Tech Stacks
Pre-screened on every stack below. Most engineers have 5-8+ years on production stacks. Don't see your toolchain? Ask — we add new partnerships when client demand justifies it.
Dual Engine
Most tech-hire decisions split into two camps: "hire dedicated engineers who join my Slack and sprint board" or "give me an outcome-driven pod that ships features." We do both — and we'll tell you which fits your stage.
You manage them in Slack, Jira, Linear, GitHub. AB7 owns recruitment, HR, payroll, replacement. You pay one fixed monthly fee per engineer. Best when you want engineers reporting to your engineering manager day-to-day.
We assemble a pod (e.g. dev + QA + DevOps + PM, or AI engineer + data + frontend) that delivers against weekly outcomes. AB7 PM owns velocity, throughput, sprint planning, and exception escalation. Best when you want shipped features, not hours.
The Journey
Same three-phase journey whether it's one full-stack engineer or a 12-person AI pod. Discovery first, controlled delivery, ongoing optimization.

Address the Fears
Six fears we hear in nearly every CTO discovery call. Six concrete things we do about each one.
Three-stage engineering screen — live coding, system design, behavioral. Stack-specific deep-dive. We share recorded technical interviews + scorecards before you commit. ~70%+ shortlisted profiles pass to client second round.
NDA + IP-assignment from day 1. Private-repo onboarding. ISO 27001 + SOC 2 controls. Role-based access in GitHub / GitLab. Audit-trail logging. Endpoint security + MDM-managed devices on demand.
85%+ retention vs 60% offshore-staffing average. Free replacement inside 30 days; structured swap inside 14-21 days beyond. Optional 2-week paid trial upfront for even more confidence.
Verified hands-on stack proficiency BEFORE profiles arrive. Live system-design rounds for backend / DevOps. App-store-deploy verification for mobile. Production LLM proof for AI engineers. Receipts, not resumes.
Full business-hour overlap with US (ET/CT/MT/PT), UK (GMT/BST), AU (AEDT), CA (ET/CT/MT/PT), UAE (GST), EU (CET). They show up in your standups, sprint planning, and code reviews — not after they sleep.
Upwork = marketplace; you screen, contract, manage, replace yourself. Toptal = hourly markups, weekly invoices. AB7 = dedicated-FTE staffing partner: one fixed monthly fee, full-time engineer exclusively yours, AB7 owns recruitment + HR + payroll + replacement.
Phase 01
Most failed offshore engineering hires were rushed past discovery. Days 0-2 are about mapping stack, seniority, sprint cadence, time-zone, and the team this engineer joins.
60-90 min with hiring manager / CTO / engineering lead. We map the role, stack, sprint cadence, code-review culture, on-call expectations, and what 'great' looks like at 90 days.
Verified hands-on React, Next.js, Node, Python, AWS, Kubernetes, etc. Live coding + system design rounds BEFORE profiles reach you. Recorded scorecards on request.
Junior (1-3 yr), mid (3-5 yr), senior (5-8 yr), staff (8-12+ yr). Domain expertise (fintech, healthtech, SaaS, AI, gaming) routed to engineers with sector experience.
Apples-to-apples cost comparison: AB7 monthly fee vs. fully-loaded local-hire equivalent (salary + benefits + payroll tax + recruitment + tooling). 60-70% typical savings.
After rubric sign-off, you receive 3-5 engineering-screened profiles within 60 minutes — credentials verified, stack-fluency tested, time-zone confirmed, GitHub portfolios shared.
Phase 02
Days 3-21 are interview rounds, optional paid trial, structured onboarding into your GitHub / GitLab / Slack / Jira, and a first-PR-shipped milestone in week 2.
You interview every shortlisted candidate. Technical (live coding + system design), behavioral, culture-fit. We coordinate scheduling, share screen-recorded technical assessments.
Lower-friction entry — 2 weeks of paid engineering work before you commit to the full engagement. Replace at no cost if not the right fit. Deliver 1-2 small features or bug fixes during trial.
GitHub / GitLab access, Slack, Jira / Linear, Datadog, Sentry. Day-1 runbooks. Architecture walkthrough. Ramp-up tasks for week 1. Audit-trail logging enabled.
Standup integration, sprint planning, sprint review, retro participation. Code review cadence. On-call rotation if applicable. They show up as a team member, not an offshore vendor.
Day 30: hiring manager 1:1 with AB7 PM. PRs shipped, code-quality feedback, velocity vs expectations. Honest feedback loop. Replacement at no cost if performance isn't tracking.
Phase 03
Hiring is the start. AB7's HR backbone keeps your engineer engaged, growing, and retained. 85%+ retention because we treat retention as a product.
30-min review with hiring manager + AB7 PM. PRs shipped, code-review quality, blockers, growth trajectory. Course-correct early.
Salary reviews on schedule, certification sponsorship (AWS / Azure / GCP / Kubernetes / specialty tracks), mentorship pairing, internal training programs.
If you outgrow them or they outgrow the role, we replace inside 14-21 days — pre-vetted, no recruitment fee, no onboarding restart.
Need 3 more engineers next quarter? An AI engineer for a new initiative? We've already built your hiring rubric. Next hire ships in 14-21 days, not 90.
Director-level Q&A: portfolio retention, velocity, role-mix evolution, strategic engineering hiring roadmap for next 6 months.

Best for: Single defined engineering project with end date
FAQ
Share role specs (stack, seniority, time-zone overlap, engagement model) with AB7. We deliver 3-5 engineering-screened developer profiles within 60 minutes, route them through a 3-stage technical screen (live coding + system design + behavioral), and onboard the chosen hire with NDA, IP-assignment, and managed payroll. First PR typically shipped within Days 15-21.
Three vetting layers: (1) hard-skill technical screen — live coding, system design, stack-specific deep-dive; (2) behavioral and culture-fit interview; (3) verified references and background check. We share scorecards and recorded technical interviews on request. ~70%+ shortlisted profiles pass to client second round.
Yes — many of our senior engineers have 5-10+ years on production stacks (React, Next.js, Node, Python, AWS, Kubernetes), multiple OSS contributions, and prior experience at YC startups, US scale-ups, and FAANG-adjacent companies. We share GitHub portfolios + recorded system-design rounds before you commit.
NDA + IP-assignment signed before any candidate sees your repos. ISO 27001 + SOC 2 controls. Role-based access in GitHub/GitLab. Endpoint security + MDM-managed devices on demand. Encrypted credentials. Audit-trail logging. Client SOC 2 audits routinely satisfied.
Yes — full business-hour overlap (4-8 hours typical) with US (ET/CT/MT/PT), UK (GMT/BST), AU (AEDT), CA (ET/CT/MT/PT), UAE (GST), EU (CET). They show up in your standups, sprint planning, code reviews, and on-call. We match by country.
Yes — for AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and Terraform DevOps roles, AB7 delivers 3-5 vetted profiles within 60 minutes and a working engineer within 5 business days for standard scope. Faster for emergency-bridge engagements (incident response, Series-A scale-up burnout).
Upwork = marketplace; you screen, contract, manage, replace yourself. Toptal = elite talent on hourly rates with weekly invoices and high markups. AB7 = dedicated-FTE staffing partner: one fixed monthly fee, full-time engineer exclusively yours, AB7 owns recruitment + HR + payroll + replacement. Lower TCO than Toptal; lower management burden than Upwork.
Inside the first 30 days, we replace at no cost — pre-vetted alternative, no recruitment fee, no awkward conversations. Beyond 30 days, replacement remains included; we typically place an alternative within 14-21 days. Optional 2-week paid trial available upfront if you want even more confidence before committing.
