    How Innowise recruits the top 5% of PHP developers

    Our hiring process filters for real skill, proven experience, and remote-readiness, so the PHP developers you meet are already trusted, battle-tested, and ready to contribute.

    1
    CV review with a purpose

    We start with a wide pool of PHP candidates and narrow it down by real-world experience, project history, and alignment with specific frameworks and tools.

    Every shortlisted candidate speaks with our recruiters. We assess how they communicate, solve problems, and fit into remote teams, not just how they answer scripted questions.

    Our senior PHP engineers lead a technical interview that covers backend logic, framework usage, architecture thinking, and code reasoning. We also evaluate how candidates give and receive feedback.

    Each developer completes a coding assignment based on a real-world PHP scenario, nothing abstract or academic. We’re looking for clarity, maintainability, and good judgment under realistic constraints.

    We speak with past clients or employers to understand how the candidate worked in production environments, if they were reliable, communicative, and consistent.

    Candidates who make it this far meet either with our leadership or with your team directly. It’s a chance to check fit, set expectations, and align on the way forward.

    

We move forward with the top few percent who meet our bar. Those who join us are full-time team members (not freelancers) supported with ongoing training and long-term opportunities.

    Candidate CV screening

    Our recruitment team comb through 70,000+ profiles to pinpoint .NET experts with the exact mix of experience, certifications, and niche skills.

    Initial HR interview

    HR experts validate candidates for remote readiness, communication style, and career goals. We confirm they align with your culture before moving them forward.

    Technical & soft skills interview

    Our .NET specialists probe their framework know-how, C# mastery, and architectural sense and test how well they collaborate and communicate in a remote setup.

    Test task

    At this step, candidates tackle a practical .NET assignment. Just enough to show how they write clean code, manage their time, and hit a deadline in a controlled, time-boxed setting.

    Reference checks

    We reach out to past employers to verify performance, reliability, and professionalism. This step guarantees you’re getting a proven expert, not just a shiny CV.

    Top management or client interview

    Finalists meet with our leadership or your stakeholders for a last round. We confirm they grasp our vision and can add value from day one.

    Job offer to the top 5%

    Only the elite make the cut. Once hired, each developer joins our continuous training program to keep skills sharp and ready for your projects.

    FAQs

    How do I hire a PHP developer?

    To hire PHP coders, start by telling us what kind of PHP developer you need: frameworks, experience level, project goals, and team setup. We’ll send over profiles of pre-vetted candidates, and you can interview anyone you like. Once you choose, we handle the onboarding and contracts so you can get started quickly.

    The cost depends on the developer’s skill level, project complexity, and engagement model. Whether you need a mid-level PHP coder or a senior architect, we offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You’ll get a clear rate per developer along with their CV and tech background before you commit.

    Eastern Europe, particularly Poland and nearby countries, is a top destination for PHP outsourcing thanks to strong tech education, high English proficiency, and timezone overlap with both Europe and the U.S. At Innowise, we have PHP coders for hire across these regions to give you flexible access to great talent.

    You do. All code written by our developers under your project agreement is fully owned by you. There will be no gray areas. We sign NDAs and IP transfer clauses as part of every engagement, so you retain full rights to everything we build on your behalf.

    That depends on your setup. If you're hiring dedicated PHP developers to join your team, your PM or tech lead stays in charge. If you’re outsourcing the full project, we provide a delivery manager or team lead to keep everything on track and aligned with your goals.

    You’ll get full visibility: daily updates via Slack or email, weekly summaries, and access to task trackers like Jira, Trello, or whichever tool your team uses. We’re used to integrating with your workflow, not the other way around. Regular calls and check-ins are part of the setup too.
