The problem

A growing SaaS company needed senior data engineers.

£What it was costing them

Delayed product work and an engineering budget stretched by hiring costs.

Hiring locally took months and cost more than the budget allowed.

The existing workflow

How the work was done, and where it broke.

Local hiring took months.

Senior engineers cost more than the budget.

The roadmap slipped while roles stayed open.

The solution

The client chooses. Every engineer is interviewed and approved by the client.
