Selecting & matching developers

At Lemon.io, the marketplace for vetted senior developers, matching a company and a developer is handled by a human team.

Here is what happens in the 24–48 hour window after a client submits their hiring request:

• Deep intake analysis. A technical analyst reviews requirements, client call transcripts, and previous client projects, as well as implicit needs such as team culture, communication style, and pace, which are extracted alongside stack requirements.

• Targeted shortlisting. The Lemon.io team filters the vetted developer pool based on technical expertise, domain experience, availability, time zone, and communication style. Shortlisted senior developers proceed to a prep call so they arrive at the intro interview with an understanding of your project and their potential tasks.

• Custom profile delivery. A client receives 1–3 profiles, each with a written summary explaining why each developer fits their specific needs and highlighting key points from their CVs that match the client’s project type or tech stack.

No CTO? You can still hire well

When a client has no in-house technical lead, Lemon.io leans on its own vetting, walks you through each developer's CV and soft skills, and helps translate your requirements — often defined with a technical advisor upfront — into the right match.

80% of matches are delivered within 24 hours. 67% complete in under 10 hours.
