Secret formula for seamless TechTalent–TechCo matching
Our secret formula? We're all about seamless matches. – Sergiu Matei, CEO & Co-founder
Over 74% of tech companies admit they've hired the wrong person for a job. That's not just lost money, but wasted time, reduced productivity, and a hit to the bottom line.
That's where Index.dev comes in, paving an opportunity to embrace a better way of working. We're not your typical job board, dev shop, or software agency, or freelance hub. We're a remote-work platform that connects high-performing developers with leading US & UK projects.
Unlike freelancers or agencies with their bidding wars and high turnover, we excel in talent management and integration. Our engineers aren't just on the sidelines – they're part of your team. Full-time, fully remote, and fully committed.
We operate on a pay-as-you-go model without any minimum commitment, ensuring that clients only pay for the hours worked. We handle the nitty-gritty – timesheets, legal matters, payments – so you can focus on your core business. Our platform takes care of all the complexities of managing remote contractors, simplifying the entire process. Unlike traditional experiences of managing remote engineers, Index.dev ensures easy team management, eliminating late-night calls, communication issues, and disconnection with local teams.
And if things ever hit a snag, we've got your back with a seamless replacement process.

Our mission is to discover these hidden talents worldwide and provide them with the greatest gift they seek — opportunity. – Eugene Garla, VP of Talent
At Index.dev, we pride ourselves on curating high-performing tech talent poised to perform from day one. Through evaluating over 200,000 developers, we've pinpointed key traits common among tech talents with outstanding retention rates.

Secret formula for offering best job opportunities for our contractors
Our keystone proposition to software engineers is the assurance of job security, reliability, and high-quality projects. – Mike Sokirka, VP of Sales & Co-founder

What sets us apart?
- Rigorous client screening. We only want to work with trustworthy companies, that’s why we pre-qualify them before we start our collaboration. We vet companies thoroughly, assessing track record, budget, third-party references, culture, and funding ability. This guarantees fair pay, ending freelancer concerns like client ghosting and payment issues.
- No bidding or rate undercutting. We ensure timely payment, even if a company defaults. Our engagements with top tech firms last an average of 13 months, providing job stability. Positive talent reviews mean swift placement into new projects.
- Guidance and support: Our dedicated (and trained) Account Managers offer crucial guidance, from onboarding to project completion – a true differentiator in our service.
