Where this service shines
Engineers Who Pass Your Interview
We send candidates who can ship from day one. If they don't pass your technical screen, we replace them — no argument.
Matched to Your Stack, Not Ours
We place engineers who already know your technologies. Zero ramp-up time. They contribute in the first week, not the second month.
Fully Embedded in Your Team
They use your tools, attend your standups, push to your repos, and follow your processes. They're part of your team, not an outsourced vendor.
Scale Monthly, No Lock-In
Add or release engineers at month boundaries. No long-term contracts. No penalties for scaling down when the work is done.
Senior-For-Senior, No Bait-and-Switch
The engineer you interview is the engineer who shows up. No junior substitutions after the contract is signed.

Frequently asked questions
What if the engineer doesn't work out?+
We replace them at no cost. If they don't pass your technical interview, we don't place them. If they don't perform after placement, we find a better fit — fast.
Are these junior engineers billed as senior?+
No. The engineer you interview is the engineer who shows up. We don't bait-and-switch. If you need a senior React engineer, you interview a senior React engineer — not a junior we'll "grow into" the role.
How fast can you have someone started?+
Typically 1–2 weeks from the requirements call to the engineer's first commit. We have a bench of vetted engineers, so we're not starting a search from scratch.
Can we hire the engineer permanently?+
Yes. Many of our augmentations convert to full-time hires. We structure the conversion so it's fair to you and the engineer — no exorbitant buyout fees.
