The problem you're solving right now

You have a backlog that grows faster than your team. Hiring takes months. Your last agency sent you a "senior" engineer who needed hand-holding by week two. You don't need a vendor. You need people who can read the codebase, join standup, and ship - without you explaining what a pull request is. That's what we do. One consultant or five. Your tools, your rituals, your repo.

What we are (and hat we're not)

We are

A talent network with 400+ consultants across 14 European countries. An extension of your team - your standup, your Jira, your CI pipeline. A sourcing partner that vets rigorously so you don't have to. Time-and-materials engagement - you pay for real work, not risk buffers.

We are not

An agency that picks your stack or owns your architecture. A project delivery shop that holds your codebase. A recruiter charging placement fees. A cheapest-option provider - we're priced at senior Oslo market rates [VERIFY]. You define the requirements. We find the exact match.

How it works

From first call to senior engineer in your standup - here is every step between.

1. Scoping call

30 min, no slides. You tell us the role, stack, seniority, team dynamics. We tell you honestly if we can deliver - we turn down roughly 1 in 4 requests.

2. Candidate shortlist

Typically within 5-7 business days. Every candidate has already passed technical assessment, reference checks, and a communication screen.

3. Your interview, your decision

You interview the candidates. You decide. We never send people you haven't approved.

4. Embedded in your team

Median time to first commit: 11 days [VERIFY]. Your tools. Your standups. Our consultant works as part of your team, not alongside it.

5. Ongoing quality

Every Friday, each consultant sends a short note: what they did, what's blocked, what they'll do next week. Not a timesheet. A note.

What we source

We're not limited to a fixed roster. Our network covers most modern stacks, and we source specifically for your requirements.

Python, Java, C#/.NET, Go, Kotlin, Clojure, Node.js, Rust

When this works best

Four situations where the embedded consultant model outperforms every alternative.

Capacity spikes

A product launch, a compliance deadline, a new feature stream - you need 2-3 senior engineers for 6-12 months, not forever.

Competency gaps

Your team is strong in backend but weak in data engineering. Or you need a DevOps specialist your market doesn't have.

Scaling without hiring

You want to increase output without the overhead, timeline, and risk of permanent hires. Our consultants cost roughly what a senior in-house engineer costs in Oslo - minus the overhead. [VERIFY rate benchmark]

Post-acquisition integration

New ownership, new platform goals, same team. You need extra hands to execute while the core team absorbs the change.

What to expect in your first 30 days

73% of our engagements extend beyond the original end date. Not because we lock people in - because teams don't want to let them go.

Frustrating. Your consultant will ask too many questions. Your team will feel slowed down. This is correct.
