The Problem
Your Product Isn’t Your Only Hiring Problem
- Your engineering backlog is growing.
- Your CTO is still doing work somebody else should own.
- Your salespeople need more qualified conversations. Your customer success team needs someone who can actually manage customers instead of forwarding every difficult question to the founder.
- And somehow, you’re still doing half the administrative work yourself.
That’s the reality of growing a SaaS company.
Hiring another developer might help. But it won’t fix a sales bottleneck, a disorganized onboarding process, or a founder who’s buried in operations.
You need the right people in the right seats across the business. And you need to find them without spending months recruiting or burning through your hiring budget.
Why HireUA
One Recruiting Partner. Multiple Talent Markets.
You have several ways to hire. Each comes with a trade-off.
Alternative
- Hiring yourself. You write the job description, advertise, screen applications, coordinate interviews, and hope the right candidate shows up.
- Job boards and freelance marketplaces. You get access to applicants, but you still have to determine who can actually do the job.
- One-country recruiting agencies. They can search their market. If the right candidate isn’t there, your options are limited.
- Traditional local recruiting. For expensive local markets, adding several full-time employees can consume a significant portion of your budget.
HireUA
- Hiring yourself. With HireUA, we handle the search and screening. You interview the finalists.
- Job boards and freelance marketplaces. We recruit against the requirements of your specific position.
- One-country recruiting agencies. HireUA recruits across multiple countries and regions.
- Traditional local recruiting. Global hiring gives you another option without making salary the only hiring criterion.

Questions
SaaS Hiring FAQs
Can HireUA recruit software developers?
Yes. We’ve recruited developers for SaaS and software companies, including Charlie AI, Elayne, and Maility. We recruit according to the technical requirements and experience needed for the position.
Can you recruit roles outside engineering?
Yes. SaaS businesses also need sales, marketing, operations, customer success, and executive support. Elayne is an example of a company that hired across several departments through HireUA.
How quickly can we interview candidates?
We present qualified candidates within 5 days of kickoff. The full hiring timeline depends on your availability, interviews, and final decision.
Do you only recruit from Ukraine?
No. HireUA began in Ukraine and now recruits talent from 40+ countries. We choose markets according to the requirements of the role.
Can candidates work during US business hours?
Working-hour requirements are part of defining the role. Tell us what overlap your team needs, and we’ll use that requirement when determining where to recruit.
How do you screen technical candidates?
We establish the role requirements, source candidates, and screen their qualifications against those requirements before presenting finalists. Your team conducts the final interviews and decides who meets its technical standards.
How much does it cost to hire through HireUA?
Monthly Hire includes HireUA administering and paying the hire. Direct Hire costs 15% of annual salary, subject to a $3,000 minimum, and you employ the person directly.
Can we hire more than one person?
Yes. HireUA works with individual roles, multiple hires, and ongoing recruiting needs. We can also provide recruitment process outsourcing for a role or department.
Can HireUA work alongside our internal recruiting team?
Yes. We can support your existing recruiters with positions they don’t have the capacity to fill or with ongoing searches.
Do you work with early-stage startups or larger SaaS companies?
Both. HireUA serves small businesses and teams as large as 1,000 people. The recruiting approach depends on the roles, hiring volume, and internal resources available.
