How It Works

Step 1. Tailored Matching & Rigorous Vetting
  • The matching process starts after a call discussing your requirements with a UK based expert
  • Our thorough vetting process ensures quality and excellence:
    • Technical & Logical Expertise Candidates are evaluated through multiple interviews, rigorous assessments, and live coding challenges.
    • Communication Skills: We assess proficiency in verbal and written communication across several interviews and exams.
    • Background Screening: Rigorous checks to confirm credentials, ensuring every candidate meets our high standards.
Step 2. Meet The Candidates
  • Select candidates from your personalized shortlist to interview. Evaluate their technical skills and alignment with your team’s goals and culture.
  • We keep it simple:
    • You’re in charge of choosing the perfect candidate for your team.
    • No costs are incurred until your chosen developer joins your team.
Step 3. Onboarding
  • We manage every aspect of the onboarding process, allowing you to focus on what matters.
    • HR & Payroll: We handle it all, with a simple, monthly invoice.
    • Productivity Tools: software designed to enhance efficiency and track progress.
    • Transparent Pricing: With rates starting at ~£20/hour, our full managed service delivers up to 50% annual cost savings compared to hiring locally.
Step 4. Ongoing Support for Long-term Success
  • Our commitment extends well beyond hiring. We’re here to ensure sustained success for you and your developers:
    • Continuous Support: Dedicated regional Account Managers and a proactive Customer Success Team provide regular check-ins and assistance.
    • Feedback & Management: Weekly feedback calls keep progress on track.
    • Flexible Terms: Our transparent contracts adapt as your needs evolve:
      • Month 1: 7-day notice
      • Month 2: 14-day notice
      • Month 3+: 30-day notice, transitioning to 60 days after the third month.

We have worked with Smart Working for 2 years and have been very pleased with the quality and skills of their developers. Their UK team has continued to deliver excellent ongoing support to us. We now have 6 people working for us on a long-term basis.

Mark Cadby

CTO

Smart Working have always delivered strong shortlists of vetted candidates in very tight timescales. We have now built a team of 10 with them and the turnover of our developers has been extremely low. We’d strongly recommend using them.

Cameron Wade

Managing Director

The developer Smart Working provided to us works the same hours, joins all our meetings and is permanently contactable. The support of their UK team in the background has removed the risk of remote hiring. As we grow we’ll continue to use them.

Peter White

Director

Smart Working has provided us with an excellent Senior Dev. The recruitment process was quick and effective. Our developer brings fantastic new knowledge and experience into the team. We see him as a very long-term asset to our business.

Jeremy Burgess

Director

Would highly recommend Smart Working. We had a new developer starting with us just a few weeks after making first contact. Their UK team has checked in with us regularly since, helping to get the best out of our new employee.

Oliver Rebbeck

Creative Director

We've had a fantastic experience with Smart Working in hiring a full-stack developer. The entire recruitment process was effortless and quick. Our developer seamlessly works UK hours, and the competitive rates are an added bonus. I highly recommend them.

Tom O’Harrow

Tech Product Manager

Smart Working has a really thorough process and their initial screening of candidates saved us a lot of time. They found several candidates that met our requirements and the dev that we hired has fitted in really well and is proving to be a real asset.

Dave Ackrill,

Head of Operations

Smart Working’s process was seamless. Our goal was to find someone who would fit perfectly into our team, to deliver high value, and that’s what we got. The feedback calls with their UK team since have been useful. A highly recommended service.

Paul Simms

Tech Director

Smart Working found us an excellent developer very quickly who has been one of our best developers since she began. We see her as a core member of the team and can see her being with us for the long term. It has worked really well.

Adam Burrage

Managing Director

Working with Smart Working has been great for us. Their level of expertise during the recruitment stage was impressive. We took on a great Senior Developer and have formed a very successful working relationship with them.

Richard May

Managing Director

Hiring with Smart Working has worked very well. We hired a very impressive Senior Software Engineer who has been part of our team for 2 years now. He is able to work independently, solve difficult problems and shows great initiative.

Tom Hirst

Senior Software Engineer

The Smart Working approach worked very well for us. As soon as we got to the interview stage we saw incredible value in the candidates. Our chosen developer joined us immediately and has been a great addition to our team.
