Built for the moment
hiring can't keep up.
Most engineering teams don't have a headcount problem — they have a speed problem. Staff augmentation closes the gap between when you need someone and when a permanent hire could realistically start.
Hiring takes 3–6 months — the roadmap doesn’t wait that long.
Headcount is frozen, but the backlog isn’t.
Senior talent for niche stacks — SAP, DevOps, AI/ML — is scarce locally.
One engineer on notice can stall an entire sprint.
Agencies hand you a CV stack with no quality signal — you do the vetting.
A 6-month project doesn’t justify a permanent hire.
Scaling ahead of a launch
Add capacity for a release or peak season without a permanent headcount decision.
Filling a specialist gap
SAP S/4HANA, DevOps, data engineering, AI/ML — skills your current team doesn’t have.
Covering leave or notice periods
Keep a sprint moving while a role is vacant or an engineer is serving notice.
Entering a new market
Malaysian engineers on your team, no local entity required on your end.
Extending runway
Augment instead of committing to permanent headcount while budget stays tight.
Proving out a role
Validate that a position is worth making permanent before you commit to it.
Senior engineering
without a senior
hiring cycle.
Permanent hires take 3–6 months. Recruitment agencies hand you a CV stack with no quality signal. We sit in the middle: fast like a contractor, vetted like a hire.
Pre-vetted talent
Every candidate goes through our vetting process: technical assessment, portfolio review, and a scenario interview with a senior PowTech engineer before you see them.
Full-stack expertise
Engineers across web, mobile, cloud, DevOps, AI/ML, data, QA and security. Specialists, not generalists.
Honest sourcing
When the profile exists in our network, you see a shortlist quickly. When it doesn't, we say so and agree a realistic sourcing window — we don't pad a CV stack just to look busy.
Malaysian engineers, global clients
We source Malaysian talent only — placed onshore in KL or working remotely for your overseas team. Competitive rates, no foreign entity required on your end.
Seamless integration
Your tools, your sprints, your standups. Engineers operate as members of your team, not a separate vendor.
Full-time only
Every placement is a dedicated full-time resource — 100% yours. 12-month minimum engagement. Renew, extend, or add headcount as your team grows.
From brief to standup
in two weeks or less.
Brief us
Share your tech stack, project requirements, timeline and team culture. We ask 5 sharp questions.
Candidate shortlist
We source fresh, tailored to your JD and team fit. You get a shortlist of vetted candidates with calibrated rate ranges, CVs annotated and screening notes attached. If the profile is rare we tell you upfront and agree a realistic sourcing window.
You interview & select
You run your own interviews. We chase, schedule, and prep candidates for your culture.
Onboard & ship
Contracts, HR admin, equipment, payroll — all on us. Immediate joiners start within the week; otherwise statutory notice (typically 1 month in Malaysia) applies.
Typical time to
first start date.
For immediate joiners, two weeks. For candidates on notice, four to eight. We work backwards from your deadline — tell us when you need someone and we'll tell you if it's achievable.
Brief, shortlist & interviews
We turn your brief into a curated shortlist in days. You interview, select, and sign off.
Contracts & onboarding
Paperwork, equipment, and access sorted on our side. Immediate joiners start within the week.
Notice period (if applicable)
Most Malaysian engineers are on 1–2 month notice. We tell you this upfront — no surprises at offer stage.
* Timelines are indicative. Rare or senior roles may take longer — we flag this at brief stage, not at offer stage.
