Perpetum Contractor Sourcing

The Problem

Contractor Sourcing

Project work moves fast. You need the right specialist yesterday – someone who can hit the ground running, deliver to a brief, and exit cleanly when the project ends. The time you spend searching is time the project isn’t moving.

The obvious answer is a platform – Upwork, Toptal, or similar. Fast, self-serve, and full of profiles that look right on paper. But a platform puts the vetting on you. No pre-screening, no accountability, and no recourse when the person who looked great in the interview delivers something that isn’t.

We source from our established global partner network – contractors we know, have worked with, or have vetted directly. Every specialist goes through pre-screening before they reach you. And once the project is underway, if something isn’t working, you have one person to call – not a support ticket.

FAQ

Can you design the team composition if we only have a project description?

Yes – that’s a common starting point. Give us a high-level brief and we’ll recommend the roles, seniority levels, and team structure needed to deliver it.

No minimum or maximum – engagements are scoped to the project. Most run 3–9 months but we’ve supported both shorter sprints and multi-year programmes.

Yes – if a contractor proves to be the right long-term fit, we can discuss transitioning them to Staff Augmentation, EOR or Contractor of Record. Just flag it early so we can structure the engagement correctly.

No – we source across Eastern Europe, Latin America and India – through our established partner network. The decision is with the client, if he has a prefference or budget constraint. We will advise on market differences on our discovery call. 

Rates usualy start from $25/hour and can go up to $50 for Seniors from a prime location and $60+/hour for leadership or niche roles. Every engagement is scoped and agreed upfront before work begins. Budget constraints are considered. 

We replace them. Our partner network gives us depth – if someone isn’t delivering to expectations, we move quickly to find the right replacement without derailing the project timeline.

Typically within 1–2 weeks of receiving the brief, depending on role complexity and market. We’ll give you a realistic timeline on the discovery call.

Yes – IP assignment and confidentiality clauses are included in contractor engagement documents as standard. We recommend this for any contractor accessing proprietary systems or code.
