Are you a tech startup or a growing tech company? Are you looking for the best ways to add skilled and experienced developers to your team? You may have found that hiring remote developers in emerging markets like Kazakhstan is a viable option for you and your company — but you may not be sure where to start and Truss may be able to help.
Kazakhstan has emerged as a growing market in the tech world with a deep talent pool that emphasizes Java, Python, and .NET programming. With increased emphasis on tech-based education and careers in Kazakhstan, this Central Asian country has become a hiring hotspot for U.S.-based tech companies in search of skilled developers.
With that being said — it can be a challenge for tech companies to find the right fit for their business with limited knowledge of the country and region. Truss provides tech companies with a global hiring platform that will help find, recruit, hire, and manage remote employees across the globe — and this guide to hiring and vetting developers in Kazakhstan is here to help.

How To Hire and Vet Developers in Kazakhstan
You are ready to find and hire tech talent in emerging tech markets like Kazakhstan — but where do you start? How do you find developers with the skillsets you need? Where do you start the search? How do you find developers with the right language skills to succeed with your company? What are the legal issues of hiring remote developers in Kazakhstan? These questions, and many more, are important to answer when you make the decision to hire remote talent from different parts of the world.
We may be able to help you get started at Truss.
1. Find and Recruit Developers in Kazakhstan
The first step when you decide to hire remote developers in Kazakhstan and Central Asia is to find and recruit developers with the skills, experience, and salary requirements that will meet your specifications. When you hire overseas, you may not be able to use the same methods you have found success with in the United States. Viable options for tech companies that hope to hire developers in Kazakhstan is to post job openings on platforms like LinkedIn or GitHub, post jobs on job boards like Headhunter.kz or the National Electronic Labor Exchange in Kazakhstan, or hire a recruitment agency.
Truss provides tech companies with an end-to-end alternative. We have years of experience finding and hiring talent in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, that has given us additional insight into how to hire and vet remote employees in the region and has allowed us to develop successful strategies. Provide the Truss Team with a list of your requirements for the position and we will find and recruit talented developers for you — and when you find the right fit, we will assist your remote team with onboarding and managing new hires.
2. Vet Developers in Kazakhstan
How do you make sure that prospective hires have the skills that they need to succeed? With every developer that you hire and then have to let go, you lose money, which makes the vetting process for remote developers even more critical to your long-term success. Here is a better look at a few steps you can take to vet remote developers and find the perfect fit for your tech company:
- Review and evaluate the skills of prospective employees with a technical skills assessment or short-term project that will help you ensure that new employees have the hard skills they need to thrive, rather than relying on a basic interview.
- Evaluate soft skills and language proficiency of prospective employees from Kazakhstan as a part of the interview process. This helps ensure that new employees can easily communicate in English for their day-to-day tasks.
- Perform background checks that include employment and educational history in addition to a review of their professional credentials.
3. Know and Understand Employment Laws in Kazakhstan
When you hire and vet employees from Kazakhstan, Central Asia, and other parts of the world, it is important that you know and understand the employment laws in that country. Tech companies that are not compliant with local employment laws may be subject to legal action and financial penalties. This includes having a clear understanding of employment contracts, salary requirements, working hours and Paid Time Off (PTO) requirements, termination requirements, and more.
Truss can be a valuable resource for U.S.-based tech companies that hire remote developers as your Employer of Record (EOR) in Kazakhstan. When Truss serves as your Employer of Record, we will handle payroll, taxes, and other compliance-related issues, allowing you to stay focused on your next project without having to establish a local entity in Kazakhstan.
