Hiring AI talent shouldn't take 142 days.

The market is broken. Here's what CTOs keep telling us.

The Talent Black Hole

76% of AI candidates lack production experience. You interview 47, hire zero. The talent pool is flooded with resumes, starved of builders.

The Budget Spiral

AI developer wage premiums jumped 124% in one year. Bidding wars burn through budgets before projects even start.

What our clients say

Trusted by teams that ship fast.

We interviewed 47 candidates over nine months and hired zero. Newcrafter matched us with a developer who shipped our RAG pipeline in three weeks. We're never going back to traditional hiring.

CTO, Series B AI Startup

The quality difference is night and day. Our Newcrafter developer writes more production-ready code in a day than our previous hire did in a week. AI-native isn't a buzzword — it's a different speed of execution.

5x delivery speed

VP Engineering, Growth-Stage Fintech

We needed someone who could actually build with Claude Code, not just talk about it. Newcrafter understood the difference and matched us perfectly. Zero ramp-up time.

Questions?

We verify actual AI tool proficiency — not just resume claims. Developers demonstrate their workflow with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools on real tasks. We assess shipping speed, code quality, and production experience. Only developers who actively build with AI tools daily make it through.

48 hours on average for the first match. We present 2–3 pre-vetted candidates who fit your stack, timeline, and budget. For specialized or urgent requests, we can accelerate to same-day matching.

Value-based pricing tied to project scope, not hourly billing. You get a fixed quote before work starts. No hidden fees, no bidding wars. Our developers charge what their AI-augmented speed is worth — and you save on total project cost because they ship faster.

Yes. Add developers as projects grow, reduce when they're done. No long-term contracts, no notice periods. Perfect for MVP sprints, feature launches, or ongoing AI integration work.

We re-match at no cost. If the first developer isn't the right fit, we'll find a replacement within 48 hours. Our 96% delivery rate means this rarely happens, but we stand behind every match.

Yes. We manage contracts, invoicing, and payments. You get a single invoice, we handle developer payments across any geography. Compliance, tax, and legal are covered.
