Questions

How does ViewSkill find developers in Ukraine?
It searches GitHub profiles whose location field names a place in Ukraine, 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?
Ukraine is on UTC+2 (UTC+3 in summer), one hour ahead of Central European 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.
