About Us

In 2010, Brigham Tomco and David Kasteller created CoDev to target and eliminate common problems associated with outsourcing, which they had experienced first-hand through another business venture in digital marketing. They observed that small companies needed to augment their current workforce and keep their costs low, all while still maintaining direct control of the work being done. Large companies have the resources to open international offices as needed, but for most small businesses the time, money, and focus required make that approach impractical.

The CoDev business model was designed to give small businesses access to the benefits of an international workforce without the distraction and high costs of opening their own remote office. CoDev would do the recruiting overseas, but let the client act as the hiring manager and select the best person for the job. CoDev would provide the office space, IT support, timekeeping, and payroll services, as well as be the legal employer, handling any labor issues. The business owner would have all the benefits without the high startup costs and headaches. Headquartered in Utah and with their offshore operations in the Philippines, the CoDev team started offering their model to the business community and it grew to over 500 employees in 2011.

While CoDev had become a premier partner in providing human capital for their clients, the team soon found that they needed to become more targeted to better serve their clients. Since software development talent was in high demand, and CoDev already had a number of developers working for clients, the company shifted to recruiting for skills such as Java, PHP, .NET, and Javascript. Today, CoDev is still focused on recruiting technical talent for small businesses, but has continued to expand and adapt as technology changes, recruiting the most talented developers with the skills needed by each client. They have employees well versed in Ruby on Rails, Scala, and the MEAN stack, as well as various frameworks and modern development tools.

CoDev’s Mission is simple: To solve staffing problems by providing highly skilled professionals to growing technical companies. CoDev is well on its way to fulfilling that mission, and we look forward to helping your business grow.
