Moonlight

Moonlight is a hiring platform that connects companies with pre-vetted software developers for both contract work and full-time remote positions.

The system also sends personalized weekly newsletters to both developers and companies with relevant matches and best practices.

Moonlight is particularly useful for tech startups and companies needing to quickly find developers with specific technical expertise. The average developer on the platform has 10 years of professional experience, and companies report faster hiring cycles and higher quality candidates compared to traditional recruitment methods.
