How it works

Step 1

Tell us who you need

We don’t put up job postings. Provide us with the skill sets you need to hire for and we’ll go find talent that aligns the best with you.

Step 2

Get truly exceptional candidates

Receive a list of vetted, high-quality candidates that have passed our behavioral and technical interviews. Feel free to run your own process as well.

Step 3

Make the offer

In under 10 days, hire your chosen candidate. You can hire the traditional way, or take advantage of our Employer of Record service. This means less risk and less paperwork for you.

Step 1

Collaborate to define requirements

We dive deep to build context so we can fully understand your needs, preferences, and goals. We then solidify critical aspects of the product build, including features, timeline, cost, and check-in cadence. This ensures everyone involved in the process is on the same page and can confidently move forward.

Step 2

Build to specifications

Our in-house team will execute and manage the entire build, and deliver an end result that aligns to requirements and is fully tested.

Step 3

Delivery and ongoing maintenance

Once the product is finished, you can rely on us to continue to maintain it and provide updates upon request. We provide ongoing support to ensure that your product continues to perform at its best.

Step 1

Determine the purpose

We first work with the vendor’s client to determine the solution’s intended use case. We provide recommendations to create aholistic view of the most optimal path to implement.

Step 2

Align on approach

We agree on critical aspects of the implementation, including milestones, timeline, cost, and check-in cadence. We work with you and your team at every step in order to stay aligned with ideal outcomes.

Step 3

Delivery and ongoing maintenance

Once the solution is implemented, you can rely on us to provide maintenance, support, and updates upon request. We can also provide training manuals, documentation, and programs to help if needed.

Lightci FAQs

Answers to our most commonly asked Qs.

How is Lightci able to work with such prestigious brands?

We care deeply about our clients success and have a highly specialized approach. Our team is made up of tech veterans that are domain experts first and everything else second. This means that when we find talent or build products, we are able to achieve results that other firms would not be able to. Again, we’re by engineers, for everyone.

We refuse to use outside help, so why should we start with Lightci?

While we understand your reluctance, partnering with us brings significant executional and financial upside. Hiring engineers and building products are a time-consuming and challenging process, but we make it easy. In fact, we have been the first external firm that some of our clients worked with (like Brex) because of our ability to build great products and recruit top-tier software engineering talent quickly.

We already have great in-house functional team, so why use Lightci?

As you can imagine, our major clients (Apple, Google) have very strong in-house teams. Yet, they still work with us in a big way. It is difficult for in-house teams to consistently get in front of top talent, and nearly impossible for them to do so in under 10 days. The best engineers rarely respond to talent generalists, but do respond to ex-startup founders that have had well-known exits.

We already work with other external firms, so why use Lightci?

Our quality is high. We have a close to 100% talent retention rate and our clients have scaled their work with us. Our laser-focus on tech talent, combined with our quality network of vetted candidates allows us to quickly identify and attract top-tier talent. We also build long-term friendships with both our talent network and clients, which sets us apart substantially from other firms.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR), and why does it make working with Lightci easy?

An EOR is a third-party entity that serves as the legal employer for a contractor or employee, handling tasks such as payroll, taxes, and benefits. By working with us as your EOR, you enjoy the benefits of hiring anyone without the administrative and legal burdens of employment. This allows you to focus on your core business instead of being slowed down by internal approvals or busywork.
