01
Cost.
You need a developer, but a local hire means a six-figure commitment before you know whether the role even works.
Hire the person.
Skip the hiring.
We source, vet and contract remote professionals for US and Canadian companies, with the overlap hours agreed before anyone starts. You approve every candidate. If a placement does not work out, we replace them free, for as long as the engagement runs.
- To deliver a replacement
- Per week, dedicated to you alone
- Per month, all in
Three problems
Why companies call us
Three problems, and they usually turn up together.
02
Speed.
You have been hiring for two months. You have seen forty resumes and interviewed six people, and you are no closer.
03
Risk.
You tried hiring internationally on a freelance platform. Someone disappeared mid-project, and you are not doing that again.

Five steps
How a placement goes
Five steps, and nobody starts without your approval.
- 01
You tell us the role.
Scope, level, what good looks like, and the hours you need someone reachable. That last one shapes where we look.
- 02
We source and vet.
Skills assessment, reference check, English evaluation. You see two or three profiles, not forty.
- 03
You interview and choose.
Nobody starts without your approval.
- 04
We handle the contract.
Wyoming-governed agreement, IP assigned to you, confidentiality signed before day one.
- 05
We stay involved.
A kickoff call, a check-in at week two, then reviews at month one, month three, and quarterly after that. One named contact throughout, and less contact if you prefer it.
From the founder
We are new.
Here is our proof.
No logos to show you, so here is something more useful.
Aptcruit is early. We do not have a decade of placements or a page of client logos, and pretending otherwise would be the fastest way to lose your trust.
What we can show you is this. The site you are reading was designed and built by the kind of professional we source, and so was the platform we run the business on. Every technical candidate is vetted by a working senior engineer, not a recruiter matching keywords on a resume.
Being early also means you deal with me directly. Not an account manager carrying sixty accounts.
I vet the technical candidates, I run the kickoff call, and I am the person you call when something goes wrong. That will not be true forever. It is true now, and it is better than what a larger agency gives you at this price.
The terms
What is in the contract
Not the pitch. The terms you would sign.
Every staffing company promises to fix a bad placement. Almost none of them say when.

Pricing
What it costs
One monthly fee per person. No setup fee, no placement fee, no percentage.
Back office and data entry roles start at $1,040 a month. A virtual assistant starts at $1,200. A software developer starts at $1,760, and a senior developer is $3,360. That is the whole fee. It covers the contractor’s compensation, our sourcing and vetting, contract management, and the account management that runs for the life of the engagement.
For comparison, the US median software developer salary is $133,080 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A senior developer through us is around 70 percent less, before the cost of benefits, equipment and recruiting.
Where you land inside a role depends on level and scope, which we work out on the call.

FAQ
Frequent questions
The things people ask before the first call.
Every candidate goes through a skills assessment, a reference check, and an English evaluation before you see them. Technical candidates are assessed by a working senior engineer. You interview and approve anyone before they start.
No. You contract with Aptcruit for a service. We contract separately with the professional. There is no employment or co-employment relationship between you and them, which is what keeps you clear of classification exposure. It is the standard structure for staffing companies, and it is written plainly in the agreement.
We replace them at no cost, at any point in the engagement. Acknowledged in two business days, replacement delivered within fourteen.
It depends on the role. Before we start sourcing we agree what the job needs, including the hours you want overlap on, and we look where the strongest candidates for that particular job are. You see each candidate’s location, time zone and available overlap before you interview them.
Roughly forty hours a week, dedicated to you and no other client. You agree an overlap window before the engagement starts and it goes into the Service Schedule. In most engagements that is four hours or more with your working day. Within it, they manage their own working pattern, which is what keeps the contractor relationship correctly classified.
A single monthly fee, billed in two equal installments, paid in advance. The first is due before work starts. No setup fees and no placement fees.
Talk to us. There are terms in the agreement covering direct engagement, and there is usually a way to structure it.
Tell us what you need
Twenty minutes, and an honest answer either way.
A twenty minute call. You describe the role, we tell you what it costs, who we would look for, and how long it would take. If we are not the right fit for it, we will say so.
