FAQ

What is the true cost to hire CodeIgniter developers via smartbrain.io?

When you Hire CodeIgniter developer talent through smartbrain.io you avoid recruiter commissions, job-board ads, and idle bench payroll. Our blended rate includes salary, local taxes, workspace, hardware, and HR support—all rolled into one transparent hourly price. Because we operate near-shore and off-shore centers, you can select cost tiers that fit your budget without compromising on skills. Most clients report total savings of 30–50 % compared to US in-house hiring once they factor benefits, retention bonuses, and downtime. Plus, billing is monthly with no long-term lock-in—so you pay only for productive hours.

How does smartbrain.io protect my IP better than a direct hire?

Every CodeIgniter engineer signs a strict NDA, assignment of invention, and local jurisdictional work-for-hire agreement before touching your repo. Our ISO-27001 certified process enforces least-privilege access, encrypted devices, and VPN tunneling. Additionally, we can host code in your GitHub or GitLab from day one, giving you 100 % control. Should an engagement end, all credentials are revoked automatically via our off-boarding checklist. These multilayer safeguards often exceed protections offered by typical in-house contracts where devices, policy enforcement, and legal recourse vary widely.

We operate in EST—how will time-zone overlap work?

smartbrain.io maintains talent pools across LatAm, Eastern Europe, and Asia-Pacific. For EST clients we guarantee at least four hours of real-time overlap for stand-ups, sprint reviews, and ad-hoc collaboration. Developers adjust core hours around your calendar, while asynchronous tools (Jira, Slack, Loom) handle the rest—often resulting in a productive follow-the-sun cycle where code ships while your team sleeps.

Can I scale the team up or down without penalties?

Yes. Contracts are month-to-month with just two weeks’ notice for roll-offs. Need more capacity? We can add additional vetted CodeIgniter specialists in under 48 hours. Conversely, if priorities shift you can reduce headcount without severance, unemployment taxes, or legal exposure common to direct employment. This elasticity lets you align burn rate with roadmap realities.

How rigorous is your candidate vetting process for CodeIgniter?

Each applicant passes a 4-stage funnel: (1) English and soft-skills interview, (2) Live coding on the CodeIgniter framework, (3) Architecture deep-dive reviewing MVC, routing, and security layers, (4) Paid project mirroring real client tasks. Fewer than 3 % reach our talent cloud, ensuring every presented profile is senior-level and battle-tested.

What happens if a developer under-performs after onboarding?

smartbrain.io offers a 2-week no-risk trial. If performance or cultural fit is lacking, we replace the developer within 48 hours at no cost. Our customer-success managers monitor weekly KPIs and proactively address any red flags—so your sprint velocity stays intact.

How quickly can we start once we sign the MSA?

Typical kickoff is 24–72 hours. As soon as the Statement of Work is countersigned, we introduce shortlisted CodeIgniter engineers, schedule technical interviews if desired, and align on tooling. Developers gain repo access, attend first stand-up, and begin coding often within two business days—far faster than traditional hiring cycles.
