What is Entity Framework?
Entity Framework is Microsoft's object-relational mapper for .NET. EF Core is the modern, cross-platform version used with current .NET releases.
Entity Framework vs Dapper
EF Core handles change tracking, LINQ and migrations. Dapper is lighter and faster for raw SQL. Many apps use both.

Best Places to Hire Entity Framework Developers
You can hire Entity Framework developers through five main routes. The best one depends on how long you need the person and how much control you want.
| Where to hire | How it works | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelance marketplaces | You post a job and hire individuals by the hour or project. | Small, short Entity Framework tasks | Vetting varies, and freelancers often split time across clients. |
| Job boards and LinkedIn | You advertise and run the hiring process yourself. | Permanent hires where you have an entity | Screening takes your team's time. |
| Specialist recruitment agencies | The agency finds candidates you employ directly. | Senior or hard-to-fill Entity Framework roles | You still need a legal way to employ the person. |
| Vetted talent networks | A network matches you with pre-screened contractors. | Short projects with fast matching | Hourly rates are usually higher. |
| Staff augmentation providers | The provider employs the developer, who works full time in your team. | Ongoing product work with direct control | You manage daily priorities. |
How to choose
For a one-off task, a freelancer may be enough. For ongoing Entity Framework work inside your product team, staff augmentation gives you a full-time developer without hiring admin.
Staffenza places remote Entity Framework developers for USD 225 a month on top of salary. Every candidate passes five steps: CV and portfolio review, technical assessment, live technical interview, English check and references. Read our guide on how to hire remote developers.
