The Problem

You don't have a hiring
problem. You have a time problem.

The average seed-stage founder spends 6–8 weeks finding a senior engineer. That's 6–8 weeks of runway burning while your roadmap sits still.

6–8
weeks

Average time a seed-stage founder spends hiring a senior engineer through traditional channels.

With Staffd: 7 days.

The Process

Three steps.
Seven days. Done.

No recruiter middlemen. No CV piles. One call to tell us your stack and what needs to ship, a match from our vetted bench within 48 hours, and your engineer is in your Slack this week. If none of them click, we go back and find more — no pressure, no invoice.

Real Questions

Things founders ask us
before they hire.

"I've been burned by offshore developers before."
So have we. That's literally why we built Staffd.

The problem isn't Pakistani talent — it's the process. Upwork dumps 500 profiles on you and makes you do all the work. We do the opposite. We vet before you see them, match on your stack specifically, and guarantee the fit. The risk is ours.
"What about time zones? Pakistan is far."
Our engineers work a flexible schedule that includes 4–6 hours of overlap with US East Coast business hours as standard. For async-first teams — which is most seed-stage startups — this is a non-issue. We confirm overlap requirements on the intake call.
"How do I know they can actually communicate?"
Stage 2 of our vetting is entirely dedicated to this. It's a 45-minute live call focused on English fluency, async written communication, and the ability to explain technical decisions clearly. More engineers fail on this than on the coding test.
"Are there long-term contracts or lock-ins?"
No minimum commitment. You hire on a rolling monthly basis. Scale up, scale down, or end the engagement — with 2 weeks notice. We're confident enough in our engineers that we don't need contracts to keep you.
Ready?

Your next engineer is already vetted.

The only question is how long you want to wait before they're in your codebase.
