Hiring · for your own team
Hiring as a Service. Hire testers who think.
Hiring a good test engineer is hard when nobody on the panel is a tester. Our engineers help you shape the role for your context, find the right candidates and assist with the testing part of the interview, and then tell you honestly who we would hire and why.
What you get
- A role and job description that fit your context
- A shortlist from all the applicants
- Help with the testing part of the interview
- A report on the candidates
- An honest recommendation on who to hire
For teams that want their own testers, and want to get the hire right
A test engineer shapes how your team thinks about quality for years, so a wrong hire costs far more than the time it takes to fill the role. If you are hiring testers but don't have anyone who can judge their testing skills, we sit on your side of the table and bring the experience of people who do this work every day.
- Teams hiring their first tester
- Hiring managers who aren't testers themselves
- Engineering leaders growing a test or QA function
- Teams with a hiring plan from a quality audit
From the job description to the decision
You can use all four parts or only the ones you need. In every part, the decision stays with you.
The role, for your context
We start with what your product, team and way of working actually need, and write a job description that attracts the people who can do it rather than a list of every tool on the market.
Selecting the candidates
We go through the applications with you and pick out the people worth meeting, so your team spends its interview time on the strongest candidates.
The testing interview
Our engineers assist with the testing part of the interview, focusing on how candidates think through a real testing problem rather than which tools they can name, because that is what decides how they will work in your team.
Assessment and recommendation
After the interviews you get a report on the candidates and our honest view on who we would hire and why, so the decision is yours but you make it on solid ground.
We can't be in every team, but we can help you build your own
We will never change the testing world with our own engineers alone, whether we are ten or a hundred, but we can help our clients find and keep good, context-driven test engineers. We are not a recruitment agency and have no candidates of our own to place, so our only interest is that you hire the right person.
Testers judging testers
Engineers who test for a living take part in the interview, so they see the difference between someone who knows the vocabulary and someone who can do the work.
Built around your context
The right tester for a regulated bank is not the right tester for a fast-moving startup, so we start from your product and team, not from a standard profile.
An honest recommendation
We tell you what we saw in the candidates, including the doubts, so you can decide with your eyes open.
From first call to recommendation
We fit into your own hiring process rather than replacing it, and agree at the start which parts you want us to take on.
