Hire a dedicated software development team that works only on your product.
Add one developer or a full team in about two weeks. You interview every person, see transparent monthly prices per role, and get project management, code review and free replacement included, with no long-term contract.
Dedicated team, or staff augmentation?
Two ways to hire developers from Hoop, depending on who you want to manage the work.
| What it is | Typical size | |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated development team (most popular) | A full, cross-functional team that works only on your product, led by our project manager. Ideal when you don't have an in-house tech lead. You set priorities; we plan sprints and report weekly. | 2–6 developers, QA, designer and a PM |
| Staff augmentation | Individual developers who join your existing team, work in your tools and report to your tech lead. Ideal for filling skill gaps or hitting a deadline. You manage the work; our engineering lead stays on hand for reviews. | 1–3 developers alongside your team |
