Engineers on assignment · consulting on a daily rate

A sharp technical reinforcement, for the length of a mission.

TP5Questions

What we are asked the most.

How is this different from a classic engineering services firm?
We do not place whoever happens to be available on our bench. We headhunt the expert matching your exact need, then vet their expertise by video interview before proposing them. It takes slightly longer than an immediate placement; the relevance is in another league.
Can we hire the consultant at the end of the mission?
Yes, this is discussed case by case. Moving to a permanent contract then falls under our permanent recruitment service, with the corresponding fees.
Does the consultant work on-site or remotely?
Both are possible and agreed at the start. In embedded engineering, being on-site is often necessary to access test equipment and debugging tools.
