedback and guidance
Our responsibilities:
- HR administration (payroll, benefits, equipment)
- Conflict resolution (if needed)
- Performance monitoring (quarterly reviews)
- Replacement coordination (if required)
Communication:
- Developers use your tools (Slack, Jira, GitHub, etc.)
- Participate in your standups, retros, and planning
- Follow your processes and workflows
- Available during your core business hours (4+ hour overlap guaranteed)
Think of it this way: They're your employees for work purposes, our employees for HR purposes. You get the control of in-house staff without the overhead.
How do I coo
15+ tech stacks including Java, .NET, Python, JavaScript/React, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and mobile (React Native, Xamarin). See the complete list above.
Legal protections:
- NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement): Signed before any code access
- IP assignment: All code and work product belongs to you
- Non-compete: Developers can't work for your direct competitors during engagement
- Data protection agreement: GDPR/CCPA compliant
Technical security measures:
- Access controls: Developers only access what they need
- Audit trails: All code changes tracked in version control
- Equipment security: Encrypted hard drives, VPN requirements
- No code downloads: Repository access only (no local copies of full codebase)
Your additional controls:
- Use your own repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
- Your security policies apply
- You control access permissions
- You can require specific security tools
Real example: Financial services client required PCI compliance and developers to work only from secure office locations (no home work). We accommodated both requirements.
We have been working with Softjourn for 12+ years now and our developers continue to impress me with their expertise, knowledge, and dedication to our project.
