Hire full stack developers — cover both ends with one great hire
TRUSTED BY COMPANIES ACROSS AFRICA, THE US, AND EUROPE





SKILLS & TECHNOLOGIES
Full Stack Developers available across every major stack
Every developer specifies the frameworks and tools they've
shipped to production — not just listed on a CV.
WHY GIGSON
Why hire full stack engineers
through Gigson
Not a marketplace. A curated, assessed talent pool — with a 48-hour
match guarantee.
One hire, both sides of the stack
A strong full stack developer moves features from database to UI without handoffs. For early-stage teams and lean engineering orgs, this is often the most efficient single hire you can make.
Assess both sides properly
The Devcenter assessment tests both frontend and backend capability. You're not getting a developer who's strong on one side and weak on the other — both are verified.
Multiple stack combinations
React + Node.js, Next.js + PostgreSQL, Vue + Laravel, Django + React — filter by the combination your codebase already uses.
Faster product iteration
Full stack developers reduce team coordination overhead. One engineer can own a feature end to end, ship it, and iterate — without waiting for cross-team reviews.
VETTING PROCESS
How every full stack developer is assessed
Top 4% is not marketing. Here is exactly what
every developer goes through.
96%
of applicants do not pass — only the top 4% of full stack developers make it into the Gigson network.
23,000+
vetted developers currently in the network — actively available for new roles across all specialisations.
Free replacement guarantee

Devcenter technical assessment
Profile enrichment
Talent manager review (managed)

Real projects, real outcomes.

MVPs
Get a working product to market fast. Full stack engineers move faster on tight timelines.
Internal Tools
Admin dashboards, CRMs, reporting tools — built and maintained by one capable engineer.
"Our full stack hire owns entire features independently. He'll design the API, build the React UI, write the tests, and deploy — all in a single sprint. That kind of self-sufficiency is exactly what a startup needs."
