Hire by the Hour
Pay only for logged time against tasks you have approved, with no minimum weekly commitment and a detailed timesheet on every invoice.
50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.
Committing to a fixed block for irregular work wastes budget
Small fixes, occasional reviews and one-off tasks rarely need a reserved weekly block. Paying for logged time only keeps the cost matched to the actual work.
Billing tied to logged, approved tasks
Every hour billed is logged against a task you have approved, so the invoice reflects work completed rather than time reserved but unused.
- No minimum weekly commitment.
- Every invoice includes a detailed timesheet.
- Scales up or down with your actual workload.
The same person, moved to a dedicated block if work grows
If hourly work trends toward a steady weekly pattern, the same person can move to Dedicated Part-Time or Full-Time Resource, keeping context instead of restarting with someone new.
- Same person carries context forward.
- No re-hiring cost if scope grows.
- Move models without losing the relationship.
Every hour tied to a task you approved
Illustrative example. Your actual timesheet depends on the tasks worked that week.

How Hourly Hiring Works
From an approved task to a logged, billed hour. Here is how we match specialists and track every hourly engagement.
Matching, approval and logging, in that order
A specialist matched to the kind of tasks you send
We match a specialist by the skills relevant to your expected task types, so the first tasks do not need a lengthy ramp-up.
- Matched to your expected task types.
- Technical screening before matching.
- Available within the first week in most cases.
Nothing starts until you approve it
Each task is submitted for your approval before work begins, so scope and expected effort are clear before any hours are logged.
- Tasks scoped before approval.
- Clear expected effort per task.
- No surprise scope creep mid-task.
A timesheet you can check against every invoice
Hours are logged against each approved task, and every invoice includes the timesheet showing what was worked on and for how long.
- Hours logged per task, not in bulk.
- Timesheet included with every invoice.
- Easy to audit against approved scope.
