There are no setup, onboarding, placement, or upfront fees. Clients pay a single all-inclusive monthly rate per engineer once the engineer begins working. Engagements may be monthly or project-based, depending on the terms.
There is no required minimum contract and no exclusivity requirement. SkilldLabs typically recommends a three-month minimum to allow integration and delivery, while shorter or longer arrangements can be tailored to project needs. Projects typically last longer than 18 months on average.
If an engineer is not the right fit, SkilldLabs will replace the engineer at no additional cost. Most replacement requests are resolved within 5–10 business days.

- A technical screen conducted by a senior engineer in the same technology stack.
- Direct reference calls with former colleagues and managers.
Behavioral and psychological assessment is included through the English and project-review stages. A psychology-trained recruiter must approve a candidate before the candidate is presented to a client. Between 5% and 10% of applicants complete the process.
The typical hiring flow is:
- The client shares its goals, technology stack, team size, and project requirements during a 30-minute consultation.
- SkilldLabs identifies two to three pre-vetted candidates, typically within 72 hours or 48–72 hours after requirements are understood.
- The client interviews the shortlisted candidates at no cost and selects the best fit.
- SkilldLabs supports onboarding and handles contracts, payroll, and compliance.
- Ongoing support continues throughout the engagement.
The typical time from initial consultation to developer start date is 7–14 days.
