What the difference feels like:

I feel like the talent that we've got in the team here actually outshines our CTO and our tech lead over in the UK because they're so good. So when we assign a task, it's done before we can go back and write another task.

We spent four months trying to hire in the US. We engaged Cloud Employee and had two full-time developers onboarded in one week. The guys have been working with us for two years and we're now up to a team of six.

Working with Michael is great (our CE developer) - he's dedicated, very skilled, embedded right into our team, and really fits into our working culture. We just wish he lived closer so we could have him in office from time to time!

Seb and the team take great care of their staff, and you can see their focus on quality in the candidates they present. A reliable resourcing partner who genuinely understand the nuances of good staff augmentation.

We actually hired the whole team remotely, having never met them. And we made a bunch of really good hires. And that's pretty unique to be able to do that without having never met any of them.

What I love about Cloud Employee is that you've taken all of that hard work off my shoulders. When I was presented with a shortlist of candidates, I knew they were all technically proficient. I knew that they would fit in as part of the team.

FAQs

Got questions? Check out our Frequently Asked Questions page for answers to common inquiries about our services, hiring process, and more

How do you manage time zone differences?

We align our working hours with your time zone, and ensure overlap for real-time collaboration. We also have team members available for critical support outside standard hours.

How is Cloud Employee different from a recruitment company?

Entirely different:
- We don’t take any placement fees
- You don’t pay to interview candidates, only if you hire them
- We have technically developed vetting process which is led by our inhouse CTO
- This also includes peer reviews with our senior engineers, avoiding any mishires
- We don’t stop after recruitment - we work with you month on month as a partner and you have a dedicated, UK-Based account manager and CTO
- We don’t charge a re-hire fee if for any reason your developer doesn’t work out
- We are invested in working with you over a long period of time - and act accordingly as a partner 

Is there a minimum number of employees I need to hire?

No - you can hire just one employee and receive the same excellent level of service.

What if a developer doesn't perform as expected?

You feed this back to your dedicated UK-Based Account Manager who will then work with you to find solutions. We have a robust HR team physically on-the-ground in our Philippines and Latin America offices, who work with our learning and development. Sometimes peer training with our other developers, or a conversation with our CTO quickly improves any issues.

If not, we find you a new hire, free of charge. 

Do I communicate directly with the developer working with me?

Yes absolutely. Developers plug directly into your day-to-day communication channels - company email, Slack channels, Discord, etc. Your developer is fully integrated into your team, even down to updating their LinkedIn with your company as their employer if you would prefer.

In fact, if you hire more than 4 developers, we will also contribute £2,000 toward a trip for your developer to visit you, or for you to visit our beautiful offices in Manilla and/or Latin America to meet and work with your developers at our offices in person once per year.

How quickly can you scale my team if needed?

We recently scaled a full technical team of 28 developers and technical experts for a UK-Based company in one month. If you provide us all of the information we need, we can move very quickly.

What level of project management support do you provide?

We implement strict security protocols, including secure communication channels, data encryption, and non-disclosure agreements. We also comply with industry-specific regulations and can provide relevant certifications upon request.We can hire project managers specifically for your project for you. We also advise you on the level of seniority and team mix required for your project and wider company needs - ensuring you have the right people to self-manage.

What does your discovery call process entail?

Expect to talk through your needs and for us to offer you support and advice. From there, if we’re a good fit, we set you up with a CTO and UK-Based Account Manager call to provide feedback and/or develop job descriptions alongside you. 

How is Cloud Employee different from a freelancer platform?

Entirely. Forget one-off jobs, security risks and project to project work. Read more here.

Can I visit your offices and meet my Cloud Employee/s?

We encourage clients to visit our offices to meet and spend time working with their Cloud Employee team. We’ve made sure that our offices are well-equipped and always welcoming to our clients. 

In fact, if you hire 4 or more Cloud Employees, we will cover your flights and accommodation to visit our offices and work with your team (and escape UK winter!). This is up to £2,000 of value.
