- Individual NDAs per engineer and IP assigned to you
- Your tools, your workflow, your reporting line
What it takes to hire iOS developers quickly
You can hire iOS developers through us and have them working in your codebase in 10 days or less. We brief on the role, shortlist senior Swift engineers we have already vetted, and you interview and choose. Nobody joins without your approval. From there they work as part of your team: your board, your branching rules, your release train, reporting to your mobile lead. We employ them, run payroll and contracts, sign an individual NDA per engineer, and assign IP to you. Founded in 2019 in Yerevan, we have placed 142+ engineers and hold a Clutch rating of 5.0.

What our iOS engineers work on
New builds and feature work
Greenfield apps in SwiftUI, and feature work inside apps that still carry plenty of UIKit. They set up architecture, navigation and state handling in a way your team can keep maintaining after the engagement.
Scaling and performance
Startup time, scroll performance, memory pressure, background work and flaky networking. They profile first, fix the cause, and add tests so the same regression does not come back next release.
Release and App Store
Signing, provisioning, TestFlight builds, CI pipelines and App Store submission, including the review rejections that need a real fix rather than a resubmission.
From brief to embedded in 10 days or less
Brief
A 30-minute call on the app, the Swift and SwiftUI mix in the codebase, the seniority you need, and the overlap your mobile team works in.
Shortlist
CVs of the actual iOS engineers who would join, with the apps they shipped and the parts of the stack they own.
Interviews
You run your own technical interview, including code review or a live session if that is how you hire. You choose.
Embedded
Contracting, NDA and access, then they are in your standups, your repo and your release process, taking scoped tickets from day one.
Three ways to add an iOS engineer
The differences that matter are how fast someone starts, who checked their work before you saw them, and what happens when the fit is wrong.
| Option | Hire through Yoocollab | Freelance marketplace | Direct hire |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to start | 10 days or less from brief to embedded | Days, once you finish filtering profiles yourself | Months, plus notice periods |
| Vetting | Senior engineers pre-vetted by us, then interviewed by you | Ratings and self-reported skills | Entirely your process |
| Who manages | You do, directly, in your reporting line | You do, across whatever hours they keep | You do |
| Replacement | We replace the engineer if the fit is wrong | You start the search again | A new hiring cycle |
| Commitment | Per engineer, flexible | Per contract or per hour | Permanent headcount |
Common questions
How fast can I hire iOS developers through Yoocollab?
Ten days or less from the first brief to an engineer working in your repo is the normal path. Day one is the brief, a shortlist follows within a few days, then your interviews, contracting and access. If the role is unusually narrow we say so on the first call rather than letting you wait.
Are the engineers senior?
Yes. We place senior, pre-vetted Swift engineers, and we vet for the work rather than for a general score. That means real Swift and SwiftUI code, opinions about architecture and testing, and experience shipping through App Store review. You interview every candidate before anyone joins.
Can they work on an existing iOS app?
That is most of what our iOS engineers do. They read the codebase, pick up your conventions, and start on scoped work before proposing changes. Legacy UIKit next to newer SwiftUI is a normal situation and not a blocker.
Who manages the iOS developers day to day?
You do. They join your standups, your board, your branch and review rules, and they report to your mobile lead. We handle employment, payroll, contracts and a regular check-in so problems surface early instead of at the end of a quarter.
What does it cost to hire iOS developers this way?
Cost depends on seniority, the scope of the role and how long the engagement runs, so we answer it on the first call once we know what you need. There is no separate recruitment fee. Because there is no in-house hiring cycle, you also avoid the sourcing and onboarding overhead of a direct hire.
