Why Salt

More Than Just Resumes

We don't just match skills to job descriptions. Our developers are vetted for technical depth, communication, and the ability to own outcomes.

Rigorous Vetting

Only 3% of applicants make it through our screening. Technical assessments, live coding, system design, and soft skills evaluation.

Fast Onboarding

Pre-vetted talent pool means you can have developers start within 1-2 weeks, not months.

Risk-Free Trial

2-week trial period with every hire. If it's not a fit, we replace at no extra cost.

AI-Native Skills

Our developers use AI tools (Cursor, Copilot) daily. They ship faster without sacrificing quality.

Outcome-Oriented

Not just seat-warmers. Our developers are trained to own features, not just write code.

Scale to Pods

Start with individuals, scale to full Pods when ready. Built-in path to managed delivery.

  • Integrate with your existing processes

  • Best for specific skill gaps

Common Questions

Hiring FAQ

Answers to the questions we hear most often about hiring developers through Salt.

How long does it take to hire a developer through Salt?

Typically 1-2 weeks from initial request to developer onboarding. We have a pre-vetted talent pool ready to engage, which significantly reduces hiring time compared to traditional recruitment.

What's the difference between hiring individual developers vs. a Pod?

Individual developers extend your existing team and work under your management. Pods are cross-functional teams (3-8 people) with built-in processes, QA, and tech leadership who deliver complete features or products with full accountability. We recommend Pods for better outcomes, but both options are available.

Can I start with one developer and scale later?

Yes, absolutely. Many clients start with 1-2 developers and scale to full Pods as needs grow. Our flexible model supports both individual contributors and full teams. There's no penalty for scaling up or down.

What if a developer isn't a good fit?

We offer a risk-free trial period. If a developer isn't the right fit within the first two weeks, we'll replace them at no additional cost. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we work hard to ensure good matches from the start.

What time zones do your developers work in?

Our developers are based in India but maintain significant overlap with US time zones (typically 4-6 hours). Many of our developers work flexible schedules to maximize collaboration time with US-based teams.

How do you vet developers before hiring?

Our vetting process includes technical assessments, coding challenges, live coding interviews, system design evaluations, and soft skills assessment. We evaluate communication, problem-solving, and cultural fit. Only about 3% of applicants make it through our full process.

Do developers work exclusively for my company?

Yes, dedicated developers work full-time on your projects only. They become an extension of your team, attend your standups, and follow your processes. No sharing across clients.

What's included in the engagement besides developer time?

Beyond developer hours, you get an engagement manager for coordination, access to our tooling and processes, regular check-ins, and support from our leadership team. For Pods, you also get built-in QA, tech leads, and our SPARK™ framework.
