Engagement options:Companies can work with individual engineers, dedicated offshore teams, or arrange direct hires. A 30-day trial period applies to all placements, with a full refund if the match doesn't work out.

Key numbers:

• $80M+ in hiring costs saved across the client base
• 40–60% cost savings on engineering projects
• 97% of clients return for a second engagement
