Frequently Asked Questions
We understand—hiring the wrong developer costs time, money, and team morale. That's why only 5% of applicants make it through our vetting process.
Our 5-step screening:
- Resume review: Verify experience, check references, validate past projects
- Technical assessment: 90-minute coding test covering algorithms, system design, and best practices
- Live coding challenge: 60-minute pair programming session solving real-world problems

- Culture fit interview: Team collaboration scenarios, work style preferences, timezone flexibility
Result: Average developer rating of 4.8/5.0 across 250+ placements. 95% client retention rate over 3+ years.
Your safety net: If a developer doesn't meet your standards within the first 2 weeks, we'll replace them immediately—no questions, no fees.
Valid concern—technical debt compounds over time. Here's how we prevent it:
Before placement:
- Review code samples from previous projects
- Verify understanding of best practices (SOLID, DRY, design patterns)
- Check familiarity with testing frameworks
During engagement:
- Mandatory code review process (you review their code)
- Adherence to your team's coding standards
- Documentation requirements built into workflow
- Automated testing requirements (minimum 80% coverage)
Quality monitoring:
- Quarterly performance reviews
- Code quality metrics tracking
- Client satisfaction surveys
- Developer receives feedback for continuous improvement
You're always in control: Developers follow your architecture decisions, coding standards, and review process. They're an extension of your team, not a separate entity.
You maintain 100% control. Our developers report directly to you, not to us. Here's the working model:
Your responsibilities:
- Daily task assignment and prioritization
- Code review and approval
- Technical direction and architecture decisions
- Performance feedback and guidance
Our responsibilities:
- HR administration (payroll, benefits, equipment)
- Conflict resolution (if needed)
- Performance monitoring (quarterly reviews)
- Replacement coordination (if required)
Communication:
- Developers use your tools (Slack, Jira, GitHub, etc.)
- Participate in your standups, retros, and planning
- Follow your processes and workflows
- Available during your core business hours (4+ hour overlap guaranteed)
Think of it this way: They're your employees for work purposes, our employees for HR purposes. You get the control of in-house staff without the overhead.
How do I coo
15+ tech stacks including Java, .NET, Python, JavaScript/React, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and mobile (React Native, Xamarin). See the complete list above.
Legal protections:
- NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement): Signed before any code access
- IP assignment: All code and work product belongs to you
- Non-compete: Developers can't work for your direct competitors during engagement
- Data protection agreement: GDPR/CCPA compliant
Technical security measures:
- Access controls: Developers only access what they need
- Audit trails: All code changes tracked in version control
- Equipment security: Encrypted hard drives, VPN requirements
- No code downloads: Repository access only (no local copies of full codebase)
Your additional controls:
- Use your own repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
- Your security policies apply
- You control access permissions
- You can require specific security tools
Real example: Financial services client required PCI compliance and developers to work only from secure office locations (no home work). We accommodated both requirements.

Brenda CrainicCTO at Tacit Innovations
We were encouraged because Softjourn asked the right questions, involved people with the right experience in to the conversations. Showed good leadership in managing the process of walking them through the sales process, keeping them on track, and has a lot of strong knowledge in the financial area, as they are a small software developer company and there are always so many other things that are pulling us in multiple directions. As well Softjourn shows a lot of experience in multiple programming languages and in combining them in to one product.
Results are fantastic. On either iPhones or Android phones, the app is easy to use and really attractive. We're increasing our activity in the consumer market, and these great-looking, great-functioning apps will help us expand our reach.
We have found Softjourn to be an excellent development partner. They have been consistent on deliverables and timelines, have workshopped solutions with our team, and made insightful suggestions for improving the UI/UX and functionality of our apps. We're very happy with the finished products and look forward to the opportunity to work with Softjourn again in the future.
