Frequently asked questions
Most teams see matched candidates within 48 hours. Our pre-vetted network means we are not starting from scratch when you reach out. If we do not have the right person available, we will tell you upfront rather than scramble.
Practitioners vet practitioners. Your growth marketer candidate gets interviewed by someone who has run growth at similar companies, not a recruiter checking keywords. We combine technical assessments, portfolio reviews, and cultural fit screening before anyone reaches your inbox.
Contract talent works on defined projects with clear deliverables. Embedded talent integrates into your team for ongoing work, attending standups and using your tools. Both can transition to full-time if the fit is right. We help you choose based on scope, timeline, and budget.
If it is not working in the first few weeks, we will find you a replacement at no additional cost. We are not in the business of defending bad matches. Most clients never need this because we invest heavily in fit upfront.
We offer flexible engagement models: hourly for short-term projects, monthly retainers for ongoing work, or placement fees for full-time hires. No hidden fees, no long-term contracts unless you want them. Your account manager will walk through options on your discovery call.
Yes. Someone who thrived at Google with dedicated QA, DevOps, and product managers may flounder when they have to wear all three hats. We look for people who have operated at your stage, pace, and level of ambiguity.
Yes, and not just the flashy demo-building part. Our Agent Operations practice includes people who have run AI agents in production and dealt with the messy reality of keeping them reliable, cost-effective, and safe.
Most marketplaces optimize for volume. They send you 10 candidates hoping one sticks. We optimize for fit. We would rather say “we do not have the right person” than waste your time. Our 95% satisfaction rate comes from being selective, not fast.
