Risk-free start. Transparency. Flexibility. From handshake
to performance.

Building a tech team shouldn't feel like you're flying blind. We've mapped out exactly what happens when, who does what, and how we measure success together.

No fluff, just a proven playbook that actually works.

The reality check

Most companies dive into team augmentation, hoping for the best. We've learned that hope isn't a strategy.

After building 300+ cross-border teams since 2007, we know exactly what works and what doesn't. Our process is battle-tested, with a 96% trial success rate and 95.7% retention rate to prove it.
