Our key services:
Talent Sourcing: we help Companies find skilled Software Developers through our Online Marketplace of pre-vetted Software Developers. To ensure quality, we verify the coding skills of all candidates before we place them on our Platform by testing them using a project-based approach.
Talent Screening: validating the skills of potential employees cannot be overemphasized. Using our Testing Platform, we help verify the coding skills of Software Developers by giving them projects (workplace sample tests) to build on our online Integrated Development Environment (IDE). We check for code quality (vulnerability, maintainability etc) based on standards and best practices.
Payroll: We offer a seamless cross-border payroll process for companies allowing them to pay their remote employees with ease. We offer multiple payment options: bank transfers, debit/credit card, direct debit, ApplePay, digital wallet or the option to integrate with any of your preferred payment partners.
