Candidates pass technical screens aligned to your stack — live coding, system design, or take-home exercises as appropriate. Soft skills and communication are evaluated in English with client-facing scenarios. References and employment history are verified before profiles reach your shortlist. We do not flood you with resumes; we send three to five strong fits per role.

Overview
What This Service Covers

Staff aug is not body shopping — we match skills, timezone overlap, and communication style. Kan-Tek tech leads stay involved for quality and continuity.
Capabilities
What's Included
Each capability maps to deliverables in your statement of work — no vague bullet points.
Engagements scale from part-time specialists to full-time embedded engineers and sprint-based pods. Contracts clarify notice periods, IP assignment, and equipment policies upfront. Ramp-down paths protect continuity when projects end or budgets shift. Extensions and role changes are handled without restarting a lengthy recruiting cycle.
A US-based account owner owns the relationship, escalations, and quarterly business reviews in your timezone. Delivery leads in Vietnam coordinate day-to-day execution with overlap hours for standups. You have one throat to choke for quality issues without managing individual contractors. Invoices and contracts run through Kan-Tek for simplicity.
Trial periods — typically two to four weeks — let both sides assess collaboration before long-term commitment. If fit is wrong, swap policy replaces talent without punitive fees when issues are raised promptly. Cultural onboarding covers your comms norms, code review expectations, and meeting etiquette. We prioritize engineers who have shipped in similar domains, not just keyword matches.
Onboarding covers your Git workflow, branch policies, CI expectations, Jira/Linear rituals, and Slack norms in week one. Access provisioning follows your security team’s checklist — SSO, MFA, VPN. Documentation habits match your standards so knowledge does not leave when individuals rotate. Time tracking and reporting integrate with how you already manage vendors.
Pairing sessions and recorded walkthroughs document architecture decisions and tribal knowledge. Runbooks cover deploy, rollback, and on-call expectations before Kan-Tek steps back. Code review standards ensure your internal team can maintain quality after augmentation ends. IP and repos remain in your organization from day one.
Delivery Flow
How We Execute
A transparent pipeline — you know what happens in each phase before we start.
We workshop skills, seniority, hours, timezone overlap, and culture fit with your hiring manager and tech lead. Must-have vs. nice-to-have criteria are ranked to avoid endless searching for unicorns. Success criteria for the first 30–60 days are written down — shipped features, test coverage, or domain learning. Budget and start date constraints shape whether we propose one senior or a small balanced pod.
Profiles land in your inbox within three to five business days of signed role spec, with resume summaries and screening notes. Video intros optional for remote-first teams who want personality signal before interviews. We highlight risks honestly — gaps in domain, visa timing — so you decide with full context. Additional candidates follow only if the first batch misses the bar.
You run technical and cultural interviews; we coordinate scheduling across time zones and collect structured feedback. Take-home or live exercises use your problems when NDAs allow, or anonymized equivalents. Debrief calls align on hire/no-hire within 48 hours of final round. Offer negotiation and start date logistics are handled with candidate transparency.
Week-one onboarding assigns a buddy on your team and Kan-Tek tech lead for questions. First-sprint checkpoint reviews velocity, communication, and code quality against the 30-day success criteria. Adjustments — scope, pairing, hours — happen early if misalignment appears. Ongoing pulse checks replace surprise at renewal time.
