Frequently asked questions
Know what to expect.
Practical answers before you start.
Which engagement should I choose?
Staff augmentation adds engineering capacity while Odesa manages the engagement. Recruitment helps you employ an engineer directly. Custom development is for a defined project with agreed scope and milestones. Human QA checks your website or app for bugs, broken flows, and confusing experiences.
How does the 2-week trial work?
For staff augmentation, if the engineer does not meet agreed expectations, you pay nothing for the trial and we provide a replacement. Expectations and written trial terms are agreed before work starts. Recruitment has a separate 90-day replacement guarantee.
How soon can we meet engineers?
We confirm a shortlist timeline after understanding your requirements. Availability, the role, and your interview schedule determine when an engineer can start.
What do your rates include?
Staff augmentation starts at $45/hour and includes salary, benefits, equipment, and ongoing engagement support. Final rates depend on the role and seniority. Recruitment costs $7,999 per hire; salary and employment costs are additional. Custom development is scoped separately. Human QA starts at $1,500 for a fixed testing scope and one focused retest.
Can we interview and manage the engineer ourselves?
Yes. You interview candidates and choose the person. With staff augmentation, your engineer joins your tools and routines, and your team directs the day-to-day work.
Where are the engineers based?
Odesa works with senior engineers across Latin America, the EU and Eastern Europe. We agree the working schedule and overlap during matching.
