Engagement model
Specialist technology talent, ready to join your team.
Add screened technology professionals for a project, skill gap or longer-term need. You direct the work while Hinkor manages sourcing, screening, contracting, continuity and replacement support.
Overview
How this works in practice.
Talent Solutions gives clients access to screened technology professionals for contract, contract-to-hire, augmentation and short-term specialist needs.
The model is designed for situations where the client already owns delivery and needs additional capacity or skills. You direct daily work and accept the output. Hinkor defines the requirement with you, sources and screens candidates, manages contracting and administration and supports continuity throughout the engagement.
Technical screening is supported by Hinkor's engineering and consulting practices, so candidates for specialist roles are assessed by people who understand the work. Engagement check-ins and an agreed replacement process help maintain fit after onboarding.
The result is specialist capacity that can join your team without turning Hinkor into another delivery layer between you and the work.

FAQ
Questions about talent solutions
If your question is not here, ask it directly.
Ask a direct questionWho manages the professional day to day?
You do. Your managers assign work, set priorities, provide technical direction and accept the output. Hinkor manages sourcing, contracting, administration, engagement health and replacement support.
How is this different from a Dedicated Delivery Team?
With Talent Solutions, you manage the work and Hinkor supplies individual professionals or augmented capacity. With a Dedicated Delivery Team, Hinkor manages the team and is accountable for delivery of an agreed workstream or outcome.
Can a contractor become our permanent employee?
Yes, through a contract-to-hire model when agreed in advance. The conversion process, timing and any applicable fee are defined in the engagement terms and remain subject to employment law and the professional's agreement.
How do you assess technical skills?
A relevant Hinkor practitioner reviews technical depth for specialist roles, using structured discussion, practical exercises or work examples as appropriate. You can also conduct your own interviews before selection.
How quickly can someone join?
It depends on the role, seniority, location, availability and checks required. We provide a realistic sourcing and start timeline after the requirement is defined.
Can professionals work from our location or remotely?
Yes. On-site, remote and hybrid arrangements can be supported where talent availability and applicable employment, tax, immigration, data and client-site requirements allow. The arrangement is confirmed during scoping.
What happens if someone leaves or is not the right fit?
Hinkor reviews the concern with you and the professional, agrees any immediate action and begins a replacement search under the notice and replacement terms in the agreement.
