IT staff augmentation, done the way we'd want it done to us

Not every engagement needs KnackHook to own delivery. Sometimes you already have the team and process — you just need vetted, capable people who can plug in and contribute from week one. Same bar we hold for our own delivery engagements, applied to talent we place directly on your team.

How engagements work

Four ways to bring KnackHook talent onto your team.

Contract

A specialist joins your team for a defined term, W2 or corp-to-corp, billed hourly or on a defined scope.

Contract-to-hire

Start under contract, convert to your headcount once fit is proven on the job.

Direct hire

Permanent placement of senior and specialized IT professionals, with no conversion period.

Project teams

A multi-resource delivery team assembled for a specific initiative, managed by you.

Roles we place

Across the same disciplines behind our own delivery work.

Software Engineering

Full-stack, mobile, .NET, backend

Data & Analytics

Data engineers, analysts, BI developers

Cloud & Infrastructure

DevOps, cloud architects, SREs

Project & Delivery

PMs, scrum masters, business analysts

QA & Support

ERP & Business Systems

Security & Compliance

Network & Systems

Network engineers, systems administrators

UI/UX & Design

Product designers, UX researchers

Not limited to these — tell us the role and we'll tell you who's available.

Proprietary

Powered by KnackHire

Staffing Partner vs. Technology Partner

Two models, same bar for talent — pick the one that fits how you work.

Staffing Partner

  • You manage the work and the process
  • We source, vet, and place the people
  • Contract, contract-to-hire, direct hire, or project teams
  • Best when you have the roadmap, not the headcount

Technology Partner

  • We manage delivery end to end
  • We bring architecture and accountability
  • Billed as a scoped engagement
  • Best when you need an outcome, not headcount
