Build Your Team

Get Started

Technically Skilled Teams

CoDev connects companies with exceptional engineering, marketing, and support professionals from emerging markets. We hire with the long term in mind and take pride in the people who make CoDev what it is.

Rigorous Talent Screening

We evaluate each candidate’s expertise using Codility, an industry-leading assessment platform, alongside reviews from our panel of experts who continually refine the process. We also use TrueNorth to measure language proficiency, ensuring every professional can communicate and collaborate effectively within your team.

Growth-Minded Experts

Because CoDev employees are long-term investments, we seek out professionals with a genuine drive to learn and grow. At CoDev, we believe everyone is a work in progress — but progress only happens when you want it. That hunger for growth is something we actively look for in our recruiting and continue to nurture throughout each employee’s journey with us.

Coaching That Never Stops

CoDev’s experienced coaches meet with employees in bi-weekly one-on-ones, focused on continuous learning and growth. With consistent feedback and support, we make every workday an opportunity for our people to build skills, expand opportunities, and create a better life.

Careers Not Gigs

CoDev is committed to long-term careers, not short-term placements. When an engagement ends, we support our talent with training, reskilling, and preparation for their next opportunity, ensuring continuity for them and quality for our clients.

The Hiring Process

We apply a comprehensive vetting process that includes English and coding assessments, background checks, education screenings, code samples, and multiple interviews.

Pre-Screening

Candidates provide their background in our proprietary hiring system. Approved candidates who meet our experience criteria are then asked to complete technical skills assessments (Codility when available or using expert interviews where a skill is not covered by Codility’s testing library). All candidates complete TrueNorth’s language testing.

CoDev Matching

CoDev’s Customer Success Manager along with our recruiter will use your Job Description to create a profile in our candidate database. The best matches for your job description will be reviewed by your CoDev team and you will be recommended a list to review.

Candidate List Review

You’ll be given access to our customer portal where the recommended candidates will be presented to you. In the portal, you can comment on candidates and request an interview.

Interviews

The final step interviews. We have suggested interview questions for customers, but this is really your time to review your candidates and make sure they’re a great fit for your team.

FREquently asked

What does CoDev do as an outsourcing company?

CoDev helps independent software vendors (ISVs) scale their teams without slowing product velocity or sacrificing quality. We provide vetted offshore talent that embeds directly into your engineering, product, and go-to-market teams—so you can ship faster, support customers better, and grow sustainably.

Instead of short-term outsourcing, CoDev partners with ISVs to build long-term, stable teams that support evolving roadmaps and customer demands.

Where are CoDev’s offshore teams located?

CoDev’s offshore teams are primarily based in the Philippines, where we operate secure, enterprise-grade offices designed to support software and SaaS companies. This delivery model gives ISVs access to highly skilled talent with strong English proficiency and cultural alignment—without the challenges of managing international infrastructure.

CoDev is U.S.-headquartered and manages all HR, IT, security, and compliance.

What types of roles can I outsource through CoDev?

ISVs work with CoDev to staff roles across their full product and growth lifecycle, including:

Engineering: backend, frontend, full-stack developers, DevOps, QA, AI/ML
Product & Platform Support: QA, release support, technical operations
Revenue & Growth: SDRs, marketing support, RevOps
Operations: assistants and operational support roles

Whether you’re filling a skill gap or scaling a full product team, CoDev adapts to your stage of growth.

How does CoDev’s talent screening process work?

CoDev’s screening process is designed specifically for software and SaaS environments, prioritizing technical competency, communication, and long-term fit. Candidates go through skills-based evaluations, communication assessments, and role-specific interviews before being introduced to clients.

This ensures ISVs meet talent who can contribute to complex codebases and collaborative product teams.

What makes CoDev different from other outsourcing companies?

Most outsourcing firms optimize for speed and volume. CoDev optimizes for retention, stability, and impact—which matters for ISVs with long-term roadmaps.

Key differences include:

48-month average talent tenure
30-Day Fit Guarantee
Flexible engagement models as needs evolve
Secure infrastructure suitable for SaaS and regulated environments
Teams that grow with your product—not churn out after six months

Can I hire a single offshore developer or a full offshore software development team?

Yes. ISVs can start with a single developer to address a specific need or build a full offshore product team aligned to long-term development goals. Many ISVs begin small and scale as their product matures or customer demand increases.

CoDev supports venture-backed and established ISVs that are scaling product teams to meet growing customer and roadmap demands.

How long does it take to hire through CoDev?

Most ISVs see qualified candidate options within 1–2 weeks. From there, the timeline to an accepted offer is typically around 30 days, depending on role complexity, interview availability, and how quickly your team wants to move. We keep the process fast without cutting corners on technical quality or fit.

What happens if the developer is not the right fit?

CoDev offers a 30-Day Fit Guarantee. If a hire isn’t the right fit within the first 30 days, CoDev will replace the talent or provide a refund.

How does CoDev handle communication and time zones?

CoDev team members work overlapping U.S. business hours and collaborate directly with in-house teams using tools like Slack, Jira, GitHub, and sprint ceremonies. Offshore developers participate as true members of your product team—not disconnected vendors.

What does CoDev’s Customer Success manager do?

Each CoDev client is supported by a dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM) who acts as a long-term partner throughout the engagement. The CSM helps ensure offshore team members are fully integrated into your workflows, expectations, and communication rhythms.

Your CSM supports:

Smooth onboarding and team ramp-up
Ongoing performance check-ins
Alignment as product needs or roadmaps evolve
Proactive issue resolution

Is CoDev compliant with U.S. and international labor laws?

Yes. CoDev is fully compliant with U.S. and international labor laws and operates as the legal employer for all offshore team members. We manage employment contracts, payroll, benefits, taxes, and local labor requirements—so clients avoid the legal and operational risks of international hiring.

This structure allows ISVs to scale globally with confidence, without needing to set up foreign entities or navigate complex regulations.

What industries does CoDev support?

CoDev primarily supports technology-driven companies, with a strong focus on:

Independent Software Vendors
SaaS companies
IT services and technology platforms

Our teams are experienced in fast-moving, roadmap-driven environments where quality, security, and long-term stability matter. While our core expertise is in software and technology, many of our clients also operate in adjacent industries with strong technical or digital components.

How do I get started with CoDev?

Getting started with CoDev begins with a conversation about your goals, team needs, and growth plans. From there, we align on the roles, skills, and engagement model that make the most sense for your stage and roadmap.

Once aligned, CoDev begins sourcing and presenting vetted candidates—often within the first couple of weeks—so you can move toward building your team with confidence.
