Local costs based on 2025 Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, and StackOverflow Developer Survey medians across US, UK, and EU markets, plus 30% employer overhead. SoTalented pricing is all-inclusive monthly. No hidden fees.

Same talent. Different economics.

The cost difference isn't about quality. India has one of the deepest professional talent pools in the world, with engineers from IITs and ISBs (India's top engineering and business schools) and top-tier product companies. The gap comes from currency and cost of living, not from capability. A senior developer in India earns a top-tier local salary and lives well. You get the same caliber of work because the economics are different, not because the talent is.

Pre-vetted before you see them
Every candidate goes through our screening and technical assessment. You interview 2-3 people who've already proven they can do the work.
Professional office, not a bedroom
Your team works from a premium co-working space with dedicated desks, reliable infrastructure, and local management oversight.
7 phases, 40+ touchpoints
We don't just place someone and disappear. We manage the entire employee lifecycle, from sourcing to performance reviews to offboarding.

One invoice. Your entire satellite office.
