Question 1

How is RocketDevs so affordable compared to other platforms?

Accepted Answer

RocketDevs sources world‑class engineers from emerging markets where talent is abundant but traditional opportunities are limited, allowing you to access senior‑level skill at a fraction of competitor rates. Our customers see 4x cost savings compared with alternative networks.

Question 2

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

You pay only for the hours your developer actually works, at an agreed hourly rate per developer. Each developer has a minimum commitment of 40 hours per month, and your invoice is calculated as logged hours × hourly rate, with no hidden platform or placement fees.

Question 3

How do you vet developers?

Accepted Answer

Our vetting is a rigourously structured, multi‑step process including technical assessments, live coding, architecture, AI fluency skills, system design conceptualisation and problem‑solving interviews, and communication evaluations, typically taking 6–8 hours per candidate. All powered by our cutting edge proprietary technology, Hivemind. Less than 5% of applicants pass the criteria to get accepted into our network, and we share all the assessment results so you can see each developer's strengths, gaps, and ideal use‑cases before you decide.

Question 4

Can I see how my developer was assessed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide a fully transparent skills profile on each developer for your own perusal, summarizing test scores, interview feedback, and real‑world project experience and results so you know exactly who you're hiring. We open source 100% of assessment results. You can even review recorded sessions so your team can align with technical expectations and culture fit before you hire.

Question 5

Where do your developers come from?

Accepted Answer

We are expanding our roster globally, but we still focus primarily on high‑caliber developers across Africa, Asia, and Europe, where talent is abundant but often overlooked. Our recruiters and proprietary recruiting software enable tapping into leading tech hubs in these regions to build a curated network of remote‑ready engineers who've already proven they can deliver for international teams.

Question 6

How strong is the developers' English and communication?

Accepted Answer

All engineers are screened for advanced spoken and written English, including asynchronous communication, documentation, and collaboration tools. We prioritize developers with prior remote work experience so they're comfortable working with distributed teams, standups, and async updates from day one.

Question 7

How do you ensure my developer is actually working and delivering?

Accepted Answer

We use a transparency‑first approach: developers log time with clear work logs so you can always see hours and progress. We also capture screenshots every 3 minutes while they're on the clock, and you get a real‑time dashboard with screenshots and activity history to quickly audit work.

Question 8

Can developers work in my time zone?

Accepted Answer

We prioritize overlapping working hours with your team: European clients usually have full‑day overlap, while North American and APAC clients get a defined 4–8 hour daily overlap depending on location. During matching, we confirm each developer's preferred schedule and align it with your working hours so you have predictable collaboration windows for standups, reviews, and deep‑work time.

Question 9

Are RocketDevs developers full‑time on my project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can engage developers in a full‑time, dedicated capacity, but all engagements are billed hourly with a 40‑hour per month minimum per developer, as outlined in our pricing.

Question 10

Is my developer an employee of my company?

Accepted Answer

You work with your developer like they're part of your in‑house team day‑to‑day, while RocketDevs handles sourcing, contracting, and payments so you don't have to hire directly or set up entities. Developers are engaged as independent contractors within RocketDevs' network, and we sit between you and the talent for all HR related matters such as contracts, compliance, salaries and billing.

Question 11

What if I'm not satisfied with my developer?

Accepted Answer

Every engagement starts with a 14 day trial period where you can assess fit; if you're not happy and tell us during the trial, you won't be invoiced for that period. We'll source a replacement developer on the same day based on your feedback, and you'll receive another trial period for the new match.

Question 12

Do you offer a refund or guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our trial‑first model means if you communicate during the trial that a developer isn't a fit, we will not invoice you for that period and will work to find a better match for you. Beyond the trial, we prioritize fast remediation and replacement over refunds, so if issues arise, we step in quickly to adjust scope, expectations, or talent.

Question 13

How fast can you match me with a developer?

Accepted Answer

You can get matched with a vetted developer and have them fully onboarded and shipping work within 48 hours of your requirements intake.

Question 14

What kinds of developers can I hire through RocketDevs?

Accepted Answer

Frontend, backend, full‑stack, mobile, AI/ML, DevOps, no‑code, and UI/UX developers through RocketDevs, with more specialized roles being added as we expand our network.

Question 15

How does RocketDevs work with my existing tools and processes?

Accepted Answer

Developers plug directly into your existing tools and processes — your repos, issue tracker, and communication stack — so they work as part of your in‑house team from day one. If you're non‑technical or still setting things up, we provide simple templates, workflows, and guidance so you can run your team and manage delivery without needing an engineering background.

Question 16

What does the hiring process look like with RocketDevs?

Accepted Answer

Share your role and requirements. We shortlist vetted developers, you interview your favourites, then start a trial period to confirm fit before committing longer‑term. We will be with you every step of the way to find your perfect match.
