Frequently asked.
The questions we get most before kicking off talent sourcing sprint engagements.
Which roles do you source for?
Engineering, design, AI/ML, and product roles. We don't source executives or non-tech roles.
Do you guarantee a hire?
No — and we won't pretend to. The gig is about quality of shortlist, not a guaranteed outcome.
Can you run the full interview loop?
Not in this gig. We can advise on structure and sit in if needed; the deeper engagement is the Talent Acquisition Retainer.
How do you screen?
Structured technical screen tailored to the role — pair-programming, system design, or take-home depending on what fits.
Do you do background checks?
References, yes, on request. Formal background checks are arranged through your provider.
