Two platforms that both lean on automated vetting. The question worth asking is whether you get to read the assessment, and who employs the person at the end of it.
Automated vetting feeds a matching engine, and you are billed a monthly or hourly rate per developer with the platform margin inside it. Engagements are generally structured as contract placements.
Free search, a published score on every profile, and credits spent only on the profiles you want to reveal. Then hire directly, or put them on our payroll for a flat monthly fee.
Green means the row favours us, grey means it favours them or the two are level. Both appear below.

Three blended rates, each carrying platform margin every month.
Three credits to unlock, then salary plus a flat fee per developer if you use our payroll.
Our fee is the same whether the engineer earns 40,000 or 140,000, which is the whole point of a flat fee.
Smart Match ranks the network against your role on paid plans, and you can always ask us to source directly. But search is free and open, so most clients shortlist themselves in an afternoon.
You see the scores free. Unlocking a profile reveals identity, contact details and the full report, and downloading the report itself costs nothing.
Everything described about other companies comes from their own public pricing and product pages, and reflects what they published at the time of writing. Rates vary by role, seniority and region. Check their current terms before you decide, and tell us if anything here has gone out of date.
Searching is free and needs no account. Look at real scores on real engineers, then judge for yourself.
