Our Process
How We Work
(Because "Our Process" sounds too corporate, right?)
The Meet-Cute
First things first, we sit down for a proper chat (virtual or otherwise). We'll dig deep into your tech needs, company culture, and what keeps you up at night (besides that last cup of coffee). Unlike those recruiters who think Python is just a snake, we actually speak your language.
The Perfect Match-Making
Remember how picky that one friend is about their dating apps? We're worse. Our screening process makes airport security look like a breeze. We'll handpick candidates who aren't just technically brilliant but also match your company's vibe. No awkward first dates here.
The Dream Team Assembly
Once we've found your perfect tech matches, we handle all the boring stuff:
- Contract negotiations (yawn, but necessary)
- Employment admin (double yawn)
- Setup and onboarding (now we're talking!)
- Team integration (where the magic happens)
The Support System
We don't just throw your new team into the deep end and wave goodbye. We provide:
- Ongoing management support
- Regular check-ins and feedback loops
- Technical mentorship when needed
- A support system that would make your mom proud
The Scaling Dance
Need to scale up faster than a startup's coffee consumption? Or scale down because things got a bit too exciting? We've got you covered. Our flexibility isn't just about touching our toes – it's about adapting to your needs at startup speed.
The Long-Term Partnership
This isn't a one-and-done deal. We're in it for the long haul, providing:
- Regular performance reviews
- Team optimization suggestions
- Strategic tech guidance
- Continuous improvement (because who doesn't love a good glow-up?)
