How It Works

Step 1. Tailored Matching & Rigorous Vetting
  • The matching process starts after a call discussing your requirements with a UK based expert
  • Our thorough vetting process ensures quality and excellence:
    • Technical & Logical Expertise Candidates are evaluated through multiple interviews, rigorous assessments, and live coding challenges.
    • Communication Skills: We assess proficiency in verbal and written communication across several interviews and exams.
    • Background Screening: Rigorous checks to confirm credentials, ensuring every candidate meets our high standards.
Step 2. Meet The Candidates
  • Select candidates from your personalized shortlist to interview. Evaluate their technical skills and alignment with your team’s goals and culture.
  • We keep it simple:
    • You’re in charge of choosing the perfect candidate for your team.
    • No costs are incurred until your chosen developer joins your team.
Step 3. Onboarding
  • We manage every aspect of the onboarding process, allowing you to focus on what matters.
    • HR & Payroll: We handle it all, with a simple, monthly invoice.
    • Productivity Tools: software designed to enhance efficiency and track progress.
    • Transparent Pricing: With rates starting at ~£20/hour, our full managed service delivers up to 50% annual cost savings compared to hiring locally.
Step 4. Ongoing Support for Long-term Success
  • Our commitment extends well beyond hiring. We’re here to ensure sustained success for you and your developers:
    • Continuous Support: Dedicated regional Account Managers and a proactive Customer Success Team provide regular check-ins and assistance.
    • Feedback & Management: Weekly feedback calls keep progress on track.
    • Our flexible contract: enable businesses to scale according to their needs.
