The first engagement runs as a formal trial period — four weeks of paid work, up to 160 hours. It is structured and carefully monitored by Lemon.io’s Client & Developer Experience team.
Day 1–2
A developer is introduced to the client via email, given access to repositories, tools, and documentation, and assigned a clear first task. The client is expected to provide full context — the faster you become an individual contributor, the better.
Day 3
The Client & Developer Experience team conducts check-ins for both sides — a safety net to catch access issues, unclear expectations, or early friction before they become problems.
End of Week 1
A developer submits their first timesheet. Both sides complete a quick survey. Any “off” signals are caught and addressed immediately.
Weeks 2–3
You are expected to be delivering real value. The Client & Developer Experience team monitors progress through feedback forms.
Week 4
Both sides complete a closing survey. If the engagement continues, it rolls forward seamlessly. If not, the transition is handled cleanly with no outstanding issues.
The trial is not free — a developer are paid your full hourly rate from day one. The payments are made monthly.
