01

Understand The Brief.

Before we dive into sourcing talent, we start by truly understanding your needs. We take the time to listen, ask the right questions, and get a clear picture of your technical requirements, team dynamics, and long-term goals. Whether it's a niche engineering role or a cross-functional tech position, we ensure we're aligned with your expectations from the start. This foundational step helps us deliver not just candidates—but the right candidates.

03

Confirm The Deliverables.

With the plan in place, we clarify exactly what you can expect from us — and when. This includes the number of candidates, reporting frequency, key milestones, and any additional support we’ll provide along the way. Transparency is key, so we make sure all deliverables are agreed upon and documented before we get started.

05

Screening & Selection.

We don’t just match resumes to job descriptions — we dig deeper. Our rigorous screening process assesses technical skills, cultural fit, and role alignment through structured interviews, assessments, and detailed evaluations. Only the most qualified and relevant candidates make it through, so your team spends time meeting top-tier talent — not sifting through noise.

This ensures alignment, sets expectations, and keeps everyone on the same page as we move forward with purpose and precision.

04

Usability testing.

We put real users at the center of the experience. Through hands-on testing, we evaluate how intuitive and effective your product or service truly is.
