Our Vetting Funnel

We reject 99.83% of applicants.

Most “talent marketplaces” are really just lead lists. Anyone with a LinkedIn profile ends up in the pool. Ours is different — every engineer has been through a six-stage funnel, including a paid trial project graded by senior Maple54 engineers.

The 0.17% of applicants who reach “offer extended” represent the top of a very deep filter. That's why our two-week trial conversion rate is 94%.

4,200+Applications / month

Referrals, LinkedIn, GitHub, community sourcing across 40+ countries.

892Resume + portfolio review

Human review, not keyword filters. 78% rejected here on experience mismatch.

247Technical screen

Live coding, architecture discussion, domain-specific problem walk-through.

63Paid trial project

Real client-shaped work, reviewed by 2 senior Maple54 engineers, graded on 11 axes.

14Culture + communication

English fluency, async writing, timezone overlap, async-first mindset.

7Final offer extended

0.17% acceptance rate. The median hire has 7+ years of production experience.

Engagement Models

Four ways to work with us.
Pick the one that fits.

“Hire a developer” isn't one problem — it's four. You might need capacity for an existing team, an entire squad to own an outcome, a fractional leader, or a scoped project. Each engagement is priced and managed differently.

Fastest start

Staff Augmentation

Drop a senior into your existing team. Your PM, your Linear, your code-review process. 48-hour onboarding. Best when you have strong engineering leadership and need capacity, not direction.

Best for
Teams with clear roadmap + tech lead
End-to-end delivery

Dedicated Squad

A Maple54 pod (PM + 2-4 engineers + designer) owns a product area or initiative from spec to ship. Daily standups with you, weekly demos, bi-weekly retros. We provide leadership; you provide the outcome.

Best for
Founders without in-house tech lead
Leadership layer

Fractional CTO / Head of Eng

A senior leader (10-20 years experience) runs your engineering team 10-20 hrs/week. Hiring, architecture, process, 1:1s, board reporting. Common path for Seed-Series A founders.

Best for
Seed-A startups scaling team
Scoped + predictable

Project-Based / Fixed Bid

Well-defined outcome with a fixed budget and milestones (e.g., “ship this feature in 8 weeks for $42K”). Lower flexibility, higher predictability — works well for discrete launches.

Best for
Predictable scope + tight budget
Global Timezone Coverage

Follow-the-sun, if you want it.

We have senior engineers in four major timezone clusters. Need a team with daily overlap to your mornings? Easy. Need 24-hour coverage with handoffs across continents? Also easy. Staff by timezone, not just skill.

UTC-8 → UTC-3

Americas

SF → NYC → São Paulo

UTC+0 → UTC+3

Europe + Africa

London → Warsaw → Nairobi

UTC+3 → UTC+6

Middle East + South Asia

Dubai → Karachi → Dhaka

UTC+7 → UTC+12

Asia Pacific

Singapore → Tokyo → Sydney

Every engineer is matched to your required overlap window before you meet them. No “adjustments” after hire.

Our Guarantees

Four promises, in writing.

2-week mutual trial, no questions asked

If the engineer isn't a fit in the first two weeks, you owe us nothing. We replace within 72 hours from our bench. No contract drama, no awkward offboarding.

48-hour onboarding, or the first week is free

Offer accepted Monday → code committing Wednesday. If we can't meet the 48-hour window for any reason on our side, your first week of engagement is on the house.

Full IP ownership, unconditional

Every engineer signs a bespoke IP assignment on day one. Your code is your code. Maple54 retains zero rights to anything built during the engagement.

Replace within 72 hours, lifetime of engagement

If an engineer stops working out at month 4 or month 14, same rule applies: 72-hour replacement from a pre-vetted bench, no re-interview friction.

Hiring FAQ

Everything founders ask before their first hire.

How do I know your engineers are actually senior?+

Every hire has ≥ 5 years shipping production code (median is 7), has led at least one project end-to-end, and passed our paid trial project graded by two Maple54 senior engineers. We reject 99.83% of applicants. You'll see their GitHub, prior commercial references, and a 30-minute intro call before committing.

What's the real cost compared to a US / UK hire?+

A senior full-stack engineer is typically $35-$50/hr with us vs. $120-$180/hr for a comparable US hire. Annualized, you save 60-75% without sacrificing seniority. We're not offshore-cheap — we're globally-competitive with US-level quality.

What if the engineer doesn't work out?+

Two-week mutual trial on every engagement, no questions asked. If it's not a fit, we replace the engineer within 72 hours from our bench. Hiring friction is our problem, not yours.

How does timezone overlap work?+

You pick your overlap requirements upfront. We match you with engineers who can commit to 3-6 hours of live overlap with your core hours. For EU/US clients, that usually means engineers in South Asia, EU, or Latin America with flexible schedules. Fully async engagements also supported.

Who owns the IP?+

You do — unconditionally. Every engineer signs a bespoke IP assignment agreement on day one that transfers all work product to your company. Maple54 retains zero rights to your code, designs, or data. Full NDAs available.

What about security and NDAs?+

Every engineer signs NDAs + security addendums before accessing your systems. We support your SSO, GitHub permissions, VPN/Zero-Trust access, and hardware requirements (YubiKey, managed laptops, etc.). SOC 2 Type II aligned on our side.

Can I interview the engineer before hiring?+

Always. Every engagement starts with a 30-minute culture-fit and technical interview between you and the proposed engineer. If you want a paid trial week before committing, we offer that too — refundable if not a fit.

Can you scale a team up or down quickly?+

Yes. Adding engineers takes 5-10 days from request to live. Reducing headcount requires 14 days notice under our standard MSA. We keep 15-20% of our bench available at all times specifically for rapid scale requests.
