Hire Laravel developers

Six client products run on Laravel here, around 70,200 hours logged by our PHP developers since 2022, and all six are still active. The largest is a marketplace for soil and aggregates in construction — 40,000 hours since 2022, with hauling logistics and e-ticketing. Beside it: the platform behind a luxury travel agency, an adventure travel marketplace whose core we are rewriting in Laravel now, a guest platform for high-end hotels and restaurants, and a marketing platform for the construction industry. The practice behind them is the oldest in the company; our allocation records for it start in 2018.

We have opened 20 Laravel roles since 2021 and closed 10 with a hire, at a median of 26 days from opening the role to a signed offer — faster than our Node hiring and close to Rails. It took 1,033 candidates to make those 10 hires, which is the more honest way to describe what recruiting for this stack costs. Two Laravel roles are open right now, so ask on the first call whether we are matching you to someone or starting a search.

Most Laravel work that reaches us is not a new build. It is a system that already earns money and has to keep earning while the PHP version moves, the framework upgrades, and the parts written years ago get replaced. That work rewards a team that has read the codebase before and punishes rotation harder than greenfield does, because a new team re-learns your business rules by breaking them. Our largest Laravel product has had a team on it continuously since 2022.

It spans further than people expect. The smaller products run on two or three backend developers, often on half allocations, with a tech lead holding the architecture and a frontend beside them in Next.js or Vue. The largest has had a standing team since 2022 and has passed 40,000 hours. What does not change is that the same people stay: if you need eight developers next month we are not the right answer, and if you need two who will still be there in two years, we are.

Yes, and it is worth being precise about what you have. Our PHP practice covers roughly 94,700 hours across 24 client products since 2022; Laravel is about 70,200 of that. One of the largest products we run is on CakePHP — 18,000 hours since 2022, still shipping — and the rest is older PHP on frameworks nobody markets any more, or on none at all. If that is your situation, the hire PHP developers page is the more useful read, and the first honest conversation is usually whether migrating to Laravel is worth it or whether the system should be left where it is.
