The best engineers are not in the pool you're searching


Every offshore vendor works from the same place: people who are actively looking for a job. That pool is public, and it is picked over. The engineers you actually want are employed, shipping, and not answering job posts. We headhunt them. Our sourcers sit in Manila and Bangalore, work their own networks, and approach engineers who are not on the market. Our AI interviewing platform then runs a rigorous, structured interview against your job description, scoring character, acumen, grit, and experience across several rounds. You get a short list and run one final conversation.

Interview load carried by Exordiom

We carry the interview load

Sourcing, screening, and technical vetting sit with us. You run the last-mile fit interview and keep the final say on who joins.

Candidates pre-closed on compensation

Candidates are pre-closed

By the time you meet someone, compensation and start date are settled. Say yes and they start, usually within 48 hours.

Full-time embedded hires

They stay yours

These are full-time embedded hires, not project contractors. They learn your codebase and stay in it.

Top of market pay

We pay at the top of the market

We recruit senior engineers, commonly five or more years in, by paying above the local going rate. We do not compete on being cheapest.

Engineering roles we fill

Build

Full-stack developers. Backend and platform engineers. Frontend engineers. Mobile developers across iOS, Android, and React Native. QA automation engineers. DevOps and infrastructure engineers.

AI and data

AI engineers building agents and automation. Machine learning engineers. Data engineers. RL environment engineers. Red teamers and evaluation specialists. Data annotation and evaluation.

India runs deepest for engineering, data, and AI. The Philippines runs deepest for customer-facing and operational roles. We recruit in both and steer each role to the stronger market. We also staff Salesforce and HubSpot developers, GTM engineers, technical support engineers, and billing and systems administrators on the same model.

What engineering leaders say

Mark Dorsi, CISO at Netlify

We looked at our available partners out there, Exordiom being one of them. We asked them how fast can we hire, and what would be our time to market. I wanted talent that's really, really good and really, really fast, and Exordiom did an amazing job at sourcing talent, which led to a fantastic outcome for us thus far. Now I have Exordiom talent across Technical Customer Support, Full stack development, IT, Security, and GTM.

Mark Dorsi,
CISO, Netlify
Jonathan Ross, CRO at Firstbase

Partnering with Exordiom for our offshore resources was a game-changer for scale. We brought on global talent who were able to seamlessly integrate with our US-based team and partner directly with our in-house employees, all while being a third of the cost of hiring the same role domestically.

CRO at Firstbase (now an AppDirect company)
Adam Brochetti, Founder and CEO at Spartan Endeavors

Within 24 hours, I received 3 pre-vetted candidates with detailed resumes and voice intros. The entire process from first contact to having someone start took just a week, compared to months with other companies.

Recruiting and placement are inside the monthly rate. There is no separate finder's fee.

No minimum term

No lock-in. Scale up or down on demand and pay only while a seat is active.

Replacement included

If a hire doesn't work out we backfill the role without restarting the engagement.

60 to 70 percent lower

Hiring guide

How to hire offshore developers? Skills to look for, interview questions, and more


Most offshore engineering hires fail for reasons that have nothing to do with the engineer. The role was scoped badly, the vetting was shallow, or the person was treated as a vendor instead of a teammate. Our guide covers the seven skills worth testing for, how to structure a funnel that filters before it reaches your engineers, six interview questions that actually separate candidates, and the three failure modes to design against.

FAQ

Have a question? We're here to help.

How fast can I hire an offshore developer?

As little as 10 days from job spec to a working engineer. We source and vet, endorse a short list, and schedule your interview within 24 hours of endorsement. Most selected candidates start within 48 hours to a week.

How much does an offshore developer cost?

Starting at $3,000 per month, per person, all-in, scaling up based on pedigree and experience. That includes recruiting, salary, benefits, payroll, and compliance. There is no separate placement fee and no minimum term.

Do they work in my time zone?

Yes. Every hire works your hours, full-time at 40 hours a week, whether your team runs Pacific, Central, or Eastern.

Who legally employs them?

We employ them through our in-country entities in the Philippines and India, which handle payroll, statutory benefits, and local tax compliance. You direct the work. You do not hold the employment liability and you do not need a foreign entity.

Who owns the code they write?

You do. Our agreements assign work product and intellectual property to your company, and every hire is bound by confidentiality terms.

What if a hire doesn't work out?

We backfill the role without restarting the engagement. Combined with no lock-in and pay-only-while-active, the risk of a bad hire sits with us.

Can I hire senior engineers, or only juniors?

Senior. We pay at the top of the offshore market specifically to reach engineers with five or more years of experience, including leads and architects. We are not competing on being the cheapest.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. No minimum term and no lock-in. Scale up or down on demand and pay only while a seat is active.

Philippines or India?

India for engineering, data, and AI depth. The Philippines for customer-facing and operational roles. Strong engineers exist in both and we will tell you honestly which market fits the role.

Can I move a hire onto my own payroll later?

Yes. There is a defined conversion path with a one-time placement fee, agreed up front rather than sprung on you later.
