Both. Re:Sourced has successfully supported businesses ranging from pre-seed startups building their first engineering team, through to Series A and B scale-ups and large enterprise technology organisations.

Our structured approach is particularly well-suited to founders and engineering leaders who need speed, quality and predictability - regardless of company stage.

Three things set us apart:

• Structured process - every search follows a defined four-phase framework that reduces hiring risk and shortens cycles
• Deep specialisation - we only work in technical engineering, meaning we understand the roles, the market and what good looks like
• Candidate experience - we treat candidate experience as a competitive advantage for your employer brand, resulting in higher acceptance rates

Our 16-day average time to hire and 90% filled in 3 CVs or fewer are outcomes of process discipline - not shortcuts.

Our fees are engagement-specific and depend on the type of search (permanent, contractor or executive), seniority level, and scope of the mandate. We offer transparent, outcome-aligned pricing discussed during your initial brief.

Speak with a Specialist to discuss your requirements and receive a clear fee structure before committing to anything.

Yes. We offer replacement guarantees on permanent placements. The specific terms are outlined in our client agreement and discussed during the initial engagement.

Our structured process - particularly our offer management and candidate engagement approach - means our fall-through rate is well below industry average. But if something doesn't work out, we stand behind our placements.

We follow a structured four-phase framework for every engagement:

• Phase 1 - Role Calibration: Define technical scope, benchmark compensation and align interview structure
• Phase 2 - Market Mapping & Outreach: Map the talent market, conduct direct outreach to passive candidates, screen for technical depth
• Phase 3 - Shortlist & Interview Control: Present calibrated shortlists, coordinate interviews, manage feedback loops
• Phase 4 - Offer Strategy & Close: Manage offer strategy, counter-offer exposure and transition to start date

See our Process page for a full breakdown.

Our average time to hire is 16 days from brief to accepted offer. 90% of our roles are filled in 3 CVs or fewer.

Timeline varies by role seniority, market availability and interview process speed on the client side. Executive searches typically take 3–6 weeks. We'll give you an honest assessment of expected timeline during the intake call.

Every candidate presented goes through a structured screening process covering:

• Technical depth assessment against agreed role criteria
• Delivery ownership and track record evaluation
• Motivation and compensation alignment check
• Cultural fit and communication assessment
• Reference and background context where applicable

We only present candidates we'd be comfortable hiring ourselves. No padding, no volume plays.

Yes. Contractor delivery is one of our three core service offerings. We provide rapid access to vetted technical contractors for delivery spikes, time-critical initiatives, AI implementation phases, cloud migrations, data platform builds and more.

We manage the brief, sourcing, screening, compliance, payroll and onboarding - so your team stays focused on delivery.

The easiest way is to speak with a specialist. We'll run a 30-minute intake conversation to understand your role, team context, timeline and expectations - and give you a clear picture of what a search would look like before committing to anything.
