Featured Case Study
HeyGen needed to rapidly expand their engineering capacity to support explosive growth in AI video generation. Traditional hiring pipelines could not move fast enough. Odesa placed 8 senior developers across frontend, backend, and ML engineering roles within 4 weeks, saving HeyGen over $640K annually compared to US-based equivalents.
Every engagement, documented.
Vantex AI needed senior Python and ML engineers to accelerate their AI platform development. Odesa matched 3 developers within 10 days, each with 7+ years of experience in the exact stack required.
Korvato was paying traditional recruiters 20% of salary for each engineering hire. After switching to Odesa’s flat-fee model, they hired 4 senior developers and saved over $104K in recruitment fees alone.
Cuppa AI needed a full-stack team to build and ship their AI content platform MVP. Odesa provided 2 senior developers who integrated seamlessly with the founding team and shipped the MVP ahead of schedule.
As a Series A startup, One Pet needed to move fast on iOS and Android development without burning through runway on $180K US mobile engineers. Odesa provided 2 senior mobile developers at a fraction of the cost.
JumpSeed was migrating their legacy monolith to microservices and needed experienced backend engineers for a 6-month sprint. Odesa placed 3 senior Node.js developers who led the migration to completion on schedule.

Common questions about Odesa client results.
Every metric on this page comes from documented client engagements. Here are answers to the most common questions prospects ask about our results.
What results do Odesa clients typically see?
On average, Odesa clients save 40-60% compared to hiring US-based engineers. Staff augmentation clients see immediate cost reduction from day one at $45-75/hr rates. Recruitment clients save $20-30K+ per hire compared to traditional agencies. Placement happens in 4.2 days on average, and 94% of placed developers are still actively engaged after 12 months.
What types of companies does Odesa work with?
Odesa primarily serves growth-stage companies in the $5M to $500M revenue range with 11 to 100+ employees. Our clients span AI/ML platforms, SaaS, fintech, healthtech, pet tech, AgTech, and eCommerce. The common thread is companies that have found product-market fit and need to scale engineering capacity without the cost and timeline of traditional US hiring.
Can I speak with a current Odesa client as a reference?
Yes. We are happy to connect you with current clients as references during the discovery process. Contact Val directly to arrange a reference call with a client in your industry or with a similar use case. Our clients are our best advocates and many are willing to share their experience.
How are cost savings calculated?
Cost savings are calculated by comparing Odesa’s total engagement cost against the equivalent cost of hiring the same role in the US, including base salary plus an estimated 30% benefits and overhead (health insurance, payroll taxes, equipment, office space). For staff augmentation, the comparison is Odesa’s hourly rate versus annualized US total compensation. For recruitment, it is Odesa’s $3,999 flat fee versus the industry-standard 15-25% of first-year salary. See our pricing page for detailed rate comparisons.
What happens if a placement does not work out?
Staff augmentation engagements include a 2-week risk-free trial. If the developer is not the right fit, you pay nothing and we match a replacement immediately. Recruitment placements include a 90-day performance guarantee with a free replacement if the hire does not meet expectations. Our 94% retention rate means this rarely happens, but the guarantee ensures you are never stuck with a bad match. Learn more about our trial terms and guarantee policy.
