AI Developer Recruitment Marketplace
What makes Match.dev different from other platforms?
Match.dev offers a curated network of senior, thoroughly vetted engineers with human-led matching. You won’t sift through endless profiles or conduct numerous interviews. We connect you with the best-fit talent in days, not weeks, and there are no upfront fees. Our approach contrasts with general marketplaces like Upwork by emphasizing seniority, quality, and a quick, targeted match.
Can Match.dev act as a recruitment agency?
Yes. Match.dev can provide recruitment-like services tailored to your needs, helping startups hire engineers for full-time or hourly engagements by matching you with skilled programmers and software engineers.
How are developers vetted and what is the vetting process?
Our network consists of engineers we would work with ourselves. Each developer undergoes 10 hours of paid vetting to assess technical skills, experience, and cultural fit, ensuring you’re connected with high-quality, reliable talent.
Is there a minimum engagement size or time commitment?
Typically, projects start at a 10-hour-per-week engagement. If you have a smaller project, contact us and we’ll do our best to find the right developer for your needs.
How are pricing and fees structured, including service fees and buyout?
Pricing is presented as hourly rates (typically around $50–$80/hour) with no pre-payment. A reasonable service fee is built into the hourly rate. You can also opt to pay a flat buyout fee to save on ongoing costs and work directly with the developer.
Are there upfront costs or hidden fees?
No fees are required until you sign a digital contract with an engineer and they begin working, with time tracked on our platform.
What contract types are available?
Engagements can be hourly or monthly, offering flexibility to fit your needs.
Where do Match.dev developers come from and what regions do you serve?
Profiles include developers from Americas and Europe. You’ll see region tags and typical rates (around $50–$80/hour) displayed with relevant profiles.
What roles and tech stacks can I hire?
You can hire across roles such as Full-stack, Front-end, Back-end, Mobile, and AI/ML, along with UI/UX Designers. Common stacks and skills include React, Node.js, React Native, TypeScript, Python, Django, Flask, Java, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Flutter, Vue.js, Angular, and more.
How does the matchmaking and onboarding process work?
Our process consists of three steps:
- Discovery call to understand your product, tech stack, and culture
- Intro where you’re presented with a hand-picked, thoroughly vetted developer
- Quick start with an hourly or monthly contract so you can begin immediately
How fast can I get a matched developer?
Match.dev emphasizes speed: you can be introduced to a thoroughly vetted developer within about 48 hours after the discovery call in many cases.
What is the replacement warranty and how does it work?
If you’re not happy with the matched developer, Match.dev provides a replacement warranty with a swift replacement, minimizing disruption. This option exists to ensure you get a compatible fit, and the service notes that such replacements are rarely needed.
