More questions

Within 12 to 48 hours of a successful interview. First you meet your shortlist, interview the people you like and pick your person.

Yes. Your Full-Stack Developer works your business hours in your time zone and joins your Teams or Slack like anyone else. The hub matched to United States clients is in Colombia, on New York time or an hour behind.

Yes, where it helps. Your Full-Stack Developer works in the AI tools you already use. They use AI for first drafts and routine work, check every output, and follow your AI policy. You can ask for no AI on any task.

An Intermediate Full-Stack Developer owns a feature end-to-end across UI, API, database and deployment with light review. An Expert Full-Stack Developer owns a product area or an MVP outcome and chooses architecture and stack for the constraints. We usually recommend Intermediate.

It stays under your rules: your admin settings and AI policy apply. Our talent rules ban client data in personal or free AI accounts, and passwords, card numbers, health details and ID numbers never go into any AI tool.

You direct the work day to day. We handle recruiting, equipment and quality checks.

Yes. Every Full-Stack Developer is tested live in the tools on your job description, such as React and Next.js, before you meet them.

It can, at most once a year. Your person's hourly rate may rise by up to 5% a year, from the first anniversary of the Seat's start, with 60 days' notice and the right to end the Seat before it applies.

Only when you and your person both agree to it in advance. Otherwise they work the hours you set, and you pay for the hours they log.

You aren't charged for hours your person doesn't work, apart from paid leave. After their third month, your person earns 8 hours of paid leave a month. Paid leave hours are charged at their usual rate.

Your person logs their hours each day in the Get Hands client app, where you can see them. Your next invoice is adjusted to those hours.
