Timeline & Speed
How fast can staffing agencies place remote developers?
Hide answer
Placement speed varies by agency size, talent pool, and role complexity. Here's what to expect:
Typical timelines:
| Phase | Duration |
|---|---|
| Requirements gathering | 1-2 days |
| Candidate sourcing | 3-7 days |
| Agency vetting | 3-5 days |
| Present candidates | Day 7-14 |
| Client interviews | 3-7 days |
| Offer and acceptance | 2-3 days |
| Notice period | 2-4 weeks |
| Total to start | 4-8 weeks |
Factors that speed things up:
•Common tech stack (React, Node, Python)
•Mid-level seniority (seniors are pickier)
•Flexible requirements
•Fast client interview process
•Candidates with short/no notice periods
Factors that slow things down:
•Rare skills (Rust, specific frameworks)
•Very senior roles (Staff+, Architects)
•Specific industry experience required
•Multiple interview rounds
•Candidates with long notice periods (common in LATAM)
Volume capacity:
•Small agencies: 3-5 placements/month
•Mid-size agencies: 10-15 placements/month
•Large agencies: 20-30+ placements/month
Rush options:
Some agencies can expedite for urgent needs:
•Tap "warm" candidates from recent searches
•Prioritize candidates with short notice periods
•Parallel processing of multiple candidates
BEON.tech typically presents candidates within 1-2 weeks and can place 15-20 engineers per month.
