Most offshore hiring goes through an agency you can't see behind. ViewSkill lets you search developers in any country by the code they published, rank them, and contact them yourself.

Hire offshore developers: what to know

Offshore hiring usually means trusting an agency's bench: you see a polished profile and an hourly rate, not the developer's own work. Quality varies widely and is hard to check before you've paid for a few weeks.

ViewSkill flips that. You pick the country or region, describe the role, and get developers ranked by the code they built themselves. Then you reach out directly, or send a graded coding test first.

Searches you can run

It depends on the country you search: Latin America overlaps most with the US, Eastern Europe with Western Europe, and South and Southeast Asia with Australia and the Gulf.

Matches profiles that say: any country, region, city.

How to de-risk an offshore hire

See the code first

Judge a developer on their own repositories, not on an agency summary.

Pick the time zone

Search by country so the overlap with your team is built into the shortlist.

Test before you commit

Send a role-specific take-home test that is graded automatically from 0 to 100.

Hire direct

No placement fee and no markup between what you pay and what the developer earns.

Questions

How does ViewSkill find developers in any country?
It searches GitHub profiles whose location field names a place in any country, then reads the code each person published to rank them by real skill. You get names, a score, verified skills and the reason behind each ranking.
Is this a staffing agency or a marketplace?
Neither. ViewSkill is a search and screening tool. You contact and hire developers directly, with no placement fee and no middleman markup on their rate.
What time zones should I expect?
It depends on the country you search: Latin America overlaps most with the US, Eastern Europe with Western Europe, and South and Southeast Asia with Australia and the Gulf. Plan at least a two to four hour overlap with your team for standups and reviews, and say the overlap you need in the search so the shortlist reflects it.
How do I check a candidate an agency already sent me?
Paste their GitHub link. In about 30 seconds you get the same report: score, verified skills, recent activity and a plain-English verdict, so you can compare agency candidates with the ones you sourced yourself.
