Services

Talent services, built around the work.

From a single specialist to a dedicated team, permanent hires to fractional leadership - and vetted South African engineers for UK and European teams. Pick the shape that fits; the vetting bar is the same.

Which model fits

Match the work to the model, not the other way round.

Most teams arrive with a problem, not a product name - a short capacity gap, a permanent hire, a whole team to build, senior direction that is missing. The six services below solve different shapes of that problem. Here is how they compare, so you can point at the one that fits before you talk to us.

Service	Best when	Commitment	Who runs the work
Staff augmentation	A deadline or a missing skill needs filling now, without adding permanent headcount.	A sprint to a year	You do - engineers work under your direction, in your process.
Permanent recruitment	A long-term role needs the right person, matched on technical depth and team fit.	Permanent hire	You do - the hire joins your team and payroll.
Hire dedicated developers	A whole product or workstream needs its own team, not a scatter of separate hires.	A defined build, ongoing	We assemble and run the team to your brief; you set direction.
Nearshore software development from South Africa	You want nearshore engineers whose working day overlaps the UK and Europe, employed compliantly.	Permanent or long-term	You do - Pype is the employer of record.
Talent strategy	You need workforce planning and a capability view before hiring, not just people.	Advisory partnership	Advisory - we guide the plan; the decisions stay yours.
Fractional CTO	You need senior engineering leadership without the cost of a full-time exec.	Part-time, ongoing	We lead the technical direction part-time, alongside your team.
