How do you vet and select your developers and designers?

We source top-tier international talent on-demand, strictly focusing on senior professionals with at least 7 years of experience. Our rigorous, multi-stage vetting process prioritizes both technical excellence and clear communication: Initial Screening: After a CV review and brief screening call, our HR Director conducts an in-depth interview to evaluate English fluency, communication skills, cultural fit, and contractual alignment. Technical & Portfolio Validation: Developers must pass a coding test or thorough code review. For designers, our CEO and Lead Designer personally evaluate portfolios to handpick the absolute best. Your Final Approval: We match shortlisted candidates to your tech stack and industry. You then conduct the final interview to make the ultimate hiring decision. Guided Onboarding: Our CEO, HR Director, and Project Manager closely guide the new team member through their first few days to align with your workflows, followed by continuous check-ins over the following weeks to guarantee a seamless integration.

What time zones do your developers work in? How much overlap will we have?

We work with a globally distributed team spanning multiple time zones across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. To ensure seamless teamwork, we guarantee at least a 3-hour daily working overlap with your core team for real-time collaboration, check-ins, and communication.

How do your engagement models work? Are we tied to a long-term contract?

No, we do not require long-term commitments. We offer Time & Materials and Fixed-Scope models with a flexible 30-day notice period, giving you full control to scale up or down based on your roadmap. Depending on your needs, you can hire a single developer or designer to integrate with your team, a co-managed squad with a Starshot Project Manager, or an autonomous team focused on delivering an outcome-based solution. To guarantee complete peace of mind, if any team member is not the right fit, we replace them at zero extra cost.

How quickly can we get started?

If we assign existing members of the Starshot team to your project, we can complete onboarding and get to work in less than 1 week. When custom recruitment is required, our standard timeline is 3 to 4 weeks, which covers position scoping, targeted sourcing, technical vetting, client interviews, and onboarding. For larger team deployments, you don't have to wait until the entire team is recruited. We start as soon as the Project Manager and first core members are ready, scaling up the rest of the team in planned phases.

Will we work directly with your developers and designers, or through an account manager?

Yes, you will have direct, unfiltered communication with your assigned developers and designers. We integrate them directly into your company’s communication channels so they function as a natural extension of your team. To guarantee a flawless experience, we also provide dual support on the management side. First, a Project Manager (PM) whose role adapts to your setup. Either actively managing the team's daily tasks using Scrum methodologies, or simply stepping back to oversee the team’s performance if you prefer to lead. Second, you are assigned a dedicated Account Executive (AE) who focuses on the macro-level relationship. Your AE maintains regular contact with you to ensure overall satisfaction, proactively anticipate any challenges, and address broader needs such as scaling your team or tackling new projects.
