This is how we help you to hire
a remote development team

Acquaintance

The first introduction is aimed at discovering whether our remote development solution suits your problem, but also fits your organization. We look at where you are now in terms of development, where you want to go and what requirements are set.

Team profile

If the use of remote developers proves to be the solution to your problem, a technical meeting will be scheduled. In this meeting, your current development team is discussed and it is examined with which profiles it should be supplemented. What hard and soft skills should your remote software developers have? We can only recruit properly with this information.

Recruitment & intake

We look for suitable candidates based on the team profile and the vacancy. They are first invited for an intake to check whether their English language skills are sufficient, whether they have the right soft skills and whether they fit within your corporate culture. In the second interview, they have a technical meeting with one of our specialists to see if their hard skills also match your wishes. If there is a match in our opinion, the candidates will be presented to you.

Application

After the candidates have been screened by our recruiters, they will be introduced to you. Based on the profiles, you can decide for yourself who you invite for an interview. After this, the candidate can go through your own regular application procedure.

Onboarding

The candidate follows your own onboarding procedure. However, with our experience we like to think along and offer a helping hand if necessary.

Excellent facilities and inspiring team events

SharpMinds offers a full service package to support our remote developers the best we can. For example, we facilitate knowledge sharing, coaching for junior developers and IT-events. In addition we always ensure that our developers can do their work in a modern workplace with laptops, headsets and good coffee. All the hard work should of course be rewarded. That is why we also organize various teambuilding events, themed celebrations, meetups and parties. The appreciation and job satisfaction is something that we value as crucial to achieve an optimal collaboration.

Continues improvement for a sustainable collaboration

Since we function as your eyes and ears, we want to be well informed on the remote developers performance. That is why all of our developers are methodologically evaluated every six months. In these evaluations we not only evaluate within the team. The costumer and the developer himself also fills out the evaluation. Discussing motivating development goals and salary increments are also part of this evaluation. By doing thi,s we guarantee the long-term deployability of our remote developer and the stability of the remote team. 

Dutch contract
Dutch invoicing
Flexible terms

We use fixed monthly rates per developer. The monthly sum contains the developers salary and our service fee. At SharpMinds you sign for a Dutch contract. That is why you also receive a Dutch invoice. Because we trust in our solution, we are happy to offer you extra flexibility in our contract conditions. For instance, the collaboration can be terminated daily during the first two months. After this period the contract can be terminated monthly for each individual employee. We will never charge you with recruitment costs.
