We've refined our process over hundreds of engagements to minimize time-to-productivity and maximize the value you get from day one. Every step is designed to reduce risk and build confidence.
Discovery Call
A 30-minute conversation with Diogo to understand your technical needs, team culture, and timeline. We discuss your tech stack, the roles you need, and how our engineers would integrate with your existing team.
Timeline: Day 1
Candidate Matching
We handpick 2-3 senior engineers from our vetted talent pool who match your technical requirements and team dynamics. Each candidate comes with a detailed profile covering their experience, tech stack, and communication style.
Timeline: 3-5 business days
Technical Interview
You interview the candidates using your own process. We can also run a joint technical assessment if you'd like our input. You choose the engineer who fits best — no pressure, no obligation.
Timeline: 1-3 days
Onboarding
Your new engineer gets access to your tools (GitHub, Slack, Jira/Linear, cloud console) and starts contributing. We pair them with your team for the first sprint to accelerate ramp-up. Most engineers are productive within the first week.
Timeline: Week 2
Delivery & Iteration
From here, it's business as usual. Your DHD Tech engineers work as full members of your team — attending standups, participating in code reviews, and shipping features. We run monthly check-ins to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Timeline: Ongoing
What Makes Our Process Different
- Speed: Most outsourcing firms take 4-6 weeks to present candidates. We present in 5 business days because we pre-vet our talent pool continuously.
- Quality: We only staff senior engineers (5+ years). No bait-and-switch with junior developers after you sign.
- Transparency: You interview and choose the engineer. We don't assign people without your approval.
- Zero lock-in: No long-term contracts required. We ask for a 3-month initial commitment, then month-to-month. You stay because of results, not paperwork.
- Founder access: Diogo is available for any escalation or strategic discussion throughout the engagement.
