  • Written and spoken English checked in the interview and in their written answers.
  • Previous experience working with US companies.

Time-zone overlap

Your developer works your hours, so stand-ups, pairing, and code review happen during your day. The Philippines is on UTC+8 all year and does not change its clocks. A U.S. 9-to-5 falls here in Manila time:

U.S. 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. shown in Philippine time (UTC+8).
Your time zoneManila, U.S. daylight saving timeManila, U.S. standard time
Eastern (ET)9 p.m. – 5 a.m.10 p.m. – 6 a.m.
Central (CT)10 p.m. – 6 a.m.11 p.m. – 7 a.m.
Mountain (MT)11 p.m. – 7 a.m.12 a.m. – 8 a.m.
Pacific (PT)12 a.m. – 8 a.m.1 a.m. – 9 a.m.

For a UK team, 9 a.m. in London is 4 p.m. in Manila during British Summer Time and 5 p.m. in winter.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire a software developer through Rekruuto?

A full-time software developer starts at $2,500 a month. That covers one dedicated developer, 40 hours a week, in your time zone. You pay one monthly invoice, and we handle paying your developer.

Which developer roles do you place?

Full-stack, front-end React, back-end Node.js, Python, PHP and Laravel, WordPress, Shopify, mobile (React Native or Flutter), QA and test automation, and DevOps. Running another stack? Tell us on the strategy call and we screen for it.

How do you vet developers?

We accept only the top 2% of applicants. Candidates complete a practical exercise in the stack you name and a technical interview before you meet them. You then interview your shortlist yourself.

Is this a freelancer or a full-time hire?

A full-time hire: one developer, 40 hours a week, dedicated to your team. You manage the day-to-day work, and we handle recruiting and paying them.

Will an offshore developer work my hours?

Yes. Our developers work in your time zone, so stand-ups, code review, and questions happen during your working day. The Philippines is on UTC+8 all year, so for a U.S. team that usually means a night shift in Manila.

Who owns the code an offshore developer writes?

Your business. Keep the repositories, cloud accounts, and app store accounts in your company's name and give the developer access to them. Our professionals sign NDAs.

How does the 1-week trial work?

You work together for a full week first. If you are not satisfied, we find a replacement or refund your money.

How fast can a developer start?

Hiring and onboarding take 14 days. The first week of work is the trial.
