A short process, run by people who answer the phone.
No portals, no bench of bodies, no mystery. Here's exactly what happens from the first call to a placement that sticks.
- 01
We learn what you actually need
A real conversation, not a form.
We start with a call to understand the work — the stack, the team, the timezone you can live with, and the kind of person who tends to do well where you are. Half of getting a placement right is getting the brief right. The other half is being honest when we're not the right fit for it.
- 02
We go find the right people
Sourced globally, screened properly.
We pull from a network we've built over years across 21 countries, plus fresh sourcing for anything specialized. Every candidate goes through a technical screen, a work-sample or live problem in their actual discipline, and reference checks. Most never make it to your inbox — that's the point.
- 03
You meet a short list
Two to four people, not twenty.
You interview a small, hand-picked set — usually within one to two weeks of the kickoff call. We give you notes on each person, including the honest trade-offs. You make the call. If none of them feel right, we go back out; we'd rather restart than push someone who's a maybe.
- 04
We help them land
The first month is the one that matters.
We handle contracts, payments, and compliance across borders so you don't have to think about it. We check in during onboarding — with you and with them — and step in early if anything feels off. A good first month is the difference between a hire and a regret.
- 05
We stick around
We're on the hook for it working.
We stay in touch after the honeymoon period. If something stops working, we'd rather hear it early and fix it — reset expectations, adjust scope, or replace the fit if it comes to that. Most of our growth comes from clients asking for a second goblin, which only happens if the first one worked out.
What you can hold us to.
These aren't fine print. They're the terms we'd want if we were the ones hiring.
A real trial period
The first two weeks of any placement are risk-free. If it isn't clicking, you don't pay for them, and we find someone else.
Timezone you can work with
We won't place someone twelve hours out of sync and call it collaboration. We match for overlap that actually lets your team work together.
No lock-in
Month-to-month on every engagement. We keep your business by being worth keeping, not by burying you in a contract.
Ready to start the first call?
One short call. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help — and if we can, you'll meet a hand-picked person or two within a couple of weeks.
