For solo founders
A developer you don’t have to vet yourself
Every candidate passes a technical assessment before you meet them. If the hire isn’t right, we replace them inside 30 days.
- The SoTalented Office Guarantee
- Works in your time zone
- $0 until you hire
Sound familiar.
- You know what you want built, not how to judge who should build it.
- Two marketplace hires didn’t work out.
- Every candidate sounds good on a call.
For example
Say you’re building on your own. You’ve hired two developers off a marketplace, both sounded right, and neither worked out. Telling a strong developer from a confident one isn’t your field, and it shouldn’t have to be.
Let us do the judging. Every candidate passes a technical assessment and an English and time zone check before you meet them. You decide who fits how you work. And if the hire isn’t right, we replace them inside 30 days, free.
You stop gambling on the hire and get back to the product.
What you’d set up.
Every seat is dedicated to your company and never shared. Prices are per person, per month, all-inclusive, and differ by level.

Can I start with one seat?
