Work with us
One client. Long engagements.
Paid properly.
We place remote professionals with companies in the US and Canada. Not task marketplaces, not bidding against forty other people for a two-week job. One company, ongoing work, and a contract that says what happens when things go wrong.
The work
One company, not forty tasks
What an engagement through us actually looks like.
You are placed with one company and you work with them and no one else, around forty hours a week. Engagements are open-ended rather than project-length, and the ones that go well run for years.
You keep control of how you work. You agree an overlap window with the client for meetings and collaboration, and inside that you manage your own pattern. Nobody is tracking your keystrokes or asking where you were at 2pm.
We handle the contract, the invoicing and the payments. You deal with the work.
The terms
What you get
Six things, and the first one is the one nobody else will put in writing.
Article 7.6 of the contractor agreement
You are paid for work you have done, whether or not the client has paid us.
What we owe you does not depend on what they owe us. If an engagement gets suspended because a client has not paid, you are paid in full for everything up to that point.
Paid in USD
Twice a month, within three business days of each period ending.
A rate that holds.
A fixed monthly fee agreed up front, not a bid you keep having to defend.
One client.
No juggling five accounts to make a month work.
A real contract.
What you are owed, what happens if an engagement pauses, how it ends, and the notice on both sides.
Somebody in the middle.
If a client becomes difficult, that is our problem to handle, not yours to absorb.
The honest part
What this is not
Read this before you apply, not after.
- 01
Not employment.
You are an independent contractor. No salary, no benefits, no paid leave or holidays.
- 02
You handle your own taxes
And any obligations where you live. We do not withhold anything.
- 03
You provide your own equipment
And internet connection.
- 04
No guaranteed volume.
An engagement can end with thirty days notice, from either side.
- 05
You cannot take a client direct.
Going around us breaches the agreement, and there are consequences written into it. Ask us instead, because there is usually a way to structure what you want.
The process
Seven steps, and a person at every one
From applying to your first day.
- 01
Apply.
Tell us what you do, your experience, and a link to your work.
- 02
Assessment.
A structured online assessment built for your role. The practical work, and how you handle a problem with pieces missing. Everyone takes the same one.
- 03
Review.
A person reads every submission, not only the ones that scored well.
- 04
Screening call.
A conversation about your experience, your availability, and what you actually want.
- 05
We present you.
If a role matches, the client sees your profile with your skills, availability and rate.
- 06
You interview with them.
They decide, and so do you.
- 07
Kickoff and start.
A call with you, the client and us before day one.
What we look for
Four things, and only one is about skill
The technical bar is the easy part to clear.
What we look for
- 01
Capability you can evidence.
Not a list of technologies on a CV. Work we can look at, or reasoning we can follow.
- 02
Enough English to disagree with someone.
Not to pass a test. To explain why an approach is wrong and be understood the first time.
- 03
The judgment to raise a problem early.
Almost every engagement that fails did so quietly. The person who says “this is not going to work” in week one is worth more than the person who says nothing until month three.
- 04
Reliability, which means telling us when things change.
Not that nothing ever goes wrong. That we hear about it from you rather than from the client.
We are not looking for people who will accept less than they are worth. That arrangement ends in month four and helps nobody.
FAQ
Frequent questions
What people ask before applying.
Sometimes. We source against live client briefs, so what is open changes. We keep applications on file and contact people when their field comes up.
It depends on the role, your level, and what the engagement needs. We tell you the exact monthly figure before you interview with any client, and you decide then.
Contractually yes, as long as it does not get in the way of the engagement you have taken on. In practice a forty-hour commitment does not leave much room.
Not necessarily. You agree an overlap window before the engagement starts, and it varies by client. Some roles need several hours of live overlap and some need almost none.
You hear about it from us, in writing, with specifics, and you get ten business days to address it. Nobody gets dropped over a vague complaint.
Twelve months, and you can ask to be removed at any time.
No. Never. We are paid by the client.
Tell us what you do
There may not be a matching role today. We keep a pool and we come back to people when something opens. It takes a few minutes and we will not chase you with anything you did not ask for.
