- 02You hear within three daysWith the rate attached, if we have something close.
- 03And if we do not, we say soRather than leaving you waiting on a maybe.
- 04Never submitted blindlyYour profile goes nowhere without approval for that specific role.
Five commitments, written into your contract.
Contract work has a reputation problem. These are specific, checkable things — not a statement of values.
Rate transparency
You will know the bill rate range and your pay rate before you interview. We never discover your number first and price backwards from it.
Paid correctly, on time
Weekly payroll, timesheets handled by us, and an escalation path that reaches a person rather than a portal.
A real briefing
Team structure, the actual technical environment, why the role is open, and what the hiring manager is nervous about.
Statutory cover
Health insurance, retirement contributions, paid leave and workers compensation on every contract engagement.
Work that leads somewhere
68% of our contract-to-hire placements convert, and contractors regularly move onto our own delivery bench.
From people we placed.
Published with permission, names shortened at their request. We asked for what we got wrong as well.
They told me the bill rate in the first call. I had spoken to four agencies that month and not one of them would do that. It changed how much I trusted everything else they said.
The brief before my interview covered the team structure, why the role was open, and what the hiring manager was worried about. I walked in prepared rather than guessing.
Three months in, the engagement was not what had been described. I said so and they had it corrected within a fortnight rather than telling me to be patient.
My recruiter had actually run Kubernetes in production. The screening call was a technical conversation, not someone reading keywords off my CV back to me.
I was between contracts for six weeks and they checked in without pushing me at roles that did not fit. That restraint is rarer than it should be.
Written for the person taking the role.

How to compare a contract rate against a salary properly
Gross hourly looks larger than it is. A working method for converting a rate into a comparable annual figure — including the costs contractors routinely forget.
The four questions that tell you what a team is actually like
Asking about culture gets you a rehearsed answer. These four get you a real one — and the hesitation before each reply tells you as much as the answer.
When specialising stops paying and breadth starts to
Deep specialisation commands a premium until it does not. How to read the point in your own market where the curve turns — before it turns.
