FAQ

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

Total Cost of Ownership drops up to 45 % when you Hire Directus developer talent via smartbrain.io. In-house recruitment demands job ads, recruiter commissions, HR payroll, benefits, equipment and office overhead. Our single blended hourly rate covers all of that plus taxes, compliance and retention programs. You only pay for productive engineering hours, with no 401(k) matches, healthcare premiums or severance. Additionally, you avoid the opportunity cost of a 6-8-week hiring cycle—our average onboarding time is 2.3 days, meaning features ship sooner and generate revenue earlier. Over a 12-month period most clients save six figures while keeping full IP and source-code ownership.

How does smartbrain.io protect my intellectual property when we outstaff Directus developers?

Every Directus specialist signs a strict NDA and IP assignment agreement before touching your repo. Code is committed to your GitHub, Bitbucket or on-prem repo, ensuring you remain the sole owner. smartbrain.io is SOC-2 compliant and enforces device encryption, multi-factor authentication and restricted network access. We monitor endpoints 24/7 and can supply developer activity logs on request. Should you end a contract, access is revoked immediately and all local data is securely wiped.

Can I get developers who work in my time zone?

Yes. Our talent cloud spans North America, LATAM and EMEA, allowing us to align within ±3 hours of any U.S. time zone. During discovery we record your preferred overlap windows and only shortlist candidates who can attend stand-ups, demos and incident calls within that range.

What happens if the assigned Directus engineer is not the right fit?

smartbrain.io offers a two-week risk-free trial and a lifetime replacement guarantee. If performance or cultural alignment is off, we’ll provide a replacement from our vetted pool—usually within 48 hours—at no extra cost. Your project timeline remains protected.

How quickly can we start after signing?

Most clients conduct final interviews within 24 hours of receiving a shortlist and kick-off the following business day. Contracts and onboarding docs are e-signed online, meaning you can have a Directus expert committing code in less than 48 hours.

Do I need long-term contracts?

No. Engagements are month-to-month, so you can scale headcount up or down as product needs change. Many clients ramp up during feature spikes, then taper to maintenance mode—zero penalties, zero paperwork.

How are candidates vetted for Directus expertise?

Each engineer passes a 7-step process: CV screening, live coding on Directus APIs, architecture interview with a staff CTO, English fluency test, soft-skills assessment, reference checks and a paid project. Only 2.6 % reach our talent cloud, ensuring you work with proven Directus specialists from day one.
