The Growing Threat of Scammers Impersonating Skilled Developers: How Lemon.io safeguards Clients and Developers Scammers targeting the tech industry by posing as skilled developers are becoming an increasing problem. In 2023, these types of scams surged by 118%, with fraudsters leveraging artificial intelligence to create convincing fake job listings and steal personal information. In the first half of 2024 alone, scammers managed to steal over $41 million in cryptocurrency, and employment-related fraud accounted for nearly 40% of total fraud in the same period, amounting to $220 million. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported that in 2022, the average loss per victim of employment scams was $2,000, with overall losses totaling $367 million (https://lnkd.in/dSjCpD2S). At Lemon.io, we, too, face constant attacks from scammers. However, we take this threat very seriously. Our team rigorously vets candidates, ensuring that only genuine, qualified developers are selected and distinguishing them from fraudsters. Our goal is to ensure that our clients work with the top developers in the industry. To date, we’ve successfully prevented any scammer from passing our thorough screening process. We confidently invite both clients, who can trust that they are working with legitimate, qualified developers and skilled developers who will have the opportunity to choose from exciting, challenging projects. Lemon.io is dedicated to providing a secure, professional platform free from scams.

It was a regular Wednesday when Anastasiia Andriienko found her mouse occupied. Was it a legitimate reason to stop her work for that day? ?? ? In every career, obstacles will always be present. Deadlines, setbacks, new processes—they can feel overwhelming. But here's the truth:?it’s not the challenges we face that define us, but how we rise above them. ???Every obstacle is a stepping stone—an opportunity to grow, learn, and become more resilient. ???Every instruction is a chance to refine—to sharpen your skills, to adapt, and to innovate in your role. Instead of resisting the hurdles or feeling defeated by guidelines, embrace them. These are the moments that build character, foster creativity, and lead to breakthroughs. Success doesn't come from waiting for the perfect conditions—it comes from thriving amidst the imperfect ones. So, the next time you face a challenge or a detailed directive, remember: this is where growth happens. Keep pushing forward, stay adaptable, and celebrate your progress—even when it feels small. You've got this! #GrowthMindset #Resilience #Leadership #OvercomeObstacles #ProfessionalDevelopment #Adaptability

The last few years have seen a remarkable increase in women excelling in the tech industry. From coding to leadership roles, women break old societal stereotypes that once dictated paths. At?Lemon.io, we are proud to be part of this transformation. ?Take, for example,?Viktoria Bohomaz, a?Senior Back-end Web Developer. She has always excelled at solving logical problems, thanks to her upbringing in a family of mathematicians. With her grandparents both being math professionals, she grew up immersed in a world of numbers, which naturally led her to pursue a career in programming. Viktoria’s journey from childhood math enthusiast to professional developer is a testament to the power of early exposure to technical fields. ?Another inspiring example is?Aleksandra Volkova, a?Senior UI/UX Designer. With a background in constructing designs for clothing for over 10 years, she honed her skills in working with numbers and predicting outcomes—skills that have been invaluable in her transition into design. Oleksandra has worked in UI/UX for five years and is a returning favorite among our clients. Right now, she’s actively engaged in a long-term project through?Lemon.io, and we can confidently say that her clients are fortunate to have her. ?Kateryna Kryvenko?is another essential member of our back-end team at?Lemon.io. Her decision to pursue a degree in Computer Science after high school felt like a natural choice. Although university studies were challenging, Katya found inspiration in her classmates—especially the women—who were already landing their first jobs and gaining real-world experience. By her third year, she began freelancing, working on simple Python scripts, eventually leading to her first full-time role. Through various outstaffing projects, she progressed from automating business processes to becoming a team lead. However, Katya soon realized her passion lay in more technical tasks, leading her to discover Node.js and embark on her path as a back-end developer. Our team includes incredible women leaders who oversee large teams, technical specialists who push the boundaries of innovation, and mentors whose expertise creates magic in our internal and external processes. ?Yevheniia Stoicheva, our product manager, has had an inspiring journey from starting in Support and QA to reaching her current role. ?Another standout is Yevgeniya Kruglova, who has been in a leadership position for many years and now manages a vast team of talents. This further highlights the decisive leadership and diverse talents within our team at?Lemon.io! We know that great minds come from diverse backgrounds, and we invite women and men to join our team of professionals. Your experience, drive, and proactive spirit are highly valued here. Let’s build something unique together! #Lemonio #WomenInTech?#FemaleDevelopers #Empowerment #TechIndustry #JoinUs #CareerGrowth
