Our Hiring Process – From Brief to Offer in 7 Days
No CV spam. No endless interviews. A transparent, vetted pipeline that delivers top 1% tech talent – fast.
Requirement Deep Dive & Strategy
We start with a 30‑minute call with your CTO or hiring manager. We discuss your tech stack, team culture, seniority level, budget, and timeline. We also map out any non‑negotiable skills (e.g., specific cloud provider, legacy system experience).
Deliverable: A detailed role profile + market salary benchmark + sourcing strategy.
Active Sourcing + Multi‑Stage Vetting
We tap our proprietary database of 10,000+ pre‑screened tech professionals, plus targeted outreach on LinkedIn, GitHub, and niche job boards. Every candidate goes through:
- Technical screening – live coding (HackerRank) or system design interview
- Behavioural & communication assessment – culture fit, English proficiency, remote readiness
- Portfolio / GitHub review – real code quality
- Reference checks – from past managers
Only the top 8% of applicants pass this stage.
Shortlist & Candidate Presentation
We present 3–5 pre‑vetted profiles with:
- Detailed resume + LinkedIn
- Code sample / GitHub repository
- Recorded technical interview (optional)
- Salary expectations and notice period
You choose whom to interview – no obligation.
Interviews, Feedback & Offer
We coordinate all interviews (video or in‑person). After each round, we collect structured feedback. Once you find “the one”, we handle:
- Offer negotiation (salary, equity, benefits)
- Background verification
- Contract drafting and onboarding schedule
Typical time from first interview to offer: 2 days.
Onboarding & 90‑Day Guarantee
The developer joins your team. We stay involved for 90 days:
- Weekly check‑ins with you and the new hire
- If the candidate leaves or is underperforming, we replace them at no cost
- We also offer free cultural assimilation tips and team integration support
Result: 98% retention rate after 6 months.
