Frequently Asked Questions

What is the true cost to hire Java developers through smartbrain.io versus in-house recruiting?

When you Hire Junior Java developer talent in-house, you shoulder sourcing fees, job-board spend, HR salaries, payroll tax, equipment, retention bonuses, and—most costly—time. The Society for Human Resource Management pegs average U.S. engineering recruitment at $4,700 and 42 days. In contrast smartbrain.io charges a single all-inclusive hourly or monthly rate starting at $29/hour. There are no placement fees, and we usually introduce pre-vetted candidates within 48 hours. You pay only for productive time, skip onboarding overhead, and can downscale with one week’s notice. Add the opportunity-cost of missed releases, and total savings regularly exceed 50 %. Plus, our juniors come with senior mentorship baked into the rate, further amplifying ROI.

How does smartbrain.io protect intellectual property when I outstaff junior Java coders?

All developers sign strict NDAs and assignment-of-inventions agreements before joining your project. Source code lives exclusively in your Git repositories; VPN + SSO policies keep access traceable. smartbrain.io is SOC-2 Type II compliant, encrypts all stored credentials, and enforces multi-factor authentication. We routinely pass enterprise security audits, ensuring that IP created by our Junior Java developers remains exclusively yours.

Will time-zone differences slow my agile ceremonies?

Our talent pool spans the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. During discovery we shortlist only those junior Java engineers who can overlap at least four business hours with your team. Many U.S. clients prefer near-shore LATAM devs who match EST; European firms often choose Eastern-European time zones for seamless hand-offs.

What contract terms do you offer for Junior Java staff augmentation?

We keep paperwork light: a Master Service Agreement plus individual Work Orders. Engagements can be hourly, part-time, or full-time. Minimum term is two weeks; average term is six months. Cancel anytime with seven calendar-day notice.

How are candidates vetted before I see them?

Every Junior Java developer completes a four-step funnel: (1) CV screen for relevant internships or GitHub activity, (2) automated code challenge focused on data structures and Java 17 features, (3) live pair-programming with a senior architect, and (4) culture-fit interview. Pass-through rate is 7 %, so you only meet top performers.

What happens if the developer is not a fit after onboarding?

We provide a two-week replacement guarantee. Notify your account manager, and we will introduce new profiles—often within 24 hours—at no additional cost until you are satisfied.

How quickly can a Junior Java developer start contributing code?

Most clients schedule first interviews in two days, sign the Work Order on day four, and see first pull requests merged by the end of week one. Our devs arrive with laptops configured, IDEs warmed up, and familiarity with common CI/CD stacks like GitHub Actions. You spend less time onboarding, more time shipping.
