Research - PHP Developer in Romania 2

Hi there (Romanians ONLY), If you are not Romanian PLEASE do not waste your time or mine. We are an early start-up with enough funding to finish the development of an application in PHP and we need your help :-) We know we want to use a Senior PHP Programmer/Developer (not website builder) from Romania or Ukraine; however, we need your help in terms of research in order to find the right path to a candidate or outsourcing company. We have 2 scenarios; a) hire (1-2) developers directly and have them work remotely from their homes, or b) contract an outsourcing company to hire the developer(s) for us, have them work in their offices and manage them as an in house source while we manage the day-to-day of the project directly with the developer(s). Deliverable 1 - What is your opinion as a native Romanian? If we hire directly, what is the probability we’ll obtaining the actual work for the time we are paying? 2 - What is an acceptable monthly salary for a Sr. PHP Developer/Programmer in Romania – 2-3 different cities please not only Bucharest. 3 - We need the contact information of the top 5 HR companies that can help us find the developers directly should that be the way we finally decide. We want you to speak with them and find out what is the charge for this service and how soon can we hire a Sr. Programmer if we use them. 4 - We need the contact information of the top 5 outsourcing companies that can help us find the developers to work at their offices should that be the way we finally decide. We want you to speak with them and find out what is the fee we need to pay for this service, is it a % or a flat fee on top of the developer's actual monthly salary and how soon can we hire a Sr. Programmer if we use them. We need this ASAP since we need to start the hiring process next week. Please don't hesitate to reply with any questions or concerns. Thanks in advance for accepting our project and we look forward to working together in many other projects should we decide (based on your research) to outsource to Romania. Best regards, Avi
