Software engineering recruitment.

Our approach to Software Engineering hiring
What makes this market hard
Strong engineers are rarely applying for jobs. Stack labels hide large differences in depth, and start-up versus scale-up experience matters more than titles suggest.
How we approach it
We agree with the hiring manager what "senior" means for this team, then test for it in screening: the systems a candidate owned, the trade-offs they made and how they work with others.
Questions
Frequently asked
Other specialisms:
Do you run coding tests?
We screen technical depth in conversation and can coordinate your own coding or system-design assessments.
Do you hire contract engineers?
Yes, for project work or to cover a gap while a permanent search runs. See Hiring Models.
Can you build a whole engineering team?
Yes. We help you sequence the hires, usually leads first, so each one makes the next easier to close.
