What companies were quoted locally — and what they actually paid with OctogleHire.



UKHired via OctogleHire
3× Senior Frontend Engineer
We were about to commit to three senior frontend engineers at London rates. OctogleHire matched us with equally talented engineers in under a week — and we're saving over £200k a year.
Our initial budget for a developer in the UK was £75,000. OctogleHire placed an equally skilled engineer for just £38,000 — saving us nearly half without compromising on quality.
Hiring three engineers locally in the UK was going to cost us £15,000 a month. OctogleHire placed all three at £2,000 each — saving us over £108k a year without compromising on quality.

Great quality, but slow placements and pricing that excludes most growing teams.
Zero upfront fees. OctogleHire developers cost 40–60% less than equivalent local hires. You only pay a transparent monthly rate once your developer starts — no placement fees, no markups.
We source, vet, and deliver candidates for free. Once you engage a developer, pay us a simple monthly rate — we handle payroll, compliance, and contracts.
Monthly rate per developer begins on their start date
14-day replacement guarantee included
Direct access to browse and engage from 1,000+ pre-vetted engineers — no waiting, no delivery window.
Custom monthly rates · Volume pricing available
30-day replacement guarantee included
Enterprise plans with custom SLAs available on request.
You'll receive 3–5 vetted candidate profiles within 48 hours of your demo call. Most companies go from first intro to signed contract in under 5 business days — compared to 6–12 weeks with traditional agencies.
Every developer passes a 5-stage process: application screening, stack-specific technical assessment, live system design interview, soft-skills and communication evaluation, and reference checks. From over 25,000 applicants reviewed, only 1,000 have been accepted into our network.
Every engineer in our network completes the Octogle AI Playbook — 40+ hours of hands-on training across six modules: Cursor & Claude Code, RAG & context engineering, agentic development, prompt-driven testing, model selection & cost control, and spec-first collaboration. They arrive already fluent in the tools that define modern software — not just aware of them.
Both. Our vetting evaluates real engineering fundamentals — system design, debugging, production judgement — and we train explicitly against over-reliance on AI output. Every certified engineer is assessed on when to lean on AI, when to override it, and how to evaluate model responses critically. AI multiplies their output; it doesn't replace their judgement.
We cover the full spectrum of software engineering: React, Node.js, Python, Go, Java, .NET, mobile (iOS/Android/Flutter), DevOps, cloud infrastructure, AI/ML, data engineering, and more. If it ships software, we can staff it.
OctogleHire developers typically cost 40–60% less than hiring locally in the US, UK, or Australia — with over 300 client companies already benefiting. There are no upfront fees — you only pay when you hire. We offer transparent monthly rates with no hidden markups or recruitment commissions.
Every placement includes a risk-free replacement guarantee — 14 days on our On-Demand plan and 30 days on our Marketplace plan. If a developer doesn't meet your expectations, we'll find a replacement at no additional cost and manage the entire transition for you.
Both. We support contract, part-time, and full-time engagements. OctogleHire handles payroll, compliance, and local employment law regardless of the arrangement — so you can focus on building your product.
Our network spans multiple time zones. During matching, we prioritise developers whose working hours overlap with yours by at least 4–6 hours, so real-time collaboration is seamless.
Yes. We manage all contracts, IP agreements, payroll, and tax compliance end-to-end. You get a single invoice — no need to set up foreign entities or navigate international employment law yourself.
Our active network includes 1,000+ pre-vetted engineers across 40+ tech stacks. From over 25,000 applicants reviewed, only 1,000 have been accepted into our active network.
94% of OctogleHire placements extend beyond 6 months. We achieve this through rigorous vetting, precise matching, and ongoing account management that ensures both sides are supported.
Yes. Over 300 companies use OctogleHire to flexibly scale their engineering teams. Add developers within 48 hours or wind down engagements with no long-term lock-in or cancellation fees.
Yes. On-Demand placements include a 14-day replacement guarantee, and Marketplace placements include a 30-day guarantee. Our replacement rate is under 6%, but if a developer isn't the right fit, we handle the entire transition at no additional cost.
OctogleHire helps you find pre-vetted global engineers, reduce hiring costs by up to 60%, and onboard in days — not months.
