Why teams choose this model

Posting jobs attracts hundreds of unqualified applicants. Recruiters burn months on screening. The best engineers are not actively applying—they need to be sourced, vetted, and sold on your mission. Meanwhile your roadmap slips every week you run understaffed.

Best when you have clear backlog and internal engineering leadership but need extra hands without permanent hiring cycles.

What you get

How Heloix delivers

Clarity, quality, and accountability—without the overhead of building everything in-house.

Rigorous technical vetting

Multi-stage interviews: live coding, system design, take-home where appropriate, and reference checks. Only engineers who would pass your own bar make the shortlist.

Your tools, your rituals

Developers join your Slack, stand-ups, Jira, GitHub org, and code review culture from day one. They report to your leads—we remove admin overhead, not accountability.

Flexible engagement lengths

Scale from one specialist for 3 months to a rotating bench across multiple squads. Ramp up or down with 30-day notice—no long-term lock-in beyond what you choose.

IP & security by default

NDAs, background checks, device management, and optional SOC2-aligned access controls. Code and IP remain 100% yours; contractors never retain rights.

Replacement guarantee

If a placement is not the right fit in the first 4 weeks, we replace the engineer at no additional onboarding fee—because chemistry matters as much as skills.

Transparent monthly billing

Predictable per-engineer monthly rates. No hidden recruitment fees, no surprise charges. Detailed timesheets and sprint velocity reporting available on request.
