How hiring with DevKit works

From the first call to a team that scales with you, with no recruiting overhead on your side.

Day 1

Share the role and budget

A free 30-minute call about the work, your stack, your team and what you can spend.

Days 3–5

Review vetted CVs

A shortlist with interviewer's notes and a clear monthly rate for each candidate.

Weeks 1–2

Interview and onboard

You choose who joins. They get access, walk through the codebase and ship first tasks.

Month 1

First review

We review the results with you. If the match isn't right, we replace the engineer at no extra cost.

Month 3+

Scale on your terms

Add roles, scale down or move to a dedicated team. No long-term lock-in.

What's in every profile we send

Within 3–5 business days of our call, you get a shortlist of vetted candidates. Every profile gives you what you need to decide quickly.

  • 01

    Skills verified by engineers

    Each candidate passes a technical interview with our senior engineers. You see what they can actually do, not just what their CV says.

  • 02

    Interviewer's notes

    Strengths, gaps and how the candidate approached the interview tasks, written by the engineer who interviewed them.

  • 03

    Why this match

    How the person fits your role, your team and your budget, and which level we recommend for the work.

  • 04

    Level and relevant experience

    From junior to tech lead, with the projects and domains that matter for your role.

  • 05

    English, time zone and availability

    Communication level, working-hours overlap with your team and the earliest start date.

  • 06

    A clear monthly rate

    One price per engineer per month, so you can compare candidates against your budget straight away.

AI and machine learning engineers

Hire engineers who build AI into your product, and a team that uses AI to deliver more for every dollar you spend.

AI-augmented by default

Every DevKit engineer works with AI coding assistants, with a human review on every change.

  • More output per engineer.

    AI handles boilerplate, tests and documentation, so engineers spend their time on the hard problems.

  • Smaller teams, same results.

    Higher productivity means you often need fewer people, or a less senior mix, for the same scope. That's how we keep you on budget.

  • Safe by default.

    Your code only goes into AI tools you approve, under your security and IP rules.

Why hire through DevKit, not on your own

Anyone can find a developer. The hard part is knowing they're good, keeping them, and staying covered when something goes wrong. That's the part we take off your plate.

Never left without a developer

Hiring on your own: Your developer quits, gets sick or disappears, and the roadmap stops.

With DevKit: We replace them at no extra cost and handle the handover, so the work keeps moving.

Vetted before you spend a minute

Hiring on your own: You sift through dozens of CVs and still can't tell who can really code.

With DevKit: Every candidate passes a technical interview with our senior engineers. You only meet people who can do the job.

The right level at the right price

Hiring on your own: You overpay for seniority you don't need, or save in the wrong place.

With DevKit: We match each role to the work it really needs, from junior to tech lead, and only propose people who fit your budget.

A senior team behind every engineer

Hiring on your own: A solo hire has no one to review their code or help with hard problems.

With DevKit: Our senior engineers and tech leads back every placement with reviews, advice and knowledge sharing.

One contract, zero admin

Hiring on your own: Contracts, payroll, taxes and compliance in another country land on you.

With DevKit: You sign one agreement with DevKit Agency LLC (US) or DevKit Agency OÜ (EU), with an NDA and full IP transfer as standard. We handle employment, payroll, taxes and equipment.

Engineers who stay

Hiring on your own: Freelancers juggle several clients and leave when a better offer comes along.

With DevKit: We invest in our engineers' growth and wellbeing, so they stay focused on your product for the long run.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about hiring engineers, engagement models, pricing and contracts.

What is IT staff augmentation?

IT staff augmentation means adding external engineers to your in-house team for as long as you need them. DevKit provides pre-vetted software engineers, AI engineers and designers who work in your tools and processes, while we handle hiring, payroll, equipment and retention.

Why hire through DevKit instead of finding a freelancer myself?

Because the risk sits with us, not you. Every DevKit engineer is technically vetted by our senior engineers, has a team of senior engineers and tech leads behind them, and is replaced at no extra cost with a proper handover if they leave or aren't the right fit. You sign one contract with DevKit Agency LLC (US) or DevKit Agency OÜ (EU), with an NDA and full IP transfer, and we handle payroll and taxes. With a solo freelancer, vetting, continuity and compliance are all on you.

How quickly can DevKit provide developers?

Most clients receive shortlisted CVs within 3–5 business days, and engineers usually start within 2–3 weeks of the first call. A full dedicated team typically starts within 2–4 weeks.

How do you match engineers to my budget?

We start from the work, not the job title. On the first call we look at what needs to get done, how much guidance your team can give and what you can spend. Then we propose the level that fits each role, from junior and mid-level developers to senior engineers and tech leads, so you don't overpay for experience you don't need.

What is the difference between staff augmentation and a dedicated team?

With staff augmentation, individual engineers join your team and you manage their work. With a dedicated team, DevKit provides a complete, self-managed team (software engineers and a delivery manager) that works on your product and reports to your product owner.

Do you offer recruitment for full-time, in-house roles?

Yes. Our tech recruitment service sources, technically screens and helps you close engineers who join your company as full-time employees. Our engineers run the technical interviews, so you only meet qualified candidates.

Can DevKit provide AI and machine learning engineers?

Yes. DevKit provides engineers who build LLM applications and AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), machine learning models and MLOps pipelines, using Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, the OpenAI API, LangChain and MLflow. They have built AI platforms for clients in cybersecurity and insurance.

Do DevKit engineers use AI coding tools?

Yes. Our engineers work with AI coding assistants to deliver faster, with a human review on every change. That higher productivity often means you need fewer engineers, or a less senior mix, for the same scope. Your code only goes into AI tools you approve.

How much does it cost to hire developers through DevKit?

It depends on the roles you need and the level each one requires. Staff augmentation and dedicated teams are billed as a monthly rate per engineer or per team, and recruitment as a one-time fee per hire. Tell us your budget on the first call and we'll match engineers to it; you get exact rates with the first CVs, and the consultation is free.

Who owns the code and intellectual property?

You do. You sign with DevKit Agency LLC (US) or DevKit Agency OÜ (EU), whichever suits you. Every contract includes an NDA as standard and transfers all code and intellectual property created for you to your company.

Which time zones do your engineers work in?

DevKit engineers work hours that overlap with European business hours and the US East Coast, so they can join your daily stand-ups and meetings in real time.

What happens if an engineer isn't the right fit?

We replace them at no extra cost and handle the knowledge transfer, so your work continues with minimal disruption.

Which technologies do DevKit engineers work with?

Our engineers cover React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, Java, Go, TypeScript, React Native, Flutter, iOS and Android; AWS, Google Cloud and Azure; QA automation with Cypress and Selenium; UI/UX design; game development with Unity and Unreal Engine; AI and machine learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenAI API, LangChain); and blockchain development.

Where is DevKit based?

DevKit is headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, with a US office in Wilmington, Delaware. We have worked with clients across North America, Europe and the Middle East since 2017.
