How It Works

  1. Define your need — Create a vacancy or tell your Enablement Partner which role(s) you need, the required tech stack, seniority level, and start date
  2. Receive a shortlist — Scrums.com provides a curated shortlist of matching candidates immediately after you have created a vacancy
  3. Select your hire(s) — Review profiles and confirm your selection by requesting a meet and greet interview
  4. Onboarding — Scrums.com handles contracting and HR; the engineer is ready to start within 21 days or less depending on the availability of the resource you have selected
  5. Integration — The engineer joins your team’s tools, ceremonies, and workflows directly
  6. Management — You direct day-to-day work; Scrums.com provides performance support and can replace anyone who is not delivering

​
How Matching Works

When you request a team member or team, SEOP’s AI-assisted matching system evaluates candidates against:
  • Technical requirements — Stack, seniority, specialisation (e.g. React, Python, AWS, Kubernetes)
  • Timezone compatibility — Overlap with your core team’s working hours
  • Delivery model fit — Experience with your preferred methodology (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe)
  • Industry context — Familiarity with regulated sectors (FinTech, Banking, Healthcare) where relevant
A curated shortlist is delivered to your Enablement Partner within 48 hours for client review and confirmation.

​
Scaling Teams

Teams can be scaled up or down on a monthly basis. Common scaling scenarios include:
  • Adding a specialist role (e.g. DevOps Engineer) for a migration sprint
  • Increasing engineering headcount ahead of a major release
  • Reducing team size after a product launch
  • Swapping roles as tech stack requirements shift
All scaling requests are managed through your Enablement Partner. Changes take effect at the start of the following subscription month.
