Extended Development Teams in Manchester

We scope your needs, then match engineers from our UK, Spain, or Ukraine centres within 2-3 weeks. The exact timeline depends on the skills you need and how specific your requirements are. Most clients are interviewing candidates within the first week.

You scale down without penalty. Our model is designed to flex with your capacity needs. Unlike permanent hires, you adjust team size when priorities shift, and you only pay for the hours you use.

Yes. They join your standups, follow your processes, and report to your engineering lead. The main difference is they're not on your payroll. We handle recruitment, admin, and employment compliance so you focus on delivery.

Absolutely. If you want to convert an engineer to a permanent hire, we make that transition easy. No blocker fees or artificial complications. It happens regularly.

We interview and vet all candidates before they're recommended. Your team interviews them too. You're in control of who joins. We also pair new engineers with your existing staff on the first few tasks so they ramp up quickly and understand your codebase and culture.

You save on recruitment, benefits, onboarding, and redundancy risk. You pay for actual hours worked, not sick days or notice periods. There's no entry-level premium, and you can test people before committing. For CTOs, this is often 20-30% cheaper than permanent hiring over a 12-month period, plus you get faster scaling.
