Hire top vetted developers to unlock your project's potential

The project-seeking timeline can vary but is typically around 1-2 weeks, depending on the popularity of your technologies, your skills, availability, and whether you are full-time or part-time ready. The rate also affects it. It may take longer if your rate is high.

If you’re new to hourly rates and aren’t sure where to start, we suggest dividing your current or most recent monthly salary by 160 (the average number of work hours in a month) to get an approximate figure. We’ll confirm your rate with you before offering any projects. This will be your default rate for projects on our platform, but you’ll have the option to adjust it up or down when considering a specific project.

Each applicant to the Cortance network must pass our rigorous three-step evaluation to measure subject matter expertise, professionalism, and communication skills, ensuring you work with true engineering excellence. These steps include: - CV and portfolio evaluation; - background and identity check; - oral and written English proficiency tests; - coding test task; - live interview.

After applying, the hiring process involves several assessment stages - CV screening, expectation alignment, and personal profile on the Cortance platform creation. After all general check-ins on our side, there are a Communication & Character Assessment and a tech interview, which includes two parts: passing tricky technical assessments to evaluate both the breadth and depth of your expertise and Expert-Led Live Evaluation to showcase your ability to solve complex problems under pressure, communicate technical concepts clearly, and apply creative solutions to real-world scenarios. This comprehensive approach helps ensure a good fit. When all the stages are passed, we start looking for a project for you. The project-seeking timeline can vary, but is typically around 1-2 weeks, depending on the candidate's skills and availability of relevant projects. There may be some response delays if there is a high demand from other applicants or a lack of current project needs in the candidate's specific tech stack. But Cortance commits to providing feedback at each stage. The live evaluation is an important part of the assessment to gauge the candidate's real-world problem-solving and communication skills under pressure, but if we see that there are no projects related to your tech stack, Expert-Led Live Evaluation could be postponed and led when we see market demand.

Cortance's platform is public, but we automatically anonymize your profile data and photos by default. This keeps your participation discreet from your current employer. However, an unmasked profile with your full information tends to attract more client interest and opportunities. The choice is yours - we enable you to control the level of public exposure.
