What administrative staffing takes off your plate

Test suites Maintained, not quietly abandoned
Internal data Clean enough that reports are trusted
Service requests Handled without queueing behind feature work
Release slips Prevented by owning the process
Engineering leakage Internal maintenance stops eating sprint time
Transparent pricing

Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.

Every systems and delivery 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.

When to hire

When the tooling has no owner

Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.

Test suites rot Failing cases get ignored instead of fixed or removed.
Reports nobody trusts Internal data degraded and the numbers stopped matching.
Service requests queue Internal asks wait behind whatever is on the roadmap.
Releases slip without warning The problem surfaces at the release, not before.
Do any of these sound familiar?
  • Failing tests get ignored, not fixed.
  • Nobody trusts the internal reports.
  • Service requests queue behind feature work.
  • Releases slip and the reason surfaces later.
  • Internal maintenance eats sprint capacity.
  • The tooling has no owner.

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.

Model fit

Where your systems staff work best

Hire in the US when
  • Onsite network and desktop work is physical
  • Vendor contracts need a domestic signatory
  • The seat sits in your leadership meetings
Hire globally when
  • Test automation is a defined workstream
  • Internal data hygiene is system work
  • Service requests arrive as tickets

Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.

Role / responsibility Global US direct hire Why
Test automation Global Defined workstream, staffs globally
Internal data hygiene Global System work with no location benefit
Service request handling Global Ticket based, runs from anywhere
Release coordination Global Process work, timezone overlap helps
Onsite network and desktop US direct hire Physical, stays a US hire
Vendor contract signing US direct hire Needs a domestic signatory
Internal tooling documentation Global Written work, staffs globally
User access administration Global US direct hire Depends on your permission 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.

FAQ

Administrative Support staffing, answered

What does a systems and delivery desk own?

It keeps the internal systems and the delivery process working: customer relationship management administration, quality assurance and test automation, service management and the project coordination between them. It exists to stop engineering time leaking into internal maintenance, which stays invisible until a release slips.

Who hires systems and delivery operations staff through HireHawk?

Software businesses at the point where internal maintenance is eating sprint time and nobody owns the tooling. The trigger is usually a release that slipped or a report nobody trusted. Both hiring models carry a guarantee: 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed, 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire.

Can these seats be staffed globally?

Yes, essentially all of it. Test automation, system administration, internal data hygiene and service request handling are defined, ticketed workstreams, which makes them among the easier engineering seats to staff globally from our six core talent markets. Onsite desktop and network work is the exception and stays a US direct hire.

How quickly can we get an owner on the tooling?

Shortlist in 10 calendar days from the discovery call, onboarding in 21 days. Both sourcing and 5-Stage Vetting run inside that window. Tell us on the call what currently has no owner, because that list is usually the job description, and it is normally longer than anyone expects.

How do you vet systems and delivery candidates?

5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening, plus an exercise from the work: a test suite with a third of its cases failing, and whether they fix, delete or quarantine. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented. Judgment about what to maintain is more useful here than raw automation skill.

What does this desk cost to staff?

Global Fully Managed from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month. These are defined, ticketed workstreams, which makes them among the easier engineering seats to place well. US Direct Hire is $995 plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with nothing upfront, if a seat must be domestic.

Is this a quality assurance hire or an operations hire?

Both, and that is the point. The desk covers test automation, internal systems administration and service management because they fail together when nobody owns them. If you only need testing, say so and we will scope a narrower seat rather than sell you the whole desk.

How do we measure whether it worked?

Pick the thing that is currently invisible. Most teams use one of three: test suite pass rate, internal service request age, or whether the last release slipped. All three are measurable within a quarter and all three are the reason this desk exists.
