Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you fill a role?
Most roles are filled within 2 to 4 weeks. Our pre-vetted network lets us find people who match your technical needs and your culture quickly, and for urgent needs we can often share a shortlist within 72 hours.
What happens during the 14-day trial?
The developer works with your team on real work, so you can judge their technical skills, communication and fit. If it isn't the right fit, you pay nothing for the trial.
What hours will they work?
Our developers are 0 to 3 hours' difference from the UK across East and West Africa, and work hours that overlap with your team's.
Who do we deal with day to day?
You manage the work, and one accountable account lead at Accelerayt looks after everything else: contracts, HR, payroll, and any issues that come up.
What contracts and data protection do you use?
Our contracts are governed by English law. We handle personal data under UK GDPR, with international transfer arrangements in place, and we will share our security policy before work starts.
How do you vet your developers?
Technical assessments, live coding, portfolio reviews and behavioural interviews. We look at problem-solving, communication and alignment with mission-driven work as well as technical skill. Only the top 5% of applicants make it into our network.
Can we scale up or down?
Yes. You can add developers as projects grow or reduce the team when you need to, from a single developer to a whole remote team.
