Best Places to Hire VB.NET Developers
You can hire VB.NET 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 VB.NET 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 VB.NET 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 VB.NET work inside your product team, staff augmentation gives you a full-time developer without hiring admin.
Staffenza places remote VB.NET 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.
VB.NET developer FAQs
How do I hire VB.NET developers?
Start with the work: maintaining an app, adding features, moving to modern .NET or mixing in C#. Freelancers suit a short fix. For a dedicated VB.NET developer, Staffenza charges a flat USD 225 per month on top of salary. It can also employ hires in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
What skills should a VB.NET developer have?
Look for strong VB.NET with Windows Forms, ADO.NET and SQL Server, plus C#. They should know .NET Framework and modern .NET. Senior engineers add upgrades, refactoring and testing.
Is VB.NET still supported?
Yes. Microsoft's strategy says Visual Basic keeps a stable design and benefits from .NET runtime improvements. It takes a consumption-only approach to new features and will not be extended to new workloads.
Should we convert VB.NET code to C#?
Not always. Stable VB.NET code can stay, and C# can be added in the same solution. Converting suits code that needs new language features or a wider hiring pool.
