FAQ

What is the real cost to hire Ghost developers through smartbrain.io?

Total cost equals the engineer’s hourly rate plus a flat service margin—no recruiting commission, no annual licenses. Because Ghost is Node-based, rates trend 25–30 % below full-stack JS salaries in the U.S. You pay only for productive hours worked, with one consolidated invoice. That means predictable budgeting and freedom from payroll tax, benefits, PTO, and legal filings. Many CTOs report overall savings of 40 % compared with in-house hiring while gaining the flexibility to scale headcount each sprint. Hire Ghost developer talent on monthly or milestone-based contracts and cancel anytime after the first 14-day trial.

How does smartbrain.io protect my IP when I augment with Ghost programmers?

Every Ghost developer signs a strict NDA and an assignment of inventions agreement before they see your repo. All work is performed in secure, access-controlled environments. Repositories live in your GitHub or Bitbucket, so you hold the keys. Smartbrain.io enforces SOC2-aligned policies, optional VPN tunneling, and two-factor authentication. We’ve passed audits for healthcare, fintech, and government clients—your code, data, and brand stay yours.

Can outstaffed Ghost developers work in my time zone?

Yes. We maintain talent pools across North America, Latin America, and Europe, ensuring at least 4 hours of daily overlap with your team. Specify your preferred window—our matching algorithm surfaces candidates who already work those hours, reducing coordination friction.

What contract terms are available for Ghost staff augmentation?

Engagements start at one month and extend indefinitely. Choose full-time (40 hrs/week) or part-time (20 hrs/week). Scale up or down with 10-day notice. No long-term lock-ins, and you can replace or add developers at any time without penalties.

How does smartbrain.io vet each Hire Ghost developer candidate?

We pre-screen resumes, run English communication interviews, assess algorithmic thinking with Codility, and perform live Ghost CMS code reviews moderated by a senior architect. Only the top 2 % pass. You receive anonymized scorecards and Git repos before scheduling your final interview—saving dozens of internal engineer hours.

Is there a replacement guarantee if the Ghost developer is not a fit?

Absolutely. If performance or cultural alignment misses the mark during the first two weeks, smartbrain.io will provide a new, equal-or-higher caliber Ghost developer at no extra cost and no schedule slip. Our 97 % retention rate means replacements are rare—but peace of mind is built in.

How quickly can we start once we sign the MSAs?

After you approve the short-list, developers can join Slack and push their first commit within 48 hours. On average, clients move from kickoff call to productive coding in 2–3 business days—far faster than the 6–8 week cycle of traditional hiring.
