Hiring skilled Indonesian developers can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when local processes and compliance issues enter the picture.
RainTech is here to take that burden off your shoulders, guiding you through each step with clarity, care, and expertise. While many clients complete the process in under two weeks, some finish in just days, it all depends on your unique needs and readiness.
Here's how hiring with RainTech works, step by step.
Step 1: Starting with Honest Conversation
RainTech never throws you into applications or automated tests at the start. The first thing RainTech does is sit down (virtually) for a genuine chat.
Founders are encouraged to share their real hiring challenges and hopes, not just what's on a job description. RainTech's team asks thoughtful questions like:
- "What's the biggest problem you want your new hire to solve?"
- "How does your team operate, are you remote, hybrid, or asynchronous?"
- "What did you wish had gone better in your previous hiring efforts?"
This conversation isn't rushed or scripted. It's meant to build trust and set clear expectations. You'll hear exactly what documents will be needed, what local compliance means and why it protects everyone, and how quickly things can realistically move once both parties are ready.
Step 2: Sourcing & Screening
RainTech's developer network isn't a cold list of names scraped from job boards. Each candidate undergoes thorough verification, not just on technical skills like coding, frameworks, or English proficiency, but also motivation, communication style, and how they respond to feedback.
RainTech checks references from previous projects and often requests practical coding samples.
When presenting candidates, recruiters paint a full picture. For example:
- "This candidate loves direct feedback and attends daily standups. She recently led backend development for a Jakarta fintech company and thrives in small startup teams."
- "This developer excels in mobile applications but prefers asynchronous communication, which could suit your flexible work style."
Client feedback happens quickly. RainTech facilitates private calls to clarify impressions, address concerns, and make sure candidates don't just technically match, but culturally fit your team's way of working.
Step 3: Interviews & Assessments
Thanks to RainTech's expert time zone management, interviews can be scheduled swiftly, often within a day. These aren't hard quizzes, they're conversations about real challenges.
Founders discuss use cases from their projects, ask how candidates overcame past obstacles, and gauge how they think through problems they haven't seen before.
RainTech guides both sides on what to expect and occasionally joins to bridge cultural gaps, keeping interviews friendly but focused. This respect and clarity create an environment where candidates feel heard and clients get the insights they really care about.
Following interviews, RainTech supports you in analyzing feedback, not just who performed best technically, but who will genuinely thrive in your culture.
Step 4: Discussion, Negotiation, and Decision
Once you select candidates, RainTech ensures neither side feels left in the dark. Salary benchmarks, common remote work practises, payroll details, legal compliance, benefits, and holidays are explained transparently.
Contracts are drafted in simple language and signed digitally, no confusing jargon or paperwork delays.
If you ask, "What if the developer prefers part-time?" or "Can i adjust the contract if my team grows?" RainTech team offers tailored, honest guidance quickly.
Our legal experts ensure contracts comply with Indonesian law, protecting you and your new hire. This openness reduces stress, speeds negotiations, and prevents surprises during onboarding.
Step 5: Contract & Onboarding
After contracts are signed, RainTech takes over the heavy lifting. Payroll accounts are set up with all taxes and compliance handled, a welcome kit introduces your company culture, Slack and Zoom invites get sent out. The new developer is introduced to your team and given the support needed to hit the ground running.
Many clients don't realize how much RainTech saves them from chasing translations, worrying about tax shocks, or delays due to holiday entitlements. All of that runs smoothly in the background so you can concentrate on developing your product.
