## Services

### Recruitment (Direct Hire)

- Page: https://www.prodevs.io/en/direct-hire
- Definition: End-to-end hiring for permanent and contract roles across
  engineering, product, design, QA, AI, and DevOps. ProDevs sources, vets, and
  shortlists; the client hires the talent directly onto their own team.
- Ideal customer: Startups, scale-ups, and enterprises adding permanent
  team members — locally in Africa or remotely for teams in the US, UK, EU,
  Canada, and the Middle East.
- Pricing model: One-time placement fee of 10–15% of the developer's
  first-year salary. Nothing is charged to receive a shortlist.
- Timelines: Vetted shortlist within 48 hours of a signed brief; typical
  hire completed in 2–3 weeks.
- Guarantee: 2-week replacement guarantee.

### Outsourcing (Dedicated Talent & Managed Teams)

- Page: https://www.prodevs.io/en/outsourcing
- Definition: Dedicated outsourced talent and structured team expansion.
  ProDevs recruits the talent, handles contracts and support, and stays
  accountable for delivery quality — the client gets output without
  headcount admin.
- Ideal customer: Companies that need to expand engineering capacity
  flexibly without compromising quality, or want a managed team without
  running local hiring, payroll, and compliance themselves.
- Pricing model: Monthly retainer per talent — part-time or full-time,
  rate tailored to role, seniority, and hours. Includes a dedicated
  customer success manager.
- Timelines: Shortlist in 48 hours; teams typically productive within
  2–3 weeks.
- Guarantee: 2-week replacement guarantee.

### Gigs (Project-Based Work)

- Page: https://www.prodevs.io/en/gigs
- Definition: Fixed-scope, project-based engagements — hourly or
  milestone-based — for companies that need product, engineering, or
  technical execution without hiring anyone permanently. Post a gig,
  get matched with vetted specialists, pay per milestone through escrow.
- Ideal customer: Founders and teams with a defined project (MVP build,
  feature sprint, integration, audit, design system) or recurring
  specialist work that doesn't justify a full-time hire.
- Pricing model: 100% free to post a gig. Pay per milestone or hourly,
  held in secure escrow and released on acceptance. 15% platform fee
  per milestone.
- Timelines: Matched with vetted specialists in 48 hours; delivery
  timeline agreed per milestone plan.
- Proof: 1,000+ projects delivered at a 95% project success rate.

### Contract-to-Hire

- Definition: Start a talent on a contract basis, convert to full-time
  when ready.
- Pricing model: Hourly rate during the trial period + one-time buyout
  fee on conversion.
- Ideal customer: Teams that want to try before committing to a
  permanent hire.

### Payroll & EOR (Handle Payment)

- Definition: ProDevs acts as the compliant employer of record — managing
  payroll, contracts, compliance, and benefits for remote African talent
  the client has already identified.
- Pricing model: 5% of salary, capped at $500/month per talent.
- Ideal customer: Companies that found their own talent but have no
  local entity to employ them compliantly.

### Software Development

- Definition: ProDevs builds software products end to end — platforms,
  portals, internal tools, web applications, mobile applications, and
  AI-enabled products — through managed delivery teams.
- Ideal customer: Founders and companies that need a product built,
  not just people hired.
