Full-stack developer recruitmentClients in the UK, Europe and USA
Full-stack can mean a frontend engineer with some API work, or a backend engineer who ships screens. We find out which before the CV reaches you, and match it to the balance your role needs.
01
A full-stack CV covers everything, so it takes an engineer to see which layer the candidate is strong in. That engineer is usually you. Every CV gets a second read, and the thin layer often only shows in the first technical interview.
02
You need CVs that pass engineering’s interview, so you can send a shortlist it trusts. An engineer reads every CV before it reaches you. Fewer CVs, but better ones.

of HR and recruitment leads who use agencies say the main reason engineering rejects agency candidates is that the CV looked good, but the person couldn’t do the job.
A developer or CTO who works in the stack interviews every candidate. Each of these is a question you would otherwise only answer in your own interview.
Where the candidate is strongest, where they need support, and whether that balance fits your team. We make the strongest and weakest layers clear.
Whether they can design a feature from UI state through API calls, and handle validation, authentication, asynchronous work and failure in the runtime they claim to know.
How they model, migrate and protect data, then take the feature through testing, deployment, monitoring and rollback.
They can explain what the framework, runtime and database are doing, and how they would track a failure across the stack.
They can show how they check AI-generated work, especially in the layers they know less well, and stay accountable for the result.
They tell you which parts of the stack they are weaker in, and how they get help there.
We recruit full-stack developers for roles that combine product-facing frontend work with backend services, data and deployment. The interview is weighted to the balance your role actually needs, rather than expecting identical depth in every layer.
Either way you get about 3 to 5 screened CVs a week, per role.

“Metamindz helped us recruit our now CTO, reviewing CVs as they came in and then putting the CTO through a thorough 90-minute live 360 technical test. Feedback from our now CTO of the test was glowing and comms from Metamindz throughout the entire process were excellent. Highly recommend!”
Rupert Boddington

“Worked with Lev and Max. We worked with MetaMindz to help us interview and assess software engineering candidates. They were professional and great from the outset and throughout, great speed too. Would 100% recommend and we will be working with them again.”
Alexander Bushe
CEO, Fuller Focus
“We found it really easy working with Lev and the team to hire for our lead developer role and despite it still being early days, our new hire is making an impact already!” source

Tell us about the roleWe define the role from your work, not the title. That includes the expected frontend-backend balance, data ownership, deployment responsibility and required level of autonomy.
Yes. We tailor the interview to the role and make the candidate’s strongest and weakest layers clear.
Our experience includes React, Next.js and Angular frontends with Node.js, Python, Ruby on Rails or .NET backends, plus SQL, NoSQL and cloud tooling.
Give us a few details about the role and your hiring plans. We'll assess your needs and get back to you with a practical next step.
Listed for reference. We use these to scope the brief with you. A keyword on a CV is where screening starts, and the interview decides whether the candidate can do the work.
Teams usually bring us in for: An early product team needing broad ownership. A scale-up adding end-to-end delivery capacity. A team seeking a frontend-leaning or backend-leaning generalist.
