IT Technology Staffing
Pre-vetted senior engineers. Deployed in 48 hours.
Works With Your Entire Stack
The Problem
Why Teams Struggle
Hiring a senior DevOps or SRE engineer takes 4–6 months and costs $180k+ in salary alone. Add recruiter fees (20–25% of first-year salary), onboarding time, and the risk of a bad hire costing 30% of annual compensation — and you're looking at $250k+ before the engineer writes a single Terraform module. Meanwhile, your infrastructure backlog grows.
Our Approach
How CloudLink Solves This
CloudLink maintains a curated bench of 200+ senior engineers — DevOps, SRE, Cloud Architects, Platform Engineers, and Security specialists — all pre-vetted with technical assessments, reference checks, and real-world project validation. We deploy the right engineer to your team within 48 hours on contract, contract-to-hire, or direct placement terms.
What's Included
Features & Deliverables
Vetted Talent Pool
Every engineer passes a 4-stage vetting process: technical assessment, system design interview, reference validation, and a paid trial project. Less than 8% of applicants make it through.
48-Hour Deployment
Once you define the role requirements, we present 3–5 matched candidates within 48 hours. No weeks of sourcing, screening, and scheduling.
Skill-Matched Engineers
Our matching algorithm considers tech stack, industry experience, seniority level, timezone, and team culture fit. Not just keyword matching.
Flexible Engagement Models
Contract (hourly/weekly), contract-to-hire (3–6 month trial), or direct placement. Switch models mid-engagement if your needs change.
Compliance & Payroll Handled
We handle W-2/1099 classification, payroll, benefits, insurance, and tax compliance. You focus on building — we handle the paperwork.
90-Day Performance Guarantee
If a placed engineer doesn't meet expectations within 90 days, we replace them at no additional cost. Zero risk.

"We needed 3 senior DevOps engineers for a cloud migration with a hard deadline. CloudLink presented qualified candidates in 36 hours. All three are still with us 18 months later. That's unheard of in IT staffing."Rachel H., VP Engineering — Enterprise HealthTech
