Engagement Models:

DataCaliper has a flexible set of engagement models utilized for our staffing and consulting services offerings. These include:

On-shore, domestic resources - On-site, or remote from within the US

These resources can be engaged on a temporary contract, a contract-to-hire option, or even be brought on to join your team as full time hires immediately – Whatever works best for your organization is best for us!

Off-shore resources, deployed from our development centers in India

These resources are available as contracting consultants, and the model brings with it several advantages – some less obvious than others. The costs of this model are known to be attractive, but less obvious is the enhanced talent availability in the region. When speed or volume are concerns of our partners, this is often a great solution.

With overlapped working hours, strict oversight and guidance and the right set of tools – DataCaliper has built a valuable, outcome-focused off-shore model. Today’s connected world allows for easy collaboration across oceans – and at DataCaliper, we take full advantage of these benefits, and pass the value on to you. Your offshore team may be a continent away, but with DataCaliper’s collaborative model, it will feel like they're down the hall.

Requirement Gathering, Shortlisting, Screening and Submission Process

The moment your organization turns to DataCaliper for talent help, our process begins and our team gets to work:

Step 1: Knowledge Transfer

We start by familiarizing ourselves with your organization, the website, your mission, your products and services, and most importantly, the project at hand.

Then, we’ll work with you to identify what skills are required for each role, and why. We'll develop requirement overviews: (title, skills, expectations, start date, duration, visa requirements, interview process, etc.).

Next comes technology verification; we’ll go through your tech stack and identify the most important tools/technologies a candidate will need to be familiar with.

Step 2: Internal Planning Phase

An internal strategy meeting defines the requirements further. A list of ‘must-haves’ and ‘nice-to-haves' is developed for our recruitment team to focus on.

Formulation of “Pre-Screen” questions (asked by recruiters on the first call) and full technology screening questions (asked by our technical team during a full screening) is done at this point. These ensure candidate quality and help to identify unqualified candidates early. Our team, starting with the recruiters and including the tech team, employs a ten-metric qualification process.

Step 3: Execution

At this point, armed with information, our recruiters get to work. We have developed a strong network of tens of thousands of engineers, through social media, past clients, our current bench, and through personal/professional connections. This ‘warm-bench’ helps ensure responsiveness, quality and speed.

Step 4: Internal Processing

Once found all candidates face a technical screening tailored to the specific needs for a given role. These conversations happen over video conference and are used to analyze technical knowledge, technical communication skills, experience level, etc.

Candidates then speak with account managers for a second screening which we call a ‘deliverability’ check. Questions are asked about their feelings on relocation (if required), overall interest in the role and company, their work history and recent employment, etc. Also, an analysis of soft skills, like communication and co-operation, is performed.

All of this helps us decide the overall likelihood that a candidate can actually be delivered to a client, and if the resource can perform well as a member of the team once there.

Step 5: Submission

Only after all of these steps are completed, and all screenings passed, is a resume ever submitted to our partners. This means any candidate you see carries our full confidence in their technical skill-level, soft-skills and communication abilities, as well as a having a genuine interest in, and a cultural fit with, your company. It is because of these standards that we can boast an industry unique 3 to 1 submission to hire rate.
