Jump to a step
Discovery
You tell us the role, experience level, tech stack, and team culture in a 15-minute call.
Discovery calls are short on purpose. We ask the specific questions that change the shortlist — seniority, tools, working hours, meeting cadence, and the single trait that would make a hire obviously right or obviously wrong.
You leave the call with a written brief we've confirmed with you. Nothing moves forward until the brief is right.
- 15-minute working call with the founder
- Written brief sent same day for your sign-off
- Role-scoped NDA available on request
- Free — no commitment until you approve a candidate
Sourcing & Vetting
We tap our Middle Eastern talent network and run every candidate through The Obelisk Vetting Process.
Sourcing draws from our active network across Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia — engineers, designers, marketers, and operators who have already opted in to work with Canadian companies on an EST-overlapping schedule.
Every candidate on a shortlist has cleared a multi-stage evaluation. We flag trade-offs up front — no gold-plating, no surprises on call.
Branded Process
The Obelisk Vetting Process
CV & Portfolio Review
Manual review against the written brief — no resume keyword filters. Flags experience gaps honestly.
Technical / Craft Assessment
Role-scoped task: code challenge for engineers, design brief for creatives, written exercise for marketers. Time-boxed and representative of real work.
Behavioral Interview
30–45 minutes with the founder. Communication, async discipline, problem-framing, and Western business fluency.
AI-Assisted Scoring & Reference Check
Structured scoring across skills, communication, and fit, calibrated against our network baseline. Two references called before the shortlist.
- CV and portfolio review against the written brief
- Technical or craft assessment scoped to the role
- Behavioral interview with founder present
- Reference check and right-to-work verification
Client Introduction
You receive a shortlist of 2–3 pre-vetted candidates with CVs, work samples, and our assessment notes.
The shortlist is short on purpose. Three candidates with honest trade-off notes beats twelve CVs you have to triage. Each profile includes what the candidate is strong at, where they're still growing, and our read on how they'd fit your specific team.
You interview the ones you want. We schedule, you assess, we debrief. Decision stays with you.
- 2–3 candidates per shortlist, not a CV firehose
- Assessment notes — strengths, gaps, fit read
- Interviews scheduled around your calendar
- No placement fee — pricing is flat monthly only
Onboarding & Management
We handle contracts, payroll, HR, and ongoing support. Your hire starts within 10 days of the brief.
Once you pick a candidate, we handle the operational surface so you can focus on the work. One B2B contract in CAD, HR compliance handled on our side, and a dedicated account contact for anything that comes up after day one.
If a hire doesn't work out in the first 30 days, we replace them at no additional cost. We also replace on request outside that window — our retention record depends on it.
- One B2B contract, CAD invoicing
- Payroll and HR compliance handled on our side
- Tech and equipment setup coordinated
- 30-day replacement guarantee, ongoing account support
