What Developers & Employers Say About Us

Our Vetting Process

  • We test.
  • We interview.
  • We reject the ones who can’t code “Hello, World.”

Every developer we send your way has passed our sanity checks, technical, cultural, and caffeine-related.

We don’t do guesswork. We do great work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we do both. Whether you’re scaling fast with short-term project needs or looking for long-term team members, we’ve got you covered with top-tier contract and permanent candidates.

We’re specialists in software development and engineering roles. Think Java, C#, Python, React, NodeJS, DevOps, Data Engineering, Cloud Architects, that’s our wheelhouse.

We don’t do generic recruitment. We know software dev inside out, and we’ve built long-standing relationships with developers, many of whom we’ve placed multiple times throughout their careers. Our speed, accuracy, and technical depth set us apart.

Yes. Our contract division is built for exactly that. We have developers who are pre-vetted, reference-checked, and available to onboard immediately.

Beyond skills, we take time to understand your team dynamics, leadership style, tech stack, and ways of working. We’ll never throw a CV at you that doesn’t tick both the technical and human boxes.

We’re flexible. For perm placements, we charge a once-off % of annual CTC. For contract resources, it’s a monthly fee. We’ll tailor the structure to fit your budget and hiring volumes.

Absolutely. We offer a guaranteed replacement period on all permanent hires. If things don’t work out, we’ll find a replacement, no extra fee.

Yes, especially now, given the weak rand. Many global businesses are building remote SA teams, and we’re helping them do it quickly and efficiently.

Not yet, but we have worked with many clients before formal PSL approval to prove our value first. We’re quick to align with your processes and can supply talent on a trial or ad-hoc basis while the PSL Formalities are in motion.

Absolutely. We maintain up-to-date salary and rate benchmarks across a range of technical stacks, seniority levels, and engagement types. This helps you position your offers competitively and avoid delays
