Yes. You can bring on engineers for part-time engagements (10-20 hours/week) or full-time roles (40+ hours/week). Many companies start with part-time and scale up as projects grow.
Our three-part screening includes an AI Zoom Interviewer for behavioral assessment, an AI Technical Screener that evaluates how candidates build with AI tools, and LinkedIn analysis to verify elite work history and credentials. We test how engineers actually ship, not how they memorize algorithms.
We specialize in software engineering talent: full-stack, frontend, backend, DevOps, and ML/AI engineers. If you need developers who can build and ship with modern AI tools, we have them.
We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. If an engineer doesn't meet your expectations, we will find a replacement at no additional cost based on your feedback.
Our platform runs through IDE extensions for VS Code and Cursor.
