Questions, answered
How fast can an engineer start?
Once we have your role brief, we share a vetted shortlist quickly. After you choose, the engineer can start as soon as contracts are signed.
How do you vet engineers?
We check technical skills, past work, English communication and time-zone fit before anyone reaches your shortlist.
Who manages the engineer?
You do. They work in your tools and stand-ups. A dedicated account manager supports you on our side.
Do you sign an NDA and IP agreement?
Yes. Both are signed before work begins, so your code, data and ideas stay yours.
What if the engineer is not a fit?
Tell us and we will replace them with another vetted engineer.
How does pricing work?
You pay a clear hourly or monthly rate per engineer, with no recruitment fees. You can scale up or down each month.
Tell us the constraint. We will map the fastest way through it.
