Unlike a generalist recruitment agency, OfferZen has specialised in tech hiring for over 10 years and made 8000+ hires. You only see developers who fit your role and are actively looking, not a stack of generic keyword-matched CVs. Hire directly through OfferZen Marketplace, have an expert tech recruiter work inside your team with OfferZen Embedded, or hire on contract with employer of record (EOR) support through OfferZen Contracting.
OfferZen focuses only on tech roles and shows hiring teams more than a CV. Profiles include skills, salary expectations and AI fluency, and every developer is actively job-seeking. Every company gets an Account Manager. If you need more support, OfferZen can embed a tech recruiter in your team or place developers on contract.
Most OfferZen hires happen within a month. On OfferZen Marketplace, companies typically get their first accepted interview request within 8 days and make a hire within 28 days, because every developer is actively looking.
With OfferZen Embedded, you’re matched with qualified candidates within 1 to 2 weeks. With OfferZen Contracting, a developer can start within 4 weeks.
OfferZen Marketplace has no upfront cost. You pay a 12.5% success fee of the developer’s annual salary only when you make a hire. OfferZen Embedded and OfferZen Contracting are priced differently according to your hiring needs. You can book a call to find out more from our team.
OfferZen offers full technical vetting through OfferZen Embedded and OfferZen Contracting. A senior tech leader from the OfferZen Code Council reviews a role-specific assessment, runs a live technical interview and gives you an evaluation pack with a clear recommendation. On the OfferZen Marketplace, every developer is verified as genuine and actively job-seeking, and their profile shows skills, experience and AI fluency for you to assess.
