We only work with partners who employ IT talent directly. Our partners offer a discounted rate due to less sales effort and lower risk. We know the market price levels better than anyone. With our vetted companies and talents, there’s less risk of a bad hire.
When East is involved, the expectations on both sides are better managed, and the likelihood of finding a perfect match is higher. We vet and shortlist all talents so they have a good likelihood of getting accepted. This means less work for our clients and a smaller risk of a bad hire. Our partners also share better talent when they know that a client is vetted by East.
With East, all parties sign an NDA which includes anti-poaching, confidentiality, and non-competition clauses, making it easier to share information and get to know the potential experts. We serve everyone with the same confidentiality, and we work only with trusted partner companies.
