Why Talent.ID

Most of what makes hiring hard is not the hiring.

It is everything that arrives with the person afterwards — the employment, the payroll, the benefits, the administration. Talent.ID takes that half and leaves you the engineering.

  1. We will tell you when we are not the answer.

    Availability is confirmed per engagement, before anything is committed. If we cannot staff what you need, you hear it while you still have time to solve it another way — not in month two, when it has become your problem as well as ours.

    Capability confirmed per engagement

  2. You keep the engineering.

    The product, the roadmap, the architecture, the priorities, the standards and the daily technical work stay with your team. That is not a courtesy — it is what distinguishes this from outsourcing, and it does not change once the engagement starts.

  3. We keep the employment.

    The engineers are Talent.ID employees. We run their payroll, provide their benefits and hold the ongoing employment relationship. You brief them like colleagues and never touch a payroll system.

    Employment, payroll and benefits sit with Talent.ID

  4. Built for a year, not a sprint.

    The standard minimum engagement is 12 months. Context is the expensive part of any engineering hire, and it is only worth paying for once — which is why this suits a year of roadmap rather than a two-week gap.

    Standard minimum: 12 months

  5. They join a team, not a headcount line.

    Engineers are introduced by role, stack and domain, interviewed by you, and briefed like anyone else who joins.

    You interview before anyone joins

You keep every decision that makes it your product.

The lists are different lengths on purpose. You are gaining capacity, not handing over control.

Your team owns

  • Product
  • Business priorities
  • Roadmap
  • Architecture
  • Sprint priorities
  • Engineering standards
  • Day-to-day technical collaboration

Talent.ID owns

  • Employment relationship
  • Payroll
  • Employee benefits
  • Talent administration
  • Ongoing employee relationship

Where the line sits, compared with the alternatives.

Every one of these is the right answer for some situation. The difference is who employs the engineer and who directs the work.

Talent.ID engineers work with Tokio Marine Group.

Good engineering starts with good engineers.

Everything above is an arrangement. The reason any of it matters is that the person who joins your standup on a Monday morning is a professional with a career, and treating them that way is the only reliable way to keep them on your team for a year.
