Competition for great talent is more brutal than ever. To be able to hire better and faster, you need a trusted source of pre-vetted candidates.

Lemon.io is a place like that. They have a network of engineers from Europe and Latin America, and every candidate has been already tested and interviewed by their team.

So, how is it different from hiring on your own?

• You can have an engineer start working on your project within a week instead of months

• You don’t waste your time on candidates that are not qualified

• You’ll have easy access to global talent without having to go through dozens of job boards

• And finally, it’s more affordable than hiring local talent.
