More than a CV

What hiring through us
includes for your team.

01

Vetting you don't have to repeat

Everyone we put forward is already on our own team, delivering client work. We never find CVs just for your brief. They have passed our technical screening and, more usefully, real client projects. You interview to confirm the fit, not to do the filtering yourself.

Before shortlist
02

The person and the support around them

Engineers come with the support that keeps them productive. A PixelCrayons account team handles coordination and escalation. Sprint planning and demos happen every week, and QA checks work before it reaches your review. You set priorities and direction. We keep everything around your hire running.

Every week
03

We answer for the results

PixelCrayons delivers the people and stays your point of contact and escalation for the whole engagement. If a sprint slips, we fix it with more support, a better process or a different person. You don't have to renegotiate. That is the difference from hiring a freelancer: someone besides you is responsible.

Contractual
04

IP, NDA and security terms

Everything built is work-for-hire: code, prompts, pipelines and documentation are assigned to you, in writing, from day one. NDAs are standard before we see anything sensitive. Access is given through your systems, and you can remove it. For agencies, the white-label rules apply: your brand, and we stay out of sight.

From day one
05

A replacement policy in writing

If a person isn't right, say so and we propose another. Because they come from an existing team, a swap is a simple conversation. We won't promise endless specialists on standby. A replacement needs a real handover. Your work keeps going because of the team and its written notes, not because people are interchangeable.

If needed
Brief to sprint

From role brief
to shipped work.

01
Start

Brief the role

We sign an NDA and talk through what you're building, the stack and who you need.

02
Once the brief is complete

Proposal and interview

We confirm the date your proposal arrives, with a shortlist from our team. You interview them before anything is signed.

03
Your decision

You sign off

You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.

04
On the agreed start date

First sprint

The work starts with a real sprint on real tasks, so you judge the fit on finished work as well as interviews.

05
Every month

Scale either way

Keep the person, add another, grow into a full team, or stop cleanly with everything written up and handed over.

Briefing the role

Which AI role to ask for,
before we shortlist.

Most AI work needs parts of several skills. Name the gap clearly, and we can put forward a short list of people from our team instead of a pile of CVs.

Inside Prism

Your specialist, week to week,
in your workspace.

Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.

Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, the specialist you hire works inside your workspace: their tasks, their routines and the weekly review live where you can see them.

See how Prism runs an engagementHow the trial works →

Interview the person first · Scale monthly · Their work lives in your workspace

  • 01

    Their tasks, owned and dated

    Every task the specialist takes on has their name and a date on it, in your workspace, not in a report about it.

  • 02

    Requests and approvals, in one place

    Raise a request in your workspace, approve a piece of work, and see who owns it and when it is due.

  • 03

    A weekly review with decisions recorded

    Each decision is written down with the expectation attached: what we expect to change, and by when.

  • 04

    Every action recorded, checked against the outcome

    What we did and what happened sit side by side, so the next review starts from evidence rather than memory.

How we report it, in Prism

The bench profile,
before you commit to a person.

What you receive in month one

Hiring through us is reported as named people doing named work. Before anything is signed you receive the bench profile of the specialist proposed: their shipped work, described under NDA where a client requires it, the interview with them on your calendar, and a second profile to meet if the first is not the fit. Once they start, the weekly review in Prism lists what they shipped, what is in review and what they are blocked on.

  • 01Bench profile: the named specialist, their seniority, and the work they own
  • 02Shipped work: what they have delivered, described under NDA where a client requires it
  • 03Interview: your questions, their answers, and the fit call made by you
  • 04Second profile: another specialist to meet if the first is not the fit
  • 05Weekly review in Prism: shipped, in review, blocked, per person

Build with us instead

Rather buy the outcome than the people?

Finished projects, such as chatbots, automation, knowledge systems and personalisation, are scoped as projects with a set result. If you'd rather scope a build than run a team, start with the AI services. A team makes sense when the gap is wider than one role.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Often you should do both. Hire in-house when the work is permanent and central to your product. Then the months a senior AI search takes are worth it. Hire through us when the workload may change or one person isn't enough. Many clients use us as a bridge while they build their permanent team.

A freelancer is one person, carrying all the risk of one person. Hiring through us gets you the person and the support around them. That means a PixelCrayons account team, weekly sprints and QA before work reaches you. A company is also bound by contract to deliver. If your engineer is ill, away or not right, that's ours to solve.

The engineers come from our Vinove group engineering team. PixelCrayons scopes the role, writes the one proposal and is your contact throughout. You contract with PixelCrayons, and we answer for every commitment on this page. The proposal states who holds the contract and the notice period. Everything they build for you is work-for-hire, assigned to you in writing.

We typically reply within four business hours. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm when your proposal arrives. Shortlists come from our existing team, not a search from scratch. So the usual months of finding people aren't part of the timeline.

Yes, through our team. That covers LLM (large language model) work, prompt engineering and RAG systems that answer from your own documents. It also covers testing, safety limits, MLOps, deployment and data engineering. And it covers the full-stack work that turns a model into a product. We work with any model or cloud, so people join your setup. If we can't staff something well, we'll tell you at the brief.

Tell us, ideally in the weekly review, where a poor fit shows early. We replace the person from our team, with a real handover from the team's notes and no renegotiation. We don't promise instant swaps from an endless supply of specialists. We do promise that a wrong fit is our problem to fix.

Tell us who your
team is missing.

Describe the role to PixelCrayons in a short call. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your proposal. We deliver the talent. The first sprint tests the fit on real work before you commit to anything longer.
