How quickly can you actually place someone?

For common roles (senior React, Node.js, Python), we typically have shortlists within 48–72 hours and can have someone starting within 2–3 weeks. For niche specialisms (e.g. Rust, embedded systems, very specific fintech compliance), it's more like 3–5 weeks. We'll tell you upfront if your requirement is unusual rather than promise something we can't deliver.

Who manages the engineer day to day?

You do. They report into your team structure, attend your standups, work in your project management tools. We're not involved in day-to-day task management. We handle the contract, admin, and pastoral care — you handle the work.

What seniority levels do you place?

Primarily mid-to-senior level. We don't place juniors unless you're specifically building a mentored team and have the bandwidth to train. Most clients want people who can ramp quickly — that means engineers with at least 4–5 years of relevant experience and a history of working in existing codebases rather than starting from scratch.

IT Staffing & Consulting

Senior engineers embedded in your team within weeks, not months.

When your roadmap accelerates faster than your hiring pipeline, you need vetted engineers who can plug into an existing team and contribute from day one. Our staff augmentation service places senior-level engineers, designers, and specialists directly into your team — working in your tools, on your backlog, under your direction — without the 3–6 month lag of a full-time hire.

Why Origin for Staff Augmentation

Personally vouched, not database-matched

We don't scrape CVs from a platform. Every candidate is someone whose code we've reviewed, whose references we've called, and whose work style we can describe from firsthand knowledge.

Two-week replacement guarantee

If the placement isn't working within the first two weeks for any reason — skills mismatch, cultural fit, communication — we replace them at no additional cost.

We stay involved after placement

Monthly check-ins with both the engineer and your team. We catch friction early before it becomes a problem. This isn't a placement-and-disappear model.

“We needed a senior backend engineer in three weeks or we'd miss a critical deadline. Origin had three vetted candidates to us in 48 hours. The one we picked was genuinely senior — not just someone who claimed to be.”
