Where are the technology experts based?

Most of our technology experts are primarily based in Eastern Europe, but we are expanding globally. However, our clients are based globally and the technology experts provide overlap as needed.

Are the technology experts full-time employees?

The technology experts are independent contractors working on your team, either part-time (20 hours per week) or full-time (40 hours per week). The payment is handled through Remgu so you pay us and we pay the expert. The engagement can be terminated at any time with one month's notice.

What are the rates for the experts?

The experts set their own rates and we add a small margin on top. The all-in rate is typically between $50 to $80 USD per hour with outliers on both ends. There are no other hidden fees.

Screening & Vetting

What does the process look like?

We vet the experts on their communication, personality, and technical ability. Many of our experts are referred by trusted sources.

Can I do my own screening?

Yes, we set up one or more interviews on your behalf so that you feel comfortable entering into an engagement with the experts.

Engagement

What type of engagements?

The engagements are either part-time (20 hours per week) or full-time (40 hours per week). The payment is handled through Remgu so you pay us and we pay the expert. The engagement can be terminated at any time with one month's notice.

What’s the minimum amount of time?

We strive to have long-term engagements. This is why we offer very competitive rates for high-quality experts. Our experts prefer working on long-term projects where they become part of a team. The minimum amount of time that we aim for is 6+ months but there is no contractual obligation on the duration of the engagement.

Is there a trial period?

There is a one-month paid trial period. After that, you can end the engagement at any point with one month’s notice.

Can I hire them permanently?

The experts on our platform are our main asset. However, we understand that sometimes both parties would prefer to engage directly. This is possible with a buyout fee that compensates Remgu for taking a vetted expert from the network.

What is the time overlap provided?

The experts try to provide a few hours of daily overlap. This way, they can focus on productivity when the expert is offline and participate in team meetings during client hours. More overlap can be provided as needed when agreed with the experts.

Do I have to provide equipment to the experts?

The experts have their own equipment to be productive, but the client can send theirs if they prefer. The client is responsible for procuring the tools they expect the experts to use.

Intellectual Property

Who owns the work?

The work performed by the experts is owned by the client.

What about IP and Confidentiality?

Remgu has confidentiality agreements with all of its experts. Clients can sign separate NDAs directly with our engineers if needed.

Payments

What type of payments do you accept?

We accept wire transfers and ACH payments.

How often do you invoice?

We invoice clients twice a month. The invoices include Net 10 terms giving clients enough time to review the invoice before processing for payment.
