Find your perfectly matched developers among the cluster of the world's top

When it comes to bringing on new development talent, we have some non-negotiable criteria to ensure we deliver the highest caliber of service: - You have a minimum of 3 years of proven commercial experience; - You have strong English proficiency and can communicate clearly and confidently, both in writing and during interviews; - You can commit to at least 20 hours per week, with a preference for full-time, 40-hour availability.

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 is different from a typical outstaff company in a few key ways: - Flexible project options: Our platform allows you to choose between short-term and long-term projects that align with your interests. If a project we suggest on our platform doesn't seem like a good fit, you can decline it or just not apply to it, looking forward to more suitable proposals; - Streamlined hiring process: We don't drag out the hiring process for months or put candidates through an extensive series of interviews. Our assessment is efficient while still ensuring a good match; - Faster onboarding: Unlike some outstaff providers, we don't have lengthy delays before you can start work. The flexibility to select preferred projects, coupled with a more straightforward hiring experience, sets Cortance apart from a traditional outstaff company model. We're focused on quickly connecting talented freelancers with the right opportunities for them.

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.

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 168 (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.
