The short answer

HandsOnTech lets you hire dedicated UI/UX designers, web and mobile engineers, SEO experts and AI developers, 64 roles across six categories plus location-based hiring in major U.S. metros, with written quotes and U.S. hours overlap.

Add capacity without a six-month recruiter search or a staffing firm bait-and-switch. The same seniors who ship our client work can embed in your Slack and repo.

Senior capacity without the recruiting cycle

A full-time senior search takes three to six months, costs a recruiter fee, and ends in a coin-flip on fit, while the roadmap waits. Dedicated hiring inverts it: you interview a vetted senior specialist this week, they embed in your Slack and standups within two, and the monthly engagement scales up or down with two weeks’ notice. Sixty-five roles across six disciplines (design, web, mobile, marketing, AI development and AI agents) plus location-based hiring for major U.S. metros. The person you interview is the person who shows up.

No bench, no bait-and-switch

The staffing-industry trick is selling you a strong resume and staffing someone else. We don’t run an anonymous bench: the specialists we place are the same seniors who ship our client work, vetted on real projects you can inspect. Every placement includes NDA and full IP assignment from day one, guaranteed U.S. business-hours overlap, and direct access to the specialist, no account-manager relay. If the fit isn’t right in the first sprints, you swap or stop; the risk of a bad hire converts into a two-week experiment instead of a six-month regret.

How hiring works

From intro call to embedded, in two weeks

No six-month recruiter search, no staffing-agency markup maze.

Day 0

Intro call

Tell us the role, stack and hours you need. We ask the questions a recruiter wouldn’t know to ask.

Day 2–3

Meet your specialist

You interview the actual person, portfolio, code, communication. No bait-and-switch with a different face on day one.

Week 1

Embedded and working

NDA and IP assignment signed, access granted, first tickets picked up. They join your standup like any teammate.

Week 2

First demo

Working output in the sprint review. If the fit isn’t right, swap or stop, you only continue if it’s working.

Ways to work with us

Three ways to add capacity

Every model starts with a free consultation and a written quote, the price you sign is the price you pay.

Our commitments

What you can hold us to

Not adjectives, terms. Each of these is written into the engagement before you sign.

Fixed price, in writing, before work starts

You receive a written scope with milestones, deliverables and a delivery date within 48 hours of the free audit. No hourly creep, and no change order three weeks before launch.

You own everything on final payment

Source code, Figma files, content and analytics access transfer to you when the final invoice clears. No license fees, no vendor lock-in, and no platform you can only edit by paying us.

A 30-day bug warranty, in the contract

Bugs found in the first month after go-live are fixed free. It is a contractual term rather than a sales promise, and it is the reason we would rather ship correctly than ship early.
