How it works
- 01

They start
We introduce you and agree the start date. We stay your contact while they work.
Two ways to work with each person
You decide for each person on your shortlist, so you can mix both on the same team.
Hire directly
They work for you, on your own contract.
- We introduce you and hand them over
- They join your team on your terms
- You manage their work, admin and payments
- Best when you want them for the long run
Let SDK manage them
They work on your project, under our contract.
- They join your project under SDK's contract
- We handle the paperwork, admin and payments
- If it does not work out, we find a replacement
- Best when you want to start fast with no admin

Questions before you hire
How should we assess this role?
Ask for a plan to reproduce a legacy defect, protect existing behaviour and roll back an upgrade. State your PHP version and framework before matching.
What does vetted mean?
Our engineers review each person's work history and technical fit for your need before proposing them. You see their experience, skills and why we picked them before you decide.
Can I mix both options?
Yes. You choose per person, so one person can join you directly while another works under SDK's contract.
What to put in your brief
A rough idea is enough to start. These details help us send the right people.

Hire a specialist or commission the work
SDK Enterprises also audits, builds and maintains client software across the technologies we hire for, and provides consulting for agile teams. Choose a person when you can direct the assignment. Choose a project when you need an agreed result owned by SDK. SDK-managed staffing covers the agreed engagement; it does not automatically include responsibility for a whole project.
