About DistantJob

View company profile

For many tech companies, finding the right talent is a significant and persistent challenge. The local market is often competitive, making it difficult to source developers and engineers with the specific skill sets required, let alone professionals who align with the company's culture and are committed to a long-term career. This scarcity can stifle growth, delay projects, and increase operational costs. Companies often feel they have to make a choice between speed, quality, and cost, rarely achieving all three. The traditional recruitment process can be slow and cumbersome, and expanding the search globally introduces complexities like international HR, payroll, and legal compliance, which can be daunting for businesses of any size.

DistantJob was founded to solve these exact problems. We believe that every tech company, regardless of its size or budget, deserves access to a global pool of focused, full-time, and qualified remote software developers. Our mission is to dismantle the geographical barriers that have traditionally given larger corporations a monopoly on top talent. We empower our clients by going out into the world to headhunt exceptional IT professionals who are already excelling in their fields and entice them with the opportunity of a full-time remote career. These aren't freelancers or contractors; they are dedicated individuals ready to integrate fully into your team, adopt your processes, and contribute to your company culture. We handle the entire recruitment lifecycle, from sourcing and rigorous vetting for both technical and soft skills, to managing all the international HR complexities, payroll, and benefits. This allows our customers to focus on what they do best: building great products and managing their teams, with the confidence that their remote hires are happy, productive, and fully supported.
