How fast can you really hire?
For most roles, you'll receive a shortlist of 3–5 pre-vetted candidates within 48 hours. Technical and senior roles may take 3–5 business days for a thorough vetting process. Urgent requests can be fast-tracked to same-day shortlists for common roles.
Sourcing happens in parallel regardless of team size — we can find 5 candidates as fast as 1. The main variable is onboarding: teams of 3+ may be onboarded in phases over 1–2 extra weeks to ensure each member gets proper setup and integration support.
Zedtreeo handles: NDA and IP agreements, tool and system access setup, communication channel integration, introduction to your team, and a dedicated account manager for the first 30 days. You focus on domain training — we handle everything else.
Urgent hiring pulls from our pre-vetted ready-to-deploy talent pool. These are candidates who've already completed technical assessments and are available to start within 48 hours. The trade-off: smaller candidate pool, so less choice — but faster deployment.
Every hire starts with a free 5-day trial. If the candidate isn't right, you pay nothing and we provide a replacement at no additional cost. Even after the trial, our replacement guarantee covers you for the first 30 days.
Freelance marketplaces (Upwork, Fiverr) are fast for one-off tasks but slow for dedicated team members — you spend days screening, testing, and managing. Zedtreeo provides pre-vetted, full-time dedicated staff with management support, making the effective time-to-productivity 2–3x faster.
