Vetted senior engineers, placed under our name. Not yours.

Contract

Our consultants on engagement with you.

Full-time Cynosure employees on assignment. We carry benefits, payroll, insurance, and ongoing performance management. You get an engineer who shows up Monday morning and treats your engagement like their job, because it is. Standard rates published; volume terms negotiable; no surprise pass-through markups.

• Engagements from three months to multi-year
• W-2 to Cynosure, never 1099, never C2C unless you specifically ask
• Background check, tech screen, and reference work completed before submission
• Replacement guaranteed in writing for the first 30 days

Contract-to-hire

Try before you commit.

Three or six months of paid evaluation. If you want to convert at the end, you do — at a published buyout schedule. If you don't, the consultant rolls back to our bench and we both move on without bad feeling. It's the lowest-risk way to hire someone you can't fully evaluate from a forty-five-minute interview.

• Standard 3- or 6-month evaluation windows
• Conversion buyout published in advance; no negotiation theater
• Same vetting standard as our long-term contract engagements

Direct-hire

Retained or contingent search.

When you need someone in a seat permanently and the role is hard, we run a search. We charge a flat fee, not a percentage of salary — we don't want our incentives misaligned with yours. The replacement guarantee runs ninety days. We do this for senior engineering, architecture, security, and platform-leadership roles.

• Flat fee, not a percentage of comp
• Replacement guarantee in writing, 90 days
• Senior individual-contributor and leadership roles
