Dedicated Network Engineers
A candidate who reads well and interviews well can still be unable to reason about your Avaya Aura architecture under pressure. We move that discovery to before the offer.
The risk in a permanent specialist hire sits in an interview process that cannot detect the failure mode. It usually surfaces in month three, during an incident.
Dedicated moves that discovery to before the offer. Lumensoft sources the candidate and a practicing Solution Architect conducts the technical interview; you receive the written assessment alongside the name.
You employ the engineer directly — direct hire, W2, 1099 or contract-to-hire — for a one-time fee, backed by a 30-day hiring guarantee and a 90-day replacement guarantee.
Recruitment & Staffing — the first of three service lines. Recruitment gives you the people; Professional & Managed Services does the work for you; Consultancy decides what work should be done.
What that costs you
Why the usual answer fails
The risk in a permanent specialist hire is concentrated in an interview process that is not equipped to detect the failure mode. Generalist recruitment firms match resumes to keywords and hope the engineer performs. On specialist voice and network roles, that hope is frequently misplaced.
How we work
We source the candidate and a practicing Solution Architect conducts the technical interview before you see a name — assessing real depth in Cisco CUCM, Avaya CM/Aura, Teams Direct Routing or network automation rather than resume keywords. You receive the written assessment with the candidate.
Scoping a permanent role well usually means asking:
What you receive
How it is bought
A one-time hiring fee scoped to the role. No ongoing rate, because you employ the engineer. Confirmed in the proposal within 24 hours of the assessment.
Specializations
A team member who builds institutional knowledge and stays.
Core technical hires where retention and cultural fit matter.
Network staff for always-on clinical environments.
Technical validation for direct-hire roles you cannot assess.
You are likely in scope if any of these is true:
30-day hiring guarantee from a fully scoped role. 90-day replacement at no additional hiring fee.
Common questions
Here you employ the engineer and carry the administration; we source and validate for a one-time fee. On Co-Managed we remain the employer and you pay monthly. Co-Managed carries the 7-day shortlist guarantee; Dedicated carries the 30-day hiring guarantee.
From a fully scoped role, we commit to delivering a qualified hire within 30 days.
If the hire does not work out within 90 days, we source a replacement with no additional hiring fee.
Identically to every other engagement. A practicing Solution Architect assesses real technical depth before you see the name, and you receive that assessment with the candidate.
Yes, after a defined evaluation period, with terms set in the original statement of work.
We manage the process through to offer acceptance. The employment relationship is yours from day one.
It depends on duration and who should carry the employment. Hire directly when the role is permanent and the knowledge needs to stay in-house — that is the Dedicated model, a one-time fee with a 30-day hiring guarantee and 90-day replacement guarantee. Use Co-Managed when the work has an end date, or when you want the engineer directed by your team but employed by someone else.
