What administrative staffing takes off your plate
Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.
Every engineering role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.
Exceptional talent from Latin America, the Philippines, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Canada, from $12/hr. One monthly fee, all-inclusive: sourcing, vetting, payroll, compliance, and ongoing support.
Explore global staffing →Full-time professionals across the United States, employed directly by you. One placement fee: from 12.5% of first-year salary, with the $995 retainer credited against it. Prefer nothing upfront? From 15%, paid only when you hire. Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of salary for the same search.

When the roadmap outpaces the team
Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.
- Pull requests wait days for review.
- New engineers lose a sprint to setup.
- You added people and shipped less.
- One reviewer holds up the whole team.
- Account managers sit between you and the work.
- Roadmap dates slip without anyone flagging it.
How our hiring process works
Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented. Every administrative candidate passes 5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening, and you see vetted candidates in 10 calendar days.
AI-assisted screening
Every application is screened against the role's real requirements before a recruiter reviews it.
Skills assessment
Candidates prove the core skills the role needs through practical, job-specific tasks.
Communication and culture
We assess English fluency, communication, and fit for how your team actually works.
Background verification
Work history, credentials, and identity are verified before any candidate advances.
Reference checks
We speak to past managers to confirm performance before a candidate reaches you.
Where your engineers work best
- Security or clearance rules require it
- The seat leads architecture for the whole team
- Customer-facing technical work happens onsite
- Work happens in the repo and the ticket queue
- You need capacity for a release push
- Senior engineering cost is the constraint
Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.
| Role / responsibility | Global | US direct hire | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feature development | Global | Repository and ticket queue work | |
| Quality assurance and test automation | Global | Defined workstreams, staffs globally | |
| Architecture leadership | US direct hire | Usually the anchor seat, kept domestic | |
| Clearance restricted work | US direct hire | Security rules may require US staff | |
| Code review capacity | Global | Timezone overlap matters more than location | |
| Onsite customer technical work | US direct hire | Happens in the customer's building | |
| Technical writing and documentation | Global | Written work, staffs globally | |
| Third line production support | Global | US direct hire | Depends on your access policy |
One partner, onshore and global
A US office manager working alongside two fully managed global assistants is a Tuesday, not an exception. You pick the model per desk and we run both under one partner.
What our clients say.
"I run an ecomm business and have worked with people remote but needed new hires. HireHawk has been incredible. Great talent, great people, great onboarding, great pricing."
"It was very easy working with HireHawk, from looking for viable candidates, the interview process, all the way to implementation of your hire, they handle it all. We are also very happy with our hire. Very easy and seamless process."
"HireHawk filled two senior roles in under two weeks. The candidates were sharper than anything our in-house recruiter surfaced in months."
Growing US companies use HireHawk for vetted candidates in 10 calendar days, onboarding in 21 days, and a guarantee behind every placement: 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed, 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire.

HireHawk is a staffing agency for growing US companies that adds engineers into your existing team rather than alongside it. Candidates are screened on your stack, your review standards and the board they would pull work from.

What is staff augmentation?
Staff augmentation adds vetted engineers directly to your existing team rather than outsourcing a project. They work your sprints, your board and your code review standards, report to your leads, and commit to your repository. You keep ownership of architecture, process and the code itself.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
An agency takes a scope, works separately and delivers a result, and their knowledge leaves when the contract ends. Augmented engineers sit inside your team, follow your standards and build context that stays. You direct the work daily instead of managing a statement of work.
How do you assess engineers technically?
Every candidate completes a live assessment in your stack: a real problem, reviewed for correctness, readability and how they handle being questioned on their approach. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented, and your own team can add an interview round on top.
Can augmented engineers work in our sprints and standups?
Yes, that is the point of the model. Engineers work your hours, attend your ceremonies and use your tooling. Our core markets include time zones that overlap the US working day, so standups do not need rescheduling. Your leads assign work directly, exactly as they would to an in-house engineer, and nothing routes through an account manager.
Who owns the code and the intellectual property?
You do, without exception. Work is committed to your repositories under agreements assigning all intellectual property to you, and access is provisioned and revoked by your team. Nothing is retained on our side. If your legal team wants to review the assignment terms before a search begins, we will send them across on request.
How quickly can an engineer join the team?
Shortlist in 10 calendar days, onboarding in 21 days. Most teams have an engineer committing code inside the first two weeks of onboarding, with the pace set by your environment setup and codebase complexity rather than the search. Teams with documented setup and a clear first ticket see productive output fastest, so we ask about both before the search starts.
When is staff augmentation the wrong choice?
When nobody on your side has capacity to direct the work. Augmented engineers need a technical owner assigning tickets and reviewing output. If you need someone to take a problem away entirely and return a finished result, that is a project engagement, and we will tell you so rather than place a seat that will not succeed.
How do we onboard an augmented engineer quickly?
Have the environment, repository access and a first ticket ready before day one. The teams that get code committed in week one are the ones that treated setup as a prerequisite rather than a first task, and the difference between that and a two-week ramp is entirely preparation.
