Hire Elite Vetted Software Developers: TurnKey Tech Staffing Approach
Imagine a dream scenario: you are looking for a senior developer for your software development team, and the first person you interviewed is the perfect match technically and culturally. Sounds ideal, right? You don’t need to suffer through a months-long search, go through numerous CVs, or conduct dozens of interviews…
Well, finding the right person on the first try is a matter of luck, but there is a way how you can increase your chances for a short but successful recruitment process. The key is cooperating with TurnKey. As an offshore tech staffing company, we have developed a candidate screening system that allows us to find and present you top 5 candidates that meet your requirements on the highest level. This means that you need to process no more than five people for the position – or sometimes even less! These candidates are already pre-vetted by our recruitment team which does a thorough screening and picks specialists who match your requirements on the highest level.
So what does our vetting process entail? Let us explain it to you.

Step 1: Gathering the Requirements
To find you a developer of your dreams, first, we need to understand who you envision. Our recruiters, together with a technical coordinator and a technical interviewer, jump on a call with you to find out the requirements for desired specialists: what kind of experience the person should have, years of experience, programming languages, what programming languages and tools they need to know and what their soft skills should be.
This information allows us to do the precise search. The more details you can share with us – the bigger chance is that we will find candidates you want to see as a part of your team.
Step 2: Talent Sourcing
We launch a custom search for your candidate. We don’t keep a bench like other staffing companies, as we consider this practice ineffective and misleading for both – the hiring company and software engineers. Therefore, our recruitment team uses an established strategy to source the appropriate candidates from the top 3% of the Eastern European and Latin American tech workforce.
Step 3: TurnKey’s HR Screening
Before presenting anyone to you, we need to ensure that a candidate is the right fit for you. We start with a comprehensive HR interview to understand candidates:
- communication skills;
- approach to handling conflict situations;
- ability to collaborate (are they a team player, or do they perform better as a single unit?);
- independence in doing their work;
- motivation and career goals;
- previous experience and scope handled;
- English proficiency;
- cultural fit.
Our recruiters can use several methods to assess the skills mentioned. Behavioral interview questions are effective for understanding a candidate’s past experiences and how they handle various situations, such as teamwork, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. Situational questions can present hypothetical scenarios to gauge a candidate’s adaptability and decision-making skills. To evaluate communication skills and cultural fit, recruiters usually observe how candidates express themselves and interact. Also, reference checks can provide insights into a candidate’s work ethic, leadership potential, and overall performance from previous employers.
Step 4: TurnKey’s Tech Screening
If the candidates successfully pass HR screening, we move them to the tech screening stage. Our tech interviews are the strongest aspect of our screening, as they are conudcted by experienced developers who understand the ins and outs of working with the required tech stack. This makes their evaluation highly precise and reliable.
Typically, our tech interview includes both theoretical and practical questions. Depending on the position’s seniority and specific requirements, tech interviews may also ask a candidate to complete a coding task.
Step 5: Candidate Presentation
When the candidate successfully passes through both screenings, we share their CV and feedback on their technical proficiency and soft skills with our clients. Usually, we present the 5 strongest candidates within 21 days. However, positions that are more difficult to recruit (full-stack, C-suite roles, architects, etc.) might take a little longer, as a limited number of such candidates are on the market.
After you select the candidate you want to consider, we hand over the reins to your side. You get the opportunity to interview and assess the candidates directly, whether you prefer to assign test tasks, do a tech interview, or do a cultural fit evaluation – or all of them.
Thanks to our thorough internal screenings, our clients usually decide to hire someone from the five candidates we presented – so that’s the point when the hiring process comes to its successful ending.
Step 6: Onboarding & Integration
Once you have selected, we handle all the necessary paperwork, contracts, and arrangements to seamlessly onboard the chosen candidates into your team.
The Unique Appeal of TurnKey’s Screening Process
Our recruitment process has been shaped by our experience and drive to deliver the most value for our clients. That’s why we do one of the most thorough screening on the market – other staffing companies usually conduct only an HR interview and immediately turn the candidate to the client. As you can guess, this practice puts more strain on you, as now your team needs to do the majority of the evaluation yourself and process numerous candidates.
With TurnKey’s candidate screening, you get a number of benefits:
- You save the time and effort of your hiring team. TurnKey does all the heavy lifting with searching and filtering out candidates who aren’t an optional match for your open position.
- You need to process 5 candidates at most. Say goodbye to dozens of interviews and assessments that overwhelm your hiring team.
- You get a sample of top candidates within 21 days. We know how to find fitting candidates quickly, so your process of hiring developers doesn’t stretch for months.
- You get crème de la crème tech specialists from powerful offshoring locations – Eastern Europe and Latin America.
- You get a trusted partner – TurnKey Tech Staffing that handles not only hiring, but retention (we know how to make hired developers stay with you for at least 3 years), as well as legal and payroll responsibilities (we offer a boutique-like EOR service, so you don’t need to worry about international payments or compliance).
