Four ways we work, one bar.

For companies hiring engineers onto their own teams. We source, screen, and submit candidates matched to the technical bar and the team's working style. Roles span junior to principal across the full software, data, and infrastructure stack. Fee-based, success-contingent, with replacement guarantees on permanent placements.

For project-based, surge, or specialized engineering needs. We engage engineers as W-2 employees, 1099 contractors, or through C2C arrangements depending on what works for the role and the candidate. Standard contract, contract-to-hire, and statement-of-work structures supported.

For Tier-1 staffing firms and prime vendors with open requisitions, MSP/VMS commitments, or overflow capacity needs. Edition operates as a compliant sub-vendor with the paperwork, insurance, and turnaround expected at that tier. We respect your client relationship — no end-runs, no rate shopping — and we deliver candidates your account managers can put forward without a second read.

Already lined up a contract role and just need a payroll vehicle? Edition can be your W-2 employer of record or your C2C counterparty. Competitive rates, transparent margin, fast onboarding — useful when the client wants you on a vendor payroll rather than direct, or when you'd rather not stand up your own LLC for a single engagement.
