Hire developers in India: what to know

India's developer pool is huge, and so is the volume of near-identical CVs. Agencies and outsourcing firms offer teams quickly, but you rarely get to see an individual developer's own work before signing.

ViewSkill searches GitHub profiles in India, reads each developer's repositories, and ranks them by verified skill and recent activity. You see the evidence for every candidate and contact them directly.

Questions

How does ViewSkill find developers in India?
It searches GitHub profiles whose location field names a place in India, 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?
India is on UTC+5:30 (IST) with no daylight saving: 3.5 to 4.5 hours ahead of Central Europe and 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern time. 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.
