Our process

The D4 framework in action.

  1. DISCOVER

    Step 1 — Intake call (Day 0)

    A 30 to 45 minute conversation with one of our founders. We understand the role, the team, the stack, the comp range, and what "good" actually looks like. Discovery is non-negotiable — rushing it is how bad hires happen.

  2. DISCOVER

    Step 2 — Market mapping (Day 1 to 3)

    We build a target list of candidates from our network and a fresh sourcing pass. We do not just push your role to our existing database.

  3. DESIGN + DELIVER

    Step 3 — Outreach & screening (Day 3 to 7)

    Personalised outreach calibrated to the role. Technical and motivational screening. Calibration check-in with you to adjust if needed.

  4. DELIVER

    Step 4 — Shortlist (Day 5 to 10)

    3 to 5 calibrated candidates with our written assessment of each. You interview only the candidates we genuinely believe in.

  5. DRIVE

    Step 5 — Close (Day 10 to 21 typical)

    We help with offer structure, counter-offer management, and notice-period planning. Most permanent placements close within 2 to 4 weeks.

Commercials
