Yes, the Dev-Hub is free for developers. All you need is a free Java District account. There are no hidden costs, and you don't pay anything if you find a new job through the platform.

The Dev-Hub will have six parts: application tips, a growth path, a salary benchmark, CV optimisation, events and a blog about the JVM job market. These tools will be available soon; with a free account, you'll be the first to know when they go live. The Java Developer Report 2025-2026, with insights on salaries, the market and career trends, is available to download now.

The Dev-Hub is for developers working with Java and other JVM languages such as Kotlin and Scala, and for related roles in back-end, full-stack, cloud, DevOps and data. From junior to senior: anyone who wants to grow consciously and stay in control of their own career.

At Java District, you have direct contact with the tech team, without recruiters in between. You decide whether you're visible to companies, and a conversation can only start after a mutual match. So you get no recruitment spam and stay in control.
