Project-Based Hiring
Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed price—clear milestones from proposal to handover.
Engage Heloix for a defined project with documented requirements, milestone payments, and a single accountable delivery lead. Perfect for MVPs, modules, migrations, integrations, or launches with a hard deadline.
Why teams choose this model
Time-and-materials engagements feel open-ended. Internal teams get pulled to firefighting. You need a partner who will quote honestly, absorb scope clarification professionally, and deliver a signed-off artefact—not an endless backlog.
What you get
How Heloix delivers
Clarity, quality, and accountability—without the overhead of building everything in-house.
Discovery-backed proposals
We do not guess in the dark. Workshops, user flows, and technical spikes inform a written SOW with acceptance criteria you can sign.
Milestone-based payments
Cash flow friendly: pay as design, build, test, and launch phases complete—not 100% upfront. Escrow options available for enterprise.
Change control that is fair
Scope changes are documented with impact on timeline and cost before work proceeds. No surprise invoices; no passive scope creep.
Quality gates built in
Code review, automated tests, staging UAT sign-off, and optional security scan before each milestone is marked complete.
Warranty & hypercare
Post-launch defect fix window included. Optional retainer for iteration after you gather real user feedback.
Full IP handover
Repo transfer, credentials, documentation, and deployment pipelines—you own everything at final payment.
