Calibration
A 30-minute call with one of our engineering partners to map your stack, team shape, and the actual problem you need solved. We leave with a brief — not a job description.
- →Stack & seniority mapping
- →Team culture read
- →Single-page role brief
Sourcing & vetting
Our 6-stage screening runs in parallel with your calibration. Application review, deep technical exam, take-home, two live system-design rounds, and a cultural calibration.
- →99.4% rejection rate
- →Engineers vetted by engineers
- →Full recordings shared
The single match
We send one candidate, not a list. Most clients hire on first introduction. If we miss, we re-match within 72 hours at no cost.
- →One name, not a shortlist
- →Loom intro + full file
- →Re-match guarantee
Embedded & operational
Hardware ships, benefits enroll, contracts execute, and the engineer appears in your Heystaff platform as active staff — ready to push code.
- →Hardware shipped globally
- →Benefits + 401k enrolled
- →Live in the platform
Process questions.
What if the first engineer isn't a fit?
+
We re-match within 72 hours at no additional cost. Most clients keep their first match — the calibration call is designed to make sure of it.
Do you do trial periods?
+
Every engagement starts with a 30-day window in which you can swap or end the engagement without notice. After that, standard 30-day termination applies.
Who runs the technical screening?
+
Working senior engineers on our staff — never external recruiters. Every interview is recorded and shared.
How quickly can we start?
+
From signed brief to embedded engineer averages 14 days. Urgent placements can compress to 7 with same-week calibration.
