Dedicated IT engineers, built into your team.
We place bench-ready, pre-vetted IT engineers directly into your MSP or IT team within days. You direct the work; we carry payroll, contracts, HR and replacement. Infrastructure, cloud, networking, security, support and developers.
Call it talent as a service, IT staff augmentation, outsourced engineers or contractors — it’s skilled people built into your team, on any shift, including dedicated after-hours and 24/7 cover.
IT engineers for every layer of your stack.

- 30,000+ engineers across infrastructure, cloud, security and dev
- Matched on skills, stack and seniority, scored to your brief
- Human-led screening, backed by our own matching tools
now
A permanent hire is a bet. This isn’t.
You get the engineer in your MSP now, and you decide on permanence later, once they’ve proven themselves on your work, not in an interview.
Swap for non-performance, any time
Not the right fit? We swap the engineer at any point in the contract, not just a 3-month window. No fee, no dismissal process, no gap in cover while you start again.
Convert to permanent at the end
When the term ends, take them on permanently if you want to. You've worked alongside them for months, so you're hiring a known quantity rather than a CV and a good interview.
We carry the employment
Payroll, contracts, HR, sick cover and compliance all sit with us. You direct the work day to day; we hold the risk and the admin that comes with an employee.
From brief to offer, matched to your stack.
Human recruiters, backed by our own screening and matching tools, so a role is scoped, matched and shortlisted in days rather than weeks.
From brief to deployed engineer in under a week.
You brief us
Tell us the role, skills, budget and experience you need. A 15-minute call is enough to start.
We match from our pool
We source, screen and shortlist engineers from our 30,000-strong pool against your brief.
You interview
Meet your top 2-3 candidates. You interview, you choose who fits your team.
They start
Embedded in your team within days. We manage payroll, contracts and HR from day one.

Days
Weeks to monthsYour engineer. Our paperwork.
We don’t just find an engineer and disappear. We manage the whole relationship, onboarding, performance, HR, payroll, contracts. If they don’t work out, we swap them, with no additional fee and no gap in cover.
And because we also run white-label helpdesks for MSPs, we already understand your environment. An engineer placed into an existing helpdesk client has near-zero ramp-up, we know the systems, the users and the culture.
Got Questions? We've Got Answers!
Pricing varies by seniority and specialization. No placement fees, no hidden costs, just a predictable monthly rate. Book a call and we'll quote for the roles you need.
Typically under 14 days from initial brief to engineer starting. For roles we have pre-vetted candidates for, it can be under 7 days.
We swap them, at any point in the contract, not just an early window, and with no additional fee. You get a replacement without the gap in cover or the dismissal process you'd face with a direct hire.
Yes. At the end of the term you can convert a dedicated engineer to a permanent employee. You've worked with them for months by then, so it's a far lower-risk hire than recruiting a stranger.
You do. They're embedded in your team, working on your priorities. We handle everything else, contracts, payroll, HR, performance management, and a swap if one is needed.
With Tech Recruitment we find you a permanent hire and you employ them from day one, with a 3-month replacement guarantee. With Dedicated Engineers we employ them, you direct the work, you can swap them at any time, and you only go permanent if and when you choose to.
Yes. Talent as a Service, IT staff augmentation, outsourced engineers and dedicated contractors are all names for the same thing: skilled engineers embedded in your team while we handle the employment. Whatever you call it, you get the people without the hiring, payroll or HR overhead.
Yes. Dedicated engineers can work any shift, including dedicated after-hours and out-of-hours cover, weekends and full 24/7 rotations across time zones, remote or onsite, wherever your clients are.
Yes, and it's lower risk than a traditional contractor or outsourcing arrangement. We employ the engineer, so there's no IR35 or misclassification exposure for you, you can swap them at any time, and you can convert them to a permanent hire when you're ready.
Drop in a dedicated Supportwave engineer, embedded in your team in days rather than the months a permanent hire takes. We employ them and handle payroll and HR; you direct the work and can convert them to permanent later. It closes the gap immediately, with no recruitment fee.
Two ways, under one partner. For ongoing cover, a dedicated engineer based in the region joins your team. For visits and projects, our SLA onsite service dispatches a vetted field engineer to the site, across 30+ countries, so you can say yes to clients wherever they are.
