Job Placement · Technology

That open engineering seat is slipping your roadmap.

Every sprint without full headcount is a product commitment you cannot keep. Features slip. Technical debt compounds. The team carries the load until someone leaves too. We place software engineers, data scientists, and IT professionals in 23-35 days at roughly 50% less than contingency firms.

The Real Cost of a Slow Search

What does that open role actually cost your organization?

$800-$1,500/day
Value of one senior engineer's sprint output
One unfilled senior dev seat is not just a headcount gap - it is measurable product velocity you are not shipping.
10 days
Average time before a tech candidate has multiple competing offers
In-demand engineers move fast. A 90-day process is not competing for the same candidates a 30-day process is.
3x
Harder to replace a senior engineer vs. hire for the role the first time
Technical roles require deep screening. Volume-based recruiting firms flood you with unqualified applicants.

How It Works

From open role to placed hire in three steps

01
Discovery call

We learn your organization, the role, and what a strong candidate actually looks like in your environment. 15 minutes. No fluff.

02
Active sourcing

We go direct to passive candidates - professionals who are not on job boards but are quietly open to the right opportunity. This is where most searches fail.

03
Shortlist review

You receive 3-5 pre-screened candidates. No stacks of resumes. No wasted interviews. You meet candidates who have already been qualified against your specific criteria.

What You Get

Three things every organization wants - and most placement firms do not offer

Bonus 01No contingency fees. Ever.

Common objection: "We already work with contingency recruiters."

Contingency tech recruiters typically charge 20-25% of first-year salary. For a $180,000 engineer, that is $36,000-$45,000. Milestone-based pricing brings that cost down by roughly 50%, while aligning our incentives with your timeline.

Bonus 0245-day replacement guarantee at no charge.

Common objection: "What if the placement doesn't work out?"

If the hire does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge. Our guarantee is longer than most contingency firms and is built into every engagement.

Bonus 03A curated shortlist. Not a resume stack.

Common objection: "We have used recruiters before and wasted time on bad candidates."

You will not sort through 20 resumes hoping one sticks. Your dedicated search specialist builds a shortlist of 3-5 candidates who have been screened against your specific criteria. You only meet people who are genuinely qualified. The first interview is a real conversation, not a screening exercise.

The Math on Waiting

Every week that role stays open is a decision you are making.

A senior engineer billing at $150,000-$200,000 per year represents $4,000-$7,500 per week in sprint capacity. A vacant seat for 12 weeks means roughly $48,000-$90,000 in unshipped product or absorbed overload - before you factor in the compounding effect on the rest of the team.

The Talent Window

The best candidates are only available for a few weeks.

Software engineers and data scientists with in-demand skills receive multiple recruiter outreaches daily. When a strong candidate decides to make a move, they typically have an offer within two weeks. Passive candidates are the best candidates - and they are not responding to job board postings.

No commitment. We will tell you exactly what we can do for your search and what it costs.

FAQ

Common questions

What roles do you place?

Software engineers (frontend, backend, full-stack), mobile developers, data scientists, machine learning engineers, DevOps and platform engineers, engineering managers, CTOs, IT directors, and other technical leadership roles.

How is this different from a staffing agency?

We are not a staffing agency. This is direct permanent placement with milestone-based pricing. You hire the candidate directly. We are not placing temps or contractors.

How does milestone-based pricing work?

Payments are tied to defined milestones in the search process rather than a lump-sum contingency fee at the end. Total cost is roughly 50% less than a standard contingency arrangement. Exact structure is covered on your discovery call.

What does the 45-day guarantee cover?

If the placed candidate does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge.

How quickly can you start a search?

Typically within one week of your discovery call. We begin active sourcing immediately after alignment on the role profile and compensation range.
