The Process

One Call. Two Tracks.
One Contract.

Whether you need an AI agent built or an engineer placed — or both — it starts with the same scoping call. We figure out the right engagement and handle the rest.

It Always Starts Here

1

Book a Scoping Call

30 minutes. Tell us what you're trying to automate, who you need to hire, or both. We ask questions, assess the fit, and within 48 hours send back a scoped proposal — whether that's an agent build spec or a candidate brief.

Then Choose Your Track

Both tracks run under one contract. Mix and match as your needs evolve.

AI Agent Track
2

Scoped Proposal

We return a scoped build proposal within 48 hours — what we'll build, how it will work, timeline, and cost. Fixed-scope or T&M depending on complexity.

3

Build & Test

We build the agent and test it against real-world conditions. You're involved in the feedback loop — not waiting for a demo at the end.

4

Handoff or Retain

We hand off with documentation, or continue running and improving the agent on a retainer. Your choice — we're built for either.

Engineering Talent Track
2

Candidate Brief

We return a candidate brief within 48 hours and begin sourcing from our pre-vetted global network. No job boards — we're pulling from an existing pool of screened engineers.

3

Review & Interview

You receive 2–3 profiles with technical assessment results, code samples, and communication scores. Interview who you want. No charge until you've found someone you want to hire.

4

Contracts & Start

One contract with HarborTechAI. IP assignment and NDA signed before day one. Your engineer starts within the week. 30-day fit guarantee included.

We Back Every Engagement

48hr
Response Time

We respond to every inquiry within 48 hours and return a scoped proposal or candidate brief within 48 hours of the call.

30
Day Guarantee

Engineering placements come with a 30-day fit guarantee. If it isn't right, we replace them at no cost.

1
Contract & Invoice

One agreement regardless of how many engineers you hire, how many agents we build, or which mix you use.

How We Compare to Alternatives

Every hiring and automation approach has tradeoffs. Here's an honest comparison.

vs. Freelance Platforms

Platforms put the vetting on you. You review hundreds of applications or Fiverr gigs. With us, you review 2–3 pre-screened finalists — engineers or agent specs.

vs. AI Agencies

Most AI agencies build agents they've never run themselves. We only offer agents we've already shipped and run in our own operations. You know exactly what you're getting.

vs. US Direct Hire

A US direct hire takes 4–12 weeks and costs 15–25% of salary in recruiter fees. We place in 5–10 days with a 30-day guarantee and no placement fee.
