“During a period of rapid growth, [Ramp Remote] gave us access to talent we couldn’t find on our own.

Find the right person for the work.

What good looks like

Agree how work is scoped and reviewed. Useful measures include pull requests that pass your review, tests added with each change and tickets closed to your sprint plan.

Define who reviews code, who approves a release and what the developer should escalate. Code review and releases stay with your team lead; the developer proposes changes and does not release to production alone.

Assess the right fit

Our catalogue candidates are reviewed and interviewed by our team.

Discuss experience with your stack, such as React, Node, TypeScript and your database. Ask the candidate to explain how they structure an API, handle a failing migration and respond to review comments.

Agree a short technical exercise with our team, using a sample repository or sample data, and ask for a walkthrough of past work. Give least-privilege access to repositories and environments, and make sure production changes follow your review process.

More capacity for your business. More time for the work that needs you. Tell us who you need and we’ll help you find the right fit.

Let’s find your person

Start with a conversation. Agree the full quote and terms before you hire.

From your brief to their first day.

Meet the person. Understand the cost. Start with a plan you’ve agreed together.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Share the work, experience and hours you need. You can start with a role enquiry or discuss someone you have seen in the catalogue.

  2. Meet your shortlist

    Review suitable people, discuss relevant experience and interview the candidates you want to consider. Agree any role-specific assessment with us.

  3. Agree the hire and get started

    Review the full quote, service terms and working arrangements before committing. Then plan access, handover and onboarding together.

How do I fill my Full-Stack Developer role in the Philippines?

Start with a brief for your Full-Stack Developer role: the responsibilities they will own, the systems they will use and the working hours you need to overlap with your team in New Zealand or Australia. Meet candidates against that brief and agree the total monthly cost before choosing a start date.

With Ramp Remote, we employ and support your person in the Philippines. You provide the business context, set priorities and review their work. Start with one clear responsibility and a named manager, then expand the role as the handover takes hold.

The starting price is a guide for a full-time hire in the Philippines. Your quote confirms the total for your chosen person, agreed hours and service arrangements.

  • Experience and scope: specialist skills, seniority and the responsibilities you need affect the price.
  • Hours and coverage: agree the working week, time-zone overlap and any evening or weekend needs.
  • What is included: ask for the breakdown of employment costs, our service, equipment and any one-off charges, with currency and applicable taxes stated.

We confirm these details before you commit. The starting price is not a fixed quote for every candidate.

Timing depends on the brief, candidate availability, interviews and any notice period. We will agree the next update and a target start date with you once those details are clear. If the right person is not currently available, we can recruit to your brief.

  1. Set the access: agree repository permissions, branch protection, environments and the pull request process, with no direct access to production.
  2. Handover one change: pair on a small ticket from branch to merge so the developer sees your conventions and review expectations.
  3. Review the first sprint: check the pull requests, tests and documentation with your team lead, then agree the ongoing scope of work.

You can discuss a role without committing to a hire. Before proceeding, review your written quote and agreement for payment timing, currency and taxes, notice requirements, the support included and what happens if the hire is not the right fit.

We will confirm replacement arrangements and any conditions in your agreement before you proceed.
