Why we're different

A staffing partner that actually does the work

Most IAM staffing comes from generalist recruiters who screen against a keyword list — they can't tell a strong SailPoint engineer from a résumé that simply says "SailPoint." We can, because we deliver IAM ourselves.

Every candidate is assessed with role-based labs and scenario interviews mapped to real platforms and standards — OIDC/SAML/SCIM, JML automation, RBAC/ABAC, SoD, vaulting, and session management. The result is a shortlist that's actually qualified, across the regulated industries where access has to hold up to an audit.

Staffing FAQ

Common questions

How are your candidates vetted?
By practitioners. Every candidate goes through role-based hands-on labs and scenario interviews mapped to the platforms and standards they'll actually work with — run by engineers who deliver IAM, not recruiters matching keywords.
How fast can we get a shortlist?
Typically 5–10 business days for critical roles — pre-vetted, so you're reviewing qualified candidates, not sifting résumés.
Contract, contract-to-hire, or direct hire?
All three. Contract to scale a delivery quickly, contract-to-hire to evaluate fit before converting, or direct hire for permanent placements. We'll advise based on your timeline and budget.
What roles and specializations do you cover?
PAM, IGA, SSO/federation, directory services, identity engineering/automation, and access governance — from analysts and engineers to architects.
Are you a staffing agency or a consultancy?
Both, in the best way: we're an IAM delivery firm that also staffs. That's why our vetting is stronger than a generalist agency's — the people screening candidates do the work themselves.
