Before you start.

Is this the full 40-profile shortlist?

No. The audit is a grading matrix and a sample batch for one vacancy. A full new-role search starts at $4,500; ML/LLM and ML lead searches start at $6,000.

How long does the audit take?

We agree the delivery date and batch size with you before payment. The published 5-7 day turnaround applies to a full new-role shortlist.

Do I have to buy a full search?

You can assess the audit first. If you continue, the $499 fee is credited in full toward the search.

Which roles do you cover?

Technical roles including backend engineering, DevOps, data science and ML/LLM. We review your vacancy before confirming fit.
