Prove the fit
before anyone commits.
Work with an engineer on contract first. Convert to a full-time hire when you’re sure.
What
you get.
- A trial period of 3–6 months with a real engineer on real work
- A clear, agreed path to conversion
- No guessing from interviews alone: you see how they work, communicate and deliver
How it
works.
- 01
Vet
We source and vet candidates as in staff augmentation.
- 02
Contract
The engineer starts on contract with you.
- 03
Decide
At the end of the trial, you decide.
- 04
Convert
If you convert, they move onto your payroll, or a compliant setup we arrange.
Best
for.
- Roles where culture and ownership matter as much as skills
- Founders making their first key hires
- Teams that have been burned by a bad full-time hire
Might not be the right fit if you need someone for a short, defined burst. Staff Augmentation is simpler. See Staff Augmentation →
Conversion
terms.
- A one-time conversion fee, agreed in writing before the trial starts
