How we charge
We are paid when you hire, not before. There is no retainer, no subscription and no charge for shortlists you do not use.

How the engagement is structured
Engineers are employed by our partner network, not by us. We introduce, assess and manage the process; the employment relationship sits with the partner or with you, depending on the model you choose. That keeps the arrangement simple and means you are not paying a margin on someone else's payroll.
