Pricing and budgets
Budget expectations before the shortlist.
Is $1,200-$1,500 a fixed price?
No. It is a practical starting range for many roles, not a flat price for every specialist. Senior roles, technical stacks, urgent starts, and extended coverage can require a different budget.
Can we start with one specialist before building a team?
Yes. Many companies start with one dedicated specialist, validate the workflow, and then add a functional pod or multi-role remote team later.

Which languages do Ukrainian specialists speak?
Our Ukrainian specialists speak Ukrainian and Russian. We assess English against the role's actual requirements, including calls, written updates, training, and communication with managers.
