Senior Tech Staffing — KSA Delivery Programme

The Challenge

Saudi enterprises and public sector bodies face a consistent constraint: the timeline from a recognised talent gap to a productive onsite senior engineer is typically 3–6 months through conventional channels. The screening quality from generalist agencies is low — candidates arrive misaligned on technical depth, cultural expectations, or both. The cost of a misfit at senior level is significant: onboarding investment, delayed projects, and the full search cycle repeated.

Our Solution

Cody runs a three-stage screening process before any candidate is presented: (1) HR screen — cultural orientation, availability, compensation alignment, KSA readiness; (2) Technical screen — domain-specific assessment conducted by a senior Cody engineer; (3) Cultural orientation brief — KSA workplace norms, client briefing, expectations alignment. Placements are backed by a replacement guarantee on misfits — if a placed candidate does not meet agreed performance criteria within 60 days, Cody restarts the search at no additional cost.

How We Did It

• Role brief and skills matrix agreed with the client before any sourcing begins
• Stage 1: HR screening — seniority, communication, compensation alignment, KSA readiness
• Stage 2: Technical assessment by a senior Cody engineer, benchmarked to role requirements
• Stage 3: Cultural orientation briefing — KSA workplace norms and client context
• Onsite KSA deployment with Jordan remote capacity as delivery flex — named account manager for every engagement
