30-Day Trial to Find Your Perfect Remote Hire

Ready to hire remote talent without worries? We understand the commitment involved in hiring new talent. That's why we offer a 30-day trial to give you a chance to experience our experts.

Summary

Hiring the right remote talent is hard, especially when you're under pressure to scale quickly.

That’s why FatCat Coders offers a 30-day trial as part of our full-time Managed Hire model.

This unique approach gives you a low-risk way to hire and evaluate performance before making a long-term commitment. Here's how our trial period before hiring works and why it makes hiring smarter.

What Is the 30-Day Trial?

Think of the 30-day trial as a test drive for your next team member. For one full month, the candidate works directly with your team, full-time, just like a regular employee. During this new hire trial period, you can see how they perform on real projects, how they collaborate with your team, and how well they adapt to your company culture.

  • Trial duration: 30 calendar days or up to 160 working hours for full-time Managed Hires.

  • Work on real tasks: Evaluate their performance in real-world projects.

  • No upfront fees: Pay only if you continue after the trial.

  • Simple cancellation: Not a fit? Cancel anytime before the trial ends.

How to Start a New Hire Trial Period?

1. Tell us what you need

Share your requirements—we’ll match you with a pre-vetted candidate who fits your role, stack, and culture.

2. Meet your match

We’ll match you with a pre-vetted candidate, ready to start within days.

3. Kick off the trial

Start working with the developer right away. You’ll have up to 30 days to evaluate their skills, communication, and reliability.

4. Decide with confidence

At the end of the trial, continue with the developer or walk away—no hard feelings, no costs if you cancel within the trial period. 

What Happens After the Trial?

If the candidate meets your expectations, they will continue working with you full-time. If not, we’ll work quickly to find a replacement that better fits your needs, at no additional cost. Our goal is to make hiring low-risk and high-reward, and the 30-day trial is the foundation of that promise.

To ensure fairness and transparency, cancellations during the 30-day trial must meet these criteria:

  • Provide clear reasons for cancellation: These may include unmet goals, technical gaps, or communication issues.

  • Send a written warning email to FatCat Coders at least 5 business days in advance, clearly stating the issues.

This helps both parties stay accountable and gives us a chance to assist or replace the candidate if needed.

Benefits of Our Trial Program

Peace of mind Start your project with confidence, knowing you’re not locked into a long-term commitment. With our 30-day trial, you have the freedom to explore if we’re the right fit for your needs.

Flexibility If things don’t go as expected, you’re not stuck. Whether you need to cancel the engagement or find a new talent, we give you the flexibility to make changes without extra charges. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Clarity No hidden fees, no fine print. Our clear terms help you understand the process fully from the start to the end of your trial, so you can make informed decisions every step of the way.

Reduced risk Feel assured that if things don’t work out, you can walk away without financial consequences. We want you to be confident that choosing us is the right decision for your project.

Enhanced support You’re never alone during your trial period. Our team is readily available to help, answer questions, and ensure a seamless and positive experience. We’ll work together to ensure your expectations are met.

Transparency We believe in clear communication from day one. Our terms are transparent, and we make sure you know exactly what to expect. There are no surprises; there is straightforward support and a dedicated team ready to meet your needs.

Why Use a Trial Period Before Hiring?

A resume can only tell you so much. Interviews? Still not enough. The truth is, you can’t really know if someone’s the right fit until you’ve worked with them. That’s where the 30-day trial shines.

Here’s what you get from our new hire trial period:

  • A real-world view of the candidate’s skills

  • A chance to evaluate performance under real conditions

  • Insights into how they communicate, collaborate, and problem-solve

  • Flexibility to continue, replace, or end the engagement—no long-term risk

By the end of the 30 days, you’ll know if they’re someone you want to invest in long term.

How Does Fatcat Coders’ Trial Compare to Competitors?

Unlike other hiring platforms or marketplaces, FatCatCoders is built for quality and trust:

Transparent terms and no hidden fees

There are no hidden fees or fine print, ensuring you’re fully aware of what to expect throughout the trial. Some competitors may charge extra for replacements or early termination, adding unnecessary complexity.

Talent Matching Expertise

FatCat Coders assigns a dedicated candidate tailored to your specific project needs, ensuring alignment with your requirements and business goals. Competitors may offer generic matches that don’t always fit your expectations.

Comprehensive evaluation metrics

Our trial emphasizes technical performance, communication, and problem-solving in real-world scenarios. Many alternative solutions focus only on limited tests or predefined tasks, leaving gaps in assessing a talent’s true capabilities.

Transparent reporting and updates

FatCat Coders provides detailed work reports with time tracking and regular updates to ensure full visibility into progress. Competitors may offer less robust reporting, leaving you concerned about performance and deliverables.

Seamless communication process

You’ll experience a streamlined communication process that fosters effortless collaboration. Some alternatives lack efficient communication systems, leading to delays and misalignment.

Support during and beyond the trial

FatCat Coders provides enhanced support throughout the trial period to address any challenges promptly. With many competitors, post-trial support is minimal, and unresolved issues during the trial can carry over into the engagement.
