  Gigster Development agency

  2 of 16 rows sourced

  Gigster is a fully managed software development service that assembles on-demand teams of vetted developers, designers, and project managers to deliver enterprise technology projects.

  Vetting

  Gigster publishes a screening funnel with the share of applicants surviving each stage: all applicants (100%), resume review (10%), a written screen (3%) of "challenging development and design questions", a phone screen (1%) that verifies "ability and background", new member (0.5%) and experienced member (0.2%), with code, timeline and design reviews continuing after a member joins. ^[2]

  Engagement

  Three engagement models: Fully Managed, where Gigster says it takes "full ownership of the development process from start to finish"; Dedicated Teams, described as "Skilled teams that are dedicated for your projects"; and Talent On Demand, "On-demand access to top-tier talent that blends with your existing team". ^[3]

A tick means our dataset holds a value the platform publishes itself, read from its own page on the date its citation carries. A cell reading "Not in our dataset" is a statement about our records, not about the company: it does not mean the platform publishes nothing.

Coming from an agency-delivery model, the change is ownership: instead of a contracted project team, you hire engineers who work embedded in your own team, contract or full-time.

   Engage on your terms

   Contract or full-time, remote from India. Payroll, contracts and compliance are handled by Flexiple; you pay only from the day an engineer starts.

What stays with you: the final interviews and the decision to engage. Flexiple screens and shortlists; it does not hire on your behalf.

The comparison ends here; this is our own data. Most articles comparing DevTeam.Space quote prices that go stale. These numbers come from Flexiple's talent graph: real pool sizes and median salaries for remote engineers in India, refreshed with every site update.
