FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start with a single developer instead of a full team?

Absolutely. Whether you need one developer or a full cross-functional team, we tailor every engagement to your needs. Many clients start with a single engineer to test the model, then scale to more developers or a complete AI pod. We handle the logistics from day one, whether it's one person or twenty.

What's the financial commitment and contract terms?

No upfront or placement fees. You pay one monthly invoice per developer, and there is no long-term contract: you can scale down or exit with 30 days' notice. If the fit isn't right within 90 days, we replace the developer at no cost. Your developers work full time on your project as part of your team.

How quickly can developers start working on my project?

You get vetted candidate profiles within 48 hours of the first call. Developers start 8–12 days after that call, depending on how quickly you run your interviews.

What if the developer isn't a good cultural or technical fit?

If the fit isn't right within the first 90 days, we replace the developer at no cost and send new candidates right away. After that, you can scale down with 30 days' notice.

How do time zones work for daily collaboration?

Our developers work US time zones. Standups, sprint planning, code reviews and urgent fixes all happen during your workday, without the overnight handoffs that 10–12 hour gaps with Asia or Eastern Europe force on a team.

What about IP protection and security?

We follow enterprise-grade security protocols. All developers sign comprehensive NDAs, IP assignment agreements, and confidentiality agreements before accessing your codebase. We maintain secure access controls, follow data protection best practices, and keep full IP ownership with you.

Do you handle all HR and legal compliance?

Yes. We manage contracts, payroll, benefits, tax compliance, and all legal requirements. Our HR team handles performance management, career development, conflict resolution, and retention strategies. You get developers; we handle the operational complexity. No need to set up international entities or navigate foreign employment law.

What's your vetting process?

We accept only the top 3% of applicants. Every candidate passes technical assessments (live coding, system design, architecture reviews), behavioral interviews, English fluency tests, and cultural fit evaluations. We review portfolios, conduct reference checks, and verify experience claims. You only interview candidates who meet your exact technical and cultural requirements.

How does pricing compare to US hiring?

Teams save 40–60% against a comparable US hire. The median US software developer earned $135,980 in May 2025 (BLS) before benefits, payroll tax and recruiting fees. A senior developer through Ideaware costs $5,000–8,000 a month for most roles, all-in. The developer cost guide shows rates by role.

Can I scale my team up or down based on project needs?

Yes. Our flexible engagement model lets you scale based on runway, project phases, and product roadmap. Need to add developers for a major feature release? You see candidates within 48 hours. Need to adjust team size during a funding transition? We work with you to optimize for your current situation. No penalties for right-sizing your team.
