WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for healthtech teams who need
senior engineering capacity, fast
If you recognise your situation below, Gigson Performance is the right call.
You don't have time to run a full hiring process
CTOs at growth-stage healthtech companies don't have 8–12 weeks to run a technical hiring process alongside product deadlines and engineering decisions. Gigson Performance handles sourcing, vetting, and shortlisting.
Your product performance is holding back growth
Gerocare's 70% performance improvement shows what the right backend hire can do. If your platform is slow, unreliable, or struggling to scale to more patients or providers, engineering quality is likely the constraint.
You need engineers who understand digital health products
Health platforms, EHR systems, and patient-facing apps have domain requirements that general engineers often lack. Your talent manager screens for engineers who've built in healthtech — not just good general engineers applied to a health context.
You're launching or scaling a health app
Mobile health apps serving patients require mobile engineers who understand health data sensitivity alongside standard performance requirements. Gigson's network includes React Native and Flutter developers with healthtech context.
You're building EHR or FHIR integrations
Electronic health record integrations, HL7/FHIR APIs, and interoperability work require domain experience most general engineers don't have. Gigson's healthtech network includes engineers who've built these systems before.
US/UK healthtech engineering costs are unsustainable
Digital health startups face high engineering costs at precisely the stage when capital matters most. At 40–60% savings vs. US/UK rates, Gigson hires extend runway and free capital for product development and growth.
Imagine developers who stay productive. Forever.
Work with experienced developers who have a dedicated team to help them maintain highest productivity levels.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything in a managed
healthtech developer hire
Gigson Performance is not a job board. It's a fully managed service with healthtech domain screening built in.
Dedicated talent manager
A human talent manager handles your search from day one. They understand healthtech stacks and will specifically ask about your domain requirements, stack, and product context before surfacing candidates.
100% Human-led
Healthtech domain screening
Beyond the standard Devcenter assessment, your talent manager screens for digital health product experience, EHR/FHIR integration knowledge, health data platform familiarity, and the specific stack and domain context your product requires.
Assessment verified
Post-placement performance oversight
Your talent manager stays engaged after placement to monitor delivery. In healthtech, catching a performance problem early is far less costly than discovering it in production.
Ongoing support
Free replacement at any time
If the developer underperforms, Gigson replaces at no additional placement fee. In healthtech, engineering continuity matters — this guarantee protects you.
100% guarantee
3 shortlisted candidates in 5 days
Three fully profiled healthtech candidates with assessment scores, project history including health products built, domain experience, salary expectations, and availability. You interview, not filter.
Delivery certain
Cross-border contracts & compliance
Hiring across borders means contractor agreements, statutory requirements, and remote work compliance. Gigson handles all of it so your legal team doesn't have to build a new process for every African hire.
Cross-border ready
Capital is not for gambling. Choose the sure thing.
We don’t require a recruitment fee. Hire a developer and only pay if you are satisfied with their performance.

Gigson's healthtech network includes engineers with experience in digital health products, electronic health record (EHR) integrations, HL7/FHIR standards, health data platforms, and patient-facing mobile apps.
