What does it cost to hire through SQA Solution?

Pricing depends on the role and the type of hire, and is tailored to your budget.

Which types of hire do you support?

Contract, contract-to-hire and direct hire, plus team augmentation when you need several specialists or a whole team. For contractors we handle payroll and onboarding.

What if a direct hire doesn’t work out?

Direct-hire placements come with a 90-day guarantee. If the placement doesn’t work out within 90 days, we find a replacement at no additional cost.

Do you only work with life-science companies?

No. We staff software, AI, data, finance, e-commerce, healthcare and life-science teams. Our validation work is for regulated life-science companies.

Can the same team validate or test our systems?

Yes. Our own validation and QA consultants work alongside our recruiters, so the team that places your engineers can also validate and test the systems they work on.

What do you need help with?

Thank you. We received your message.

Someone from our team will get back to you within one business day.
