EchoGlobal

EchoGlobal is a Ukrainian IT staffing and recruitment firm founded in 2013, connecting companies in North America and Europe with remote software engineers from Eastern Europe and beyond. The company positions itself as a talent provider rather than a project delivery shop, handling recruitment, onboarding, payroll, taxes, benefits, and HR for developers it places with clients. It draws from talent pools across Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, India, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

The firm claims to deliver validated first candidates within three days of signing an agreement and uses what it calls a patented EGTI ranking system to vet IT specialists. Pricing starts at approximately €6,400 per month or €40 per hour for experienced engineers in Ukraine or Poland, with the company stating that around 80% of monthly fees go directly to the developer's salary and benefits. There is no upfront payment required, and clients get a one-week risk-free trial; if unsatisfied, they can part ways without payment and request a replacement with one day's notice.

Services and capabilities

EchoGlobal offers three primary engagement models. IT Staff Augmentation adds developers to an existing in-house team for project-specific needs or to fill skill gaps. The model integrates at any stage of the software development lifecycle and is suited for companies wanting to retain control over developers while gaining flexible scaling. Dedicated Development Teams assemble a managed squad led by a senior project manager or team lead, along with QA and DevOps support. This hybrid approach sits between pure augmentation and full outsourcing; the company shares responsibility for outcomes and handles people management while the client maintains direct communication with team members. Tech Recruitment sources and places candidates directly into client companies for permanent or contract roles.

The company's vetting process includes CV screening, technical evaluations, English-language checks, interviews, and reference verification. According to the source material, EchoGlobal achieves a 3-to-1 submit-to-hire ratio and maintains an average employee tenure of three years with clients. It operates without upfront fees and offers a three-month probation period during which clients can request a replacement with 24 hours' notice.

Industry verticals where the company claims expertise include construction, retail, travel, real estate, iGaming, and green technology. The source mentions that as of its website copy, it serves clients across these sectors but does not break out revenue or case study performance metrics beyond client names.

Notable work

EchoGlobal lists case studies for nine clients: Glasscubes (secure online workspace platform), Homeflow (SaaS for UK estate agents serving 500+ agencies), Low6 (mobile sports gaming and fan engagement), an unnamed US Fortune 500 company operating the world's largest platform in construction and renovation, Touch Stay (digital guest welcome books for short-term rentals), Platinum Group (event ticketing for Formula One, ATP, MotoGP, Le Bourget Air Show), PowWowNow (formerly a conference calling platform since 2004, discontinued in 2021), Litera Microsystems (legal document software), and Made (online furniture retailer). The source does not provide measurable project outcomes, timelines, or technical scope for any of these engagements—only descriptive summaries of what each client's product does.

How they work

Engagement begins with a requirements conversation covering project details, job descriptions, team size, workflow, and cultural priorities. EchoGlobal then identifies and validates candidates through HR and technical interviews; the client approves each developer before hiring. The company continues as a mediator post-hire to support the relationship. Pricing is fixed monthly with no upfront payments. The model assumes a long-term partnership rather than short-term contract work.

Team and credentials

The company was established in 2013 and operates across Eastern Europe and beyond. Its team size is not disclosed in the source material. EchoGlobal does not list third-party certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, etc.), partner badges, or Clutch/G2 ratings. It claims to have a "vast network" of developers but provides no headcount breakdown or office locations beyond the geographic talent pool it mentions.
