How hiring works

From first call to first commit in days

A structured path designed to de-risk the decision — you approve every step.

01

Share your requirements

Tell us the role, tech stack, seniority, and timeline. A 30-minute call is usually enough to scope the right profile.

02

Get matched in 48 hours

We hand-pick pre-vetted engineers from our bench and send you profiles — no trawling through job boards.

03

Interview & validate

Run your own technical interview or a short paid trial task. You approve every person before they join.

04

Start risk-free

Onboard in days with a 2-week no-risk trial. If it isn't a fit, you don't pay for the trial and we re-match.

05

Scale up or down

Add or release developers on monthly cycles as your roadmap changes. No long lock-ins, no rehiring overhead.

Hiring FAQ

The questions every client asks first

Are these freelancers or full-time employees?

Full-time Sparken Technologies engineers. They work exclusively on your project for the duration of the engagement, with the accountability and continuity that freelancers can't offer.

What's the minimum engagement?

Hourly hiring has no minimum. Monthly dedicated engagements typically start at one month, with lower rates for 6- and 12-month commitments.

How fast can a developer start?

We share matched profiles within 48 hours of understanding your needs, and approved developers usually onboard within a few days.

Is there a trial period?

Yes — a 2-week no-risk trial. If the developer isn't the right fit, you don't pay for the trial and we re-match at no cost.

What if a developer leaves or underperforms?

We provide a replacement within 48 hours, including a structured handover of sprint items, architecture, and open decisions so momentum isn't lost.

Who manages the developers day to day?

With Hourly and Team Extension you direct the work inside your own process. With Monthly Dedicated you can manage them directly or let our delivery lead run the engagement — your call.

How do you handle time zones?

We agree fixed overlap hours up front so there's real-time collaboration during your working day, backed by clear written updates and standups.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do — completely. All intellectual property is assigned to you, and every engagement is covered by an NDA.
