We first help you identify what expertise, skills, number of positions, and seniority of developers the job requires.Then we help you find people that match these needs, as well as your job description and expectations.

Stateside pulls from its proprietary, extensive databases of technology specialists to work on your project. We are always ready to present candidates to you, whether from our existing talent pool or in the recruiting pipeline.

If necessary, we would next schedule interviews with potential candidates. In most cases, you can also request a “test task” at this point to confirm a candidate’s technical skills.

If the candidate passes the interview and test, they get placed with your company and onboarded to your team.

Quicker hiring: Stateside’s process usually takes a few weeks to onboard the right candidate. Compare this to the few months it often takes a company to hire on their own and the potential cost of a bad hire (52 days and $4,000 on average according to Deloitte). 

 

Well-organized onboarding: Getting software industry employees up and running requires employers to clearly articulate project goals, workflow, and requirements. Stateside streamlines and strategizes this process to ensure employers have the know-how to communicate outcome goals to employees, and that employees understand each aspect of a successful project.

High retention rates: Our understanding of the industry, close communication with the clients, and expertise iset in hiring results in lower turnover than the current industry standard.

We hire from Latin America and the United States.

We perform the first round of interviews for technical skills and cultural fit, and then we send our feedback to you. We can schedule a final interview with you or your technical team if required.
