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. Just the right engineer in your Slack, this week.

1
Day 0 — 30 minutes
Tell us what you need
One call. You tell us your stack, your stage, what needs to ship, and what kind of person you want to work with. We ask real questions — not checkbox questions. The more honest you are about your actual problems, the better the match.
2
Day 1–2 — 48 hours
We match you from our vetted bench
We go into our pre-vetted pool and pull the 2–3 engineers who fit your exact requirements. You get profiles, GitHub links, and a recorded technical assessment — not a CV pile. You're choosing from people we've already verified can do the job.
3
Day 3–7
One call. You decide. They start.
One intro call per engineer — 45 minutes. You ask the technical questions you care about. You make the call. If you say yes, they're in your Slack the same week. If none of them are right, we go back and find more. No pressure, no pitch.

The Filter

We reject 97% of applicants.
Here's exactly why.

"Pre-vetted" means nothing without proof. Here's the four-stage process every engineer on our bench has survived.

Stage 1
CV + GitHub Audit
Manual review of every application. CV, GitHub commit history, live projects, LinkedIn. If we can't see real code they've shipped in a production environment, they don't move forward. No exceptions.
✓ 30% pass rate
Stage 2
Communication Interview
45-minute live call focused entirely on English fluency and communication quality. Can they explain a technical decision clearly? Run a standup? Push back on a bad idea professionally? This kills more candidates than the coding test.
✓ 40% of Stage 1
Stage 3
Technical Assessment
Stack-specific written test. Not LeetCode puzzles — real-world scenarios your engineers will actually face. "Here's a broken React component. Fix it and explain your reasoning." Scored against a rubric by our senior engineers.
✓ 50% of Stage 2
Stage 4
Live Coding Interview
60 minutes, live, with a senior engineer. Build something from scratch under real conditions. We're watching how they think when stuck, not just whether they get to the right answer. Communication during the build is scored equally to the output.

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.
