Hire People Who Can Actually Do the Job
Resumes lie; work samples don't. Every candidate we present has passed hands-on evaluation by our own senior developers, designers and marketers — so your interviews start at the shortlist, not the pile.
The Wrong Hire Costs More Than Their Salary
Generic agencies match keywords and forward PDFs. The 'senior developer' who can't ship. The designer with borrowed portfolio pieces. The marketer who's never touched a live budget. Each miss burns months of runway and your team's patience.
The cost of doing nothing:
- ❌
Interview theater: Polished talkers sail through process-heavy loops while doers get filtered out
- ❌
Six-month discovery: You find out what someone can't do long after the offer is signed
- ❌
Translator tax: Recruiters who've never done the work can't judge it — so neither can their shortlists
- ❌
Slow restarts: Every failed hire pushes your roadmap back months
Vetting Run by People Who Do the Work
Our screening is conducted by our own active practitioners. Developers review real code. Design directors audit real deliverables. Marketers pressure-test real campaign thinking. Nobody advances on vocabulary.
- ✅
Hands-on assessments: Candidates complete role-realistic work — not whiteboard trivia
- ✅
Practitioner judgment: Evaluations come from seniors currently doing the job, with written notes you receive
- ✅
Both employment modes: Contractors and full-time hires, sourced through the same rigor
- ✅
Onboarding built in: We help set up environments, access and communication so day one is productive

Frequently Asked Questions
Find direct, clear answers about this service and our execution model.
How are you different from a recruiting agency?
Screening is done by working senior practitioners — real code reviews, real portfolio audits, real campaign critiques — not HR staff matching keywords. You get fewer candidates, each one pre-proven, with written notes explaining exactly what they demonstrated.
What does it cost?
A placement fee quoted per role, agreed in writing before the search starts. No retainers to browse, no charges until you hire someone we presented.
Can you source contractors as well as full-time?
Yes. Both go through identical hands-on vetting; the difference is just engagement structure, which we set up alongside you.
What if a hire doesn't work out?
Rigorous vetting makes misses rare, but nothing eliminates risk. We agree terms transparently in the placement agreement before any search begins — no fine print discovered later.
