What a placement should feel like, from the developer's side

Most developers have a story about an agency. It usually involves being dropped into a company, invoiced for, and never spoken to again.

We think the placement is the start of the job, not the end of it. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Zakaria's path at Follosoft

Follosoft builds management software for snow removal and landscaping companies. Their CTO, Mathieu Gratton Leclaire, needed to scale engineering fast without breaking his budget, and we placed six engineers with them through our Growth model.

One of them was Zakaria Aktouf. He came in as a fullstack engineer. Because the placement came with real onboarding, direct access to leadership, and an actual growth path, he did what strong engineers do when the conditions are right: he took on more. Today he is Follosoft's team lead, managing developers across their local and remote teams.

His words, not ours: "The internal team works continuously alongside Follosoft leadership to ensure we're given the same opportunities as their partners' own employees. I'm living proof."

What we actually do after you start

Three things, consistently:

  1. Onboarding that sticks. You know the codebase, the people, and what winning looks like in your first weeks.
  2. Someone who answers. Feedback loops and career conversations with us, on top of your day-to-day with the team.
  3. Pay without surprises. Fair, transparent, on time. We have paid out over $700k to our network.

98% of the people we place stay in their placement. That number is the product.

If you are a senior engineer and this sounds like the setup you have been looking for, introduce yourself.
