An hourly developer
For when there are only a few hours of work a week or a month: small improvements, fixes, consultations — without hiring and without a monthly contract.
The problem
Nobody hires an employee for a couple of hours of work a week, and freelancers from marketplaces disappear after the first task. You need a permanent person, but paid only for the real hours.
Who it is for
- There are few tasks, but they keep coming
- Something needs fixing or improving and you have no developer of your own
- You want to try first on a small task
What you get
- A developer you can turn to regularly
- Payment for the hours actually worked
- You can start with one small task
How the work goes
- 01
You send the requirements — through the form or on WhatsApp
- 02
A short conversation: I clarify the task, the team and the constraints
- 03
I find and personally vet a candidate for your task
- 04
You hold the interview and make the decision
- 05
We agree on the format and terms, and the specialist starts work
What you will need
- Stack and versions: language, frameworks, database, cloud
- The task for the first 2–4 weeks
- Workload: full time, part time or hourly
- Desired start date and expected duration
- Team communication language and time zone
Limits — honestly
- I give the start date and the availability of a specialist after the conversation — I do not promise them in advance
- The cost depends on the format and the task — I give it after the conversation
- The decision about the candidate is always yours
Example
A shop has a website and a small admin panel. Once a week something needs fixing: a field in a form, a report, an error after an update. That is 3–5 hours a month.
