We build the engineering team.You lead what comes next.
Cube27 handles the people operation behind delivery: we qualify the brief, source and technically screen candidates, employ those selected, and manage payroll and ongoing staffing support.
The client keeps final selection, daily priorities and performance control—so its leaders can stay focused on the product and the market.

Nine steps from brief to first day
Assessments are role-appropriate. A QA lead and a product designer do not sit the same test.
Qualify
Role, level, compensation range, location and work model are checked against what Cube27 can credibly recruit and screen.
- Accept or decline stated up front
- Written role brief before sourcing starts
Source
Candidates come from the existing network, the inbound talent pool and targeted search.
- No mass CV forwarding
- Shortlist sized to the role
HR screen
Motivation, communication, notice period, work authorisation and engagement preferences.
- Availability confirmed early
- Compensation expectations captured privately
Technical assessment
A task matched to the discipline — a coding exercise, a design task, a test strategy or an infrastructure problem.
- Role-appropriate, never generic
- Result recorded on the candidate snapshot
Technical interview
Conducted by Cube27 engineers, technical leadership or the CEO — someone who works in the discipline being assessed.
- Written recommendation
- Known gaps stated, not hidden
References
Reference and background verification, carried out with the candidate's separate written consent.
- Consent obtained before any contact
- Status shown on the snapshot
Client interview
Whatever process the client runs. Selection is entirely the client's decision.
- Curated shortlist with assessment context
- No pressure to accept a candidate
Offer and onboarding
Cube27 issues the employment offer, completes payroll onboarding and arranges work hardware.
- Cube27 is the legal employer
- Hardware charged at actual cost
On assignment
The engineer works to the client's priorities. Cube27 runs periodic check-ins and handles employment matters.
- Client owns performance review
- Replacement search if the client requests removal
