Questions about hiring models
How is pricing agreed?
Every engagement is priced to the role, seniority and scope. Tell us what you need and we'll agree terms with you directly, usually after a short call.
Can I switch models later?
Yes. For example, a contractor can become a permanent hire, or one engineer can grow into a dedicated team.
How do free candidate replacements work?
If a hire or contractor isn't the right fit during the replacement period, we find a replacement at no extra cost. The period is written into your agreement.
