Compare Hiring Options
How Quantum Infoway compares to your other hiring options
Same senior engineer seat, three hiring models — compared across time-to-start, rate, hidden costs, replacement, and IP ownership.
| Dimension | Hire Direct (FTE) | Freelance Platform | Quantum Infoway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to start From posting the requirement to engineer working | 8 to 12 weeks (you source, interview, offer, notice period) | 2 to 4 weeks (you post, vet, interview, contract) | Up to 2 weeks |
| Speed to assign From brief to engineer named for your team | 4 to 8 weeks (you source) | 24 to 72 hours shortlist (anonymous) | Same week from existing team |
| Quality consistency How predictable the engineer’s skill level is | You set the bar | Variable, marketplace-driven | Proven in-house team, same engineers across engagements |
| Communication and English How the engineer reads, writes, and runs meetings | Local language native | Variable, no minimum standard | C1 English minimum, screened in interview |
| Security and compliance NDAs and audit readiness | Your standards apply (you implement and audit) | Platform NDA, varies by freelancer | GDPR-aligned, company NDA + engineer confidentiality agreements |
| Replacement if not a fit How quickly we swap an engineer if the match is wrong | Months (re-recruit + re-onboard) | 1 to 2 weeks (re-hire from platform) | Within 30 days (replacement guarantee) |
| Base hourly rate The headline rate you see advertised | $115 to $160 per hour | $60 to $200 per hour | $25 to $50 per hour |
| Hidden costs and add-ons What gets added on top of the headline rate | Recruiter fee (15 to 30% of first-year salary), benefits, payroll tax, equipment, office and infra | Platform fees (5 to 10%), deposits, contract initiation fees, currency conversion spreads | None. The rate above is your final, all-in cost |
| IP and source code ownership | 100% yours | Depends on platform terms | 100% yours, signed in master agreement |
| Long-term commitment | Full-time only | Project-only, churn risk | Monthly invoicing, 3-month initial engagement, scale freely after |
| Time-zone matching | Limited to local market | Global lottery | 4 to 6 hours overlap with US and EU |
Vetting Pipeline
How engineers earn a spot on our team
Every engineer goes through the same four-stage funnel. Most do not make it past stage two.
30,000+
Applications received each year
Around 15 open roles at any time, each receiving roughly 200 applications per month through LinkedIn, AngelList, employee referrals, and outbound headhunting across India. India produces 1.5 million CS graduates a year, so sourcing is not the moat. Filtering is. Most applications are auto-filtered for stack relevance, years of experience, English, and time-zone overlap before any human reviews them.
Pass project deep-dive + background verification
We ask candidates to walk through a recent production project: architecture decisions, what they would change in hindsight. We also run a background verification check through a third-party BGV agency to confirm prior employment, education, and identity.
Complete 2-week shadow onboarding
A senior Quantum Infoway engineer shadows new hires for two weeks on an internal project. We watch how they respond to feedback, ask for help, and ship code. Fast learners stay.
Join the active team
A dedicated team of engineers makes up the active Quantum Infoway bench across stacks at any given time. New roles open as engagements complete or grow.
30 roles. One roster.

Time Zones
Real time-zone overlap with major markets
Our office runs 9:00 am to 8:00 pm IST, and engineers flex within it to cover your shift. We hold at least 4 hours of real-time overlap with every client.
Engineers flex their hours to match your shift. Overlap with the US and UK/Europe lands on an Indian evening shift; the Gulf and Asia-Pacific on a daytime shift. In AI-native development, shared context is the bottleneck — so we protect real-time overlap on every engagement.

FAQ
Common questions about hiring
How fast can a Quantum Infoway engineer start working with our team?
Up to 2 weeks from signed agreement. Engineers from our existing team can typically be assigned the same week. For niche stacks or seniorities where we do not have an immediate match, we may need 2 to 4 weeks to onboard a new hire who passes our four-stage vetting funnel.
What does "pre-vetted" actually mean at Quantum Infoway?
Every Quantum Infoway engineer is a full-time employee who passed our multi-stage hiring funnel: an initial filter for stack, experience, and English; a recruiter screen for communication and motivation; a 90-minute live coding plus system-design interview; and a third-party background verification covering employment, education, and identity. Less than 1% of applicants make it onto the team. You are not getting an anonymous marketplace freelancer. You are getting our employee.
How is the engineer integrated into our team?
We follow your team's existing process. Your standups, your code review workflow, your project tools (Jira, Linear, GitHub). The engineer reports to your tech lead day-to-day and is supported by a Quantum Infoway engagement manager who handles HR, performance reviews, and contract issues in the background.
What happens if the engineer is not the right fit?
We offer a 30-day replacement guarantee. If the engineer is not the right fit for skills, communication, or culture, we replace them at no additional cost. Beyond 30 days, we still work with you on replacements through the engagement manager, scoped case-by-case.
Is there a minimum engagement length?
Yes. We require a 3-month initial engagement so the engineer has time to onboard into your codebase, ship meaningful work, and prove fit. After 3 months, billing continues monthly and you can scale the team up or down freely.
How does pricing compare to hiring direct or using a freelance platform?
Quantum Infoway rates run $25 to $50 per hour, all-in, depending on seniority and stack. By comparison, a US senior engineer costs $115 to $160 per hour fully loaded, and freelance platforms typically charge $60 to $200 per hour plus platform fees. The Quantum Infoway rate is your final rate.
Can we hire multiple developers across different stacks?
Yes. Most Quantum Infoway engagements involve 2 to 8 engineers across complementary stacks. We co-design the team composition with you based on the project, then assign engineers from our existing team.
What time zones do your engineers work in?
All engineers are based in India (IST · UTC+5:30). Our office runs 9:00 am to 8:00 pm IST, and engineers flex their hours to cover your shift. We aim for at least 4 hours of real-time overlap with every client.
How do you protect our IP and source code?
Every engagement assigns 100% IP and source-code ownership to the customer on signing of the master agreement. Code is developed in customer-owned repositories where possible. Every engineer has signed a confidentiality agreement with Quantum Infoway.
What security and compliance practices does Quantum Infoway follow?
Quantum Infoway follows GDPR-aligned practices and ISMS-style policies covering access control, data classification, and incident response. Every engineer has signed a confidentiality agreement with Quantum Infoway, and we provide audit-ready documentation for enterprise procurement teams.
Do you offer a free trial of an engineer?
No. We do not offer a free trial period. Instead we offer a 30-day replacement guarantee: if the engineer is not the right fit in the first 30 days, we replace them at no additional cost.
How are you different from other staff-augmentation vendors?
Three differences buyers tell us matter most: (1) Transparent hourly pricing published on this page. (2) Engineers are full-time Quantum Infoway employees, not a marketplace bench. (3) The Quantum Infoway rate is all-in — no platform fees, deposits, or recruiter fees.
