Our Process

An engineering-driven methodology that delivers the right talent, every time.

Our Process

Five Steps to Mission-Critical Talent

An engineering-driven methodology refined over years of placing technical professionals in high-stakes environments.

1

Discovery & Requirements

Day 1

We start with a deep technical intake — not a generic job description form. Our engineering team discusses your environment, tech stack, team dynamics, and specific challenges to understand exactly what ‘qualified’ means for your role.

2

Talent Sourcing

Days 1–3

We tap into our pre-vetted network of engineering professionals and actively recruit from technical communities. Because we speak the language, we attract candidates that traditional recruiters miss.

3

Technical Screening

Days 2–4

Every candidate is evaluated by engineers — not keyword-matching software. We assess real technical competency, problem-solving ability, and domain knowledge specific to your environment.

4

Client Presentation

Days 3–5

We present a shortlist of thoroughly vetted candidates with detailed technical profiles, assessment results, and our engineering team’s recommendation. No resume spam — only professionals we’d trust on our own job sites.

5

Onboarding & Support

Week 1+

Once you’ve selected your candidate, we ensure a smooth onboarding process. We stay engaged with regular check-ins, performance monitoring, and ongoing relationship management.
