How an engagement runs

Four steps, no black box

STEP 1

Define the profile

Role, level, must-haves, and what success looks like in the first 90 days.

STEP 2

We find people who may fit

We tell people who may fit about the role. Each person decides for themselves whether to apply.

STEP 3

Candidates apply to you

Interested candidates apply to you directly, with their own résumé and their own work. We do not send you assessments, scores, rankings or reports about candidates: your team runs its own interviews and makes its own decisions.

STEP 4

Offer & onboarding

We support the close and the first weeks — contract or permanent, US or global.

Recruiting fees are paid by the hiring business. Candidates never pay to be introduced or placed, and buying coaching gives no priority. Agreements, invoicing, and payment terms are confirmed in writing with the hiring business before any engagement begins.

What is the TechMonster Talent Network?

An optional, private list for TechMonster account holders who want to be considered for roles, at techmonster.dev/talent-network. Members build a small profile from their own public GitHub work; TechMonster advisors may post a short role summary to a member's page, and the member applies themselves. Nothing about a member is ever sent to a hiring business, it is never public, joining is free and it promises nothing.
