AI hiring platform Hire engineers. Watch their interviews first

On subscription, the monthly rate is $6,400 to $9,600 per engineer, and it is the all-in cost: payroll, contracts, compliance and PTO are handled by Wild.Codes under one B2B contract, with nothing added on top. The rate appears on the match card before you decide. Subscription has no placement fee and a 160-hour monthly minimum. A permanent hire carries a one-time fee from 12% of the engineer's annual salary, paid on the engineer's start date. There is no cost until you hire. The pricing page has a calculator that compares your first-year cost with a recruitment agency.

On the subscription line, the full search returns a shortlist of 2-3 candidates within 47 hours after you confirm the role. For a permanent hire, the first vetted candidates arrive within 5 workdays. Neither figure is a start date: the start date depends on the engineer's availability and on your own interview.

Wild.Codes is for CTOs, VPs and heads of engineering, and for founders with a technical owner, who have a specific engineering role to fill and a budget for it. It serves startups and SMEs. Heads of people and in-house recruiters running a permanent search can use it for a permanent hire. It is a poor fit if the engineering work is not defined yet.

Wild.Codes has a pool of 15,000+ engineers in Eastern Europe and LATAM, including QA, DevOps and data engineers. The first matches you see come from the ready pool, the engineers available today. The full search then reaches beyond the ready pool into our wider network to find more engineers for your role.

On subscription, in the full search, our headhunter agent takes your brief beyond the ready pool and drafts the outreach to find more engineers. Each shortlisted engineer gets a written technical assessment with a score, and CVs become structured profiles. For your role, engineers take a timed video interview: AI writes the questions, and after about a minute to think the camera starts. AI reviews the recorded interviews, which lets us interview many engineers at once, and a human expert checks the strongest. A talent manager makes the final selection, so you see the 2-3 strongest matches for your role and watch their interviews before your own. For a permanent hire, the engine also runs the open-market search and drafts the replies to engineers, which a talent manager reviews. That shortlist carries recorded interviews too.

A recruiting agency sends CVs and charges a fee on hire, commonly 20-25% of annual salary. A freelance marketplace gives you a catalog to filter and vet yourself. A software studio sells fixed-price delivery of a project. Wild.Codes matches you with individual engineers who work under your management. On subscription, you can watch recorded technical interviews and see a monthly rate before you spend interview time. A permanent hire through Wild.Codes carries a one-time fee from 12% of the engineer's annual salary, paid on the engineer's start date.

Choose subscription when an engineer should work on your team under your management and you want Wild.Codes to handle payroll, contracts, compliance and PTO. Choose a permanent hire when you want an employee on your own payroll and contract, for a one-time fee from 12% of the engineer's annual salary, paid on the engineer's start date. Subscription is billed monthly per engineer.

On subscription, the engineer joins your team and works remotely under your management. Wild.Codes handles payroll, contracts, compliance and PTO under one B2B contract, so you do not run payroll or compliance for engineers abroad. After the hire, the engineer appears on the My team page in the app, and Wild.Codes stays in the engagement.

Subscription starts with a 1-week trial and includes lifetime replacement, so an engineer who does not work out is replaced. Before any hire, you review the match, choose who to meet and run your own interview, so the decision stays with you.

On the subscription line, average retention is about 1.5 years. Wild.Codes stays in the engagement after the hire, the first week is a trial, and lifetime replacement covers an engineer who does not work out. The retention figure applies to subscription only, not to permanent hires.

Engineers come from Eastern Europe and LATAM. The app filters profiles by experience, availability, start date and country, so you can narrow the search to countries whose working day overlaps with yours. The company has been in Estonia and Ukraine since 2023. Monthly rates are shown in dollars.

Describe the role at app.wild.codes/hire and see engineers from the ready pool who are free today, with a monthly rate on each, without a call. If one fits, request an interview. If none fits, confirm the role to start the full search: we check a few details first, then engineers take timed video interviews for your role. If we need more from you we write back, and a call is available if you prefer one.

Yes. The ready pool shows engineers who are free today, each with a monthly rate and a reason for the match, and some have an earlier recorded interview. If one fits, request an interview and hire them on subscription or as a permanent hire. If none fits, or you want more options, confirm the role and the full search finds engineers for it.
