The role that’s been open too long
Fill it in your satellite office, from a shortlist that has already passed a technical assessment.
- The SoTalented Office Guarantee
- Works in your time zone
- $0 until you hire
Sound familiar.
- The role has been open since spring.
- Two of your engineers are doing it on top of their own work.
- The candidates you liked took other offers.
For example
Say a backend role has been open for months. Two engineers are covering it on top of their own work, and both are starting to show it.
Fill it in your satellite office. We source and screen, every candidate passes a technical assessment and an English and time zone check, and you interview a shortlist instead of a pile. The hire can be working about 3 weeks from a signed engagement.
Your two engineers go back to their own work.
What you’d set up.
Every seat is dedicated to your company and never shared. Prices are per person, per month, all-inclusive, and differ by level.
