/03WHY CORE TALENT
Curated, not catalogued.
Most IT staffing firms treat hiring like a volume game. We don’t. Every placement is evaluated on technical depth and behavioral fit — because the wrong hire costs 3× more than the right one.
DISC + STAR rigor
Every candidate ships with a behavioral profile and a structured STAR report. You see how they think, not just what they know.
LATAM premium

Zero risk, all-in
Flexible 30-day notice. Full payroll, taxes, and local compliance. We replace at no cost. Replacement triggered in 4% of placements.
/04ENGAGEMENT MODELS
Two engagement models. One standard of vetting.
/MODEL A · STAFF AUGMENTATION
Embedded engineer, monthly allocation.
Dedicated engineer embedded in your team. You manage the work; we handle hiring, payroll, compliance, and retention.
- Continuous monthly allocation
- 25–40% transparent markup
- Full local compliance (CLT or contractor per country)
- Monthly performance review
/MODEL B · TALENT-AS-A-SERVICE
Allocate now, hire direct later.
You pay the engineer’s monthly hours from day one — a standard allocation. After 3–6 months working together, if you want them on your own payroll, convert to a direct hire with a predictable fee.
- Monthly hours billed from day one
- Evaluate the fit over 3–6 months of real work
- Option to internalize — convert to a direct hire
- 15–20% conversion fee, only when you hire direct
