Contract Staffing: The Smart Choice for Hiring Developers

This blog has been originally published on the Remote First Recruiting site

Finding the right developer for your remote team can make all the difference between continued success or falling stagnant. However, traditional methods of remote hiring through platforms like Fiverr and Upwork often fall short of meeting the needs of fast growing startups. This is why founders are embracing contract staffing and why it’s become such a game-changer for founders seeking long-term, quality developers for their teams.

Breaking up with platforms like Fiverr and Upwork 

Saying goodbye to these types of freelance platforms is a strategic move for founders aiming for sustainable growth. They work well as you’re getting your company sorted, but you eventually outgrow them. And that’s okay. While these platforms offer access to freelancers, they often lack the depth and reliability needed for long-term technical partnerships startups need. Contract staffing provides a more streamlined and hassle-free approach to finding top-tier developers who are committed to your company’s success.
