The firm places pre-vetted developers with clients on flexible engagement terms, emphasizing cultural fit alongside technical screening. Notable clients include Riot Games, Kaplan, and Fox, reflecting strength in gaming, media, and enterprise technology. At $50-99/hr, X-Team sits in the mid-market band for staff augmentation, offering the scale of a large network with a retention-focused developer culture.

Who X-Team Is Best For

X-Team is best suited for internal engineering leaders who need trusted additional capacity without building a full recruiting function. Their nearly 20-year history in remote-first developer placement and marquee client roster in gaming and media signal a reliable talent bench for technical organizations. Companies that need full-project delivery or managed services will find their staff augmentation model requires strong internal PM capability.
