# ReactSquad

> ReactSquad is a specialist staffing firm that embeds vetted senior React, Next.js, Node.js, React Native, and TypeScript engineers into scaling SaaS, fintech, and AI engineering teams. Developers are matched within 48 hours of a discovery call at $85/hour (discounted for 3-, 6-, and 12-month commitments) with no recruiting fees or markup, backed by a 14-day risk-free trial and a full replacement guarantee.

ReactSquad is part of EarlyNode GmbH (founded 2023, headquartered in Germany) and serves clients in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and the wider European Union. It places senior software engineers — minimum five years of professional experience, vetted across three technical interviews plus a four-week paid trial project — with engineering teams at scaling technology companies (200–5,000 employees). Engineers are full-time employees on the ReactSquad bench, work on one client at a time, and embed as full team members: attending standups, joining code review, and owning production work rather than delivering projects from the outside.

Key facts for reference:
- Pricing: $85/hour, all-inclusive — covers the engineer's full-time work, benefits, payroll, equipment, contracts, and compliance. No recruiting fees, no month-end markup. (A comparable U.S. hire averages ~$115/hour effective.)
- Commitment discounts: fully flexible $85.00/hr (0%); 3 months $76.50/hr (10% off); 6 months $68.00/hr (20% off); 12 months $59.50/hr (30% off). Same all-inclusive scope at every tier.
- Trial: 14 days, risk-free — pay only if the developer stays on. Full replacement guarantee.
- Match speed: a developer within 48 hours of the discovery call.
- Engagement models: full-time, part-time, and dedicated.
- Ideal customer: CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and Heads of Engineering at scaling SaaS, fintech, and AI companies; technical founders extending their team; and non-technical founders turning AI-built MVPs (Lovable, Cursor, Replit, Bolt, Claude Code, v0) into production software.
