Hire pre-vetted European Developers

Cortance gives you access to pre-vetted software engineers across a combined pool spanning Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and Ukraine. Twelve of those are EU member states; Ukraine sits alongside them as a non-EU addition inside the same search. You are not locked into one country's talent supply, Cortance matches you by skill, seniority, and rate across all thirteen at once.

Advantages for US companies hiring European developers

A single-country hire ties your team to whatever specialists and price point that one country happens to have. Choosing from across Europe removes that limit. Portugal sits at UTC+0, while Ukraine, Romania, and Bulgaria sit at UTC+2/+3, so you can pick a developer whose morning starts with yours or one who overlaps deep into EU business hours, all from the same search. Rates run $35 to $85 an hour against $100 to $180 for an equivalent US hire, and because the pool spans thirteen countries, a request for a senior Java engineer, a Flutter developer, or an AI-focused data scientist gets matched against whichever country's bench is strongest for that skill, not whichever three people happen to be free at home.

Why European companies still hire across borders inside the EU

This part surprises US clients: EU-based companies use the same pool for reasons unrelated to a shortage at home. Under the EU's freedom to provide services, a company established in one member state can deliver services in another without registering a new local entity or obtaining a second license, a right enshrined in the Services Directive. GDPR applies the same way in Warsaw as it does in Lisbon, so a German company hiring a Polish engineer is not redoing compliance work it already completed domestically. That is why a Berlin company will hire in Bulgaria for the rate and a Dutch company will hire in Portugal for the timezone, and neither treats it as a cross-border project.

Experience across our European developers

Beyond the country list, here is what our experts are actually building right now.

1. Real-time sports analytics. A data science lead based in Portugal, with a team, built a computer vision system that processes football match video in real time, tracking every player and the ball to automatically generate per-player statistics, replacing manual video review by analysts.
2. Infrastructure monitoring at scale. A data scientists in Spain and Ukraine built a drone photogrammetry pipeline for large-scale railway infrastructure, processing aerial imagery to flag track conditions and maintenance needs before they turn into failures, work that would otherwise mean physically walking the line.
3. AI chatbots for small business. Our Poland-based experts built MayaBot, an AI chatbot platform giving small and mid-sized businesses production-grade conversational AI across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral, with custom pipeline optimizations so switching providers does not mean rebuilding the integration from scratch.
4. Marketing automation end-to-end. Our Senior full-stack engineer participated in building Wheel AI, a platform that automates digital marketing workflows by connecting Shopify and WooCommerce stores to Google and Meta Ads through AI agents running on the Gemini API.

Our multi-country team means expertise isn't sitting in one office waiting to be booked, enabling our Data, Cloud, and GenAI engineers to work on workflow automation for leading companies in Europe and the US today from various locations.
