How do you vet Java developers?

Stack-specific take-home assessment plus technical interview with a senior engineer who ships Java in production. We assess the specific tools and patterns stated in your role brief.

Can developers work in my timezone?

Yes. Developers from Lahore, Islamabad, and Makati. Pakistan overlaps AEST by 5-7 hours. Philippines overlaps more closely. Overlap hours built into the role from day one.

You do. Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) s.196(3) assignment in every client agreement. IP vests in your entity.

How do you handle security?

Developers work from managed HN offices, not home networks. Confidentiality agreements signed. Role-based repo access and code review gates recommended.

How long does placement take?

Two to four weeks: role definition, take-home assessment, your interviews, and Human Nexus onboarding.
