How it works
Discovery & role definition
We align on your product, team setup, and technical requirements. Together we define the role, seniority, and expectations needed for a strong long-term fit.
Talent sourcing & vetting

Interviews & selection
You interview shortlisted candidates and choose who joins your team. The final decision is always yours.
Onboarding & team integration
The developer joins your team full-time and works exclusively on your project. They integrate into your workflows, tools, and processes.
Ongoing support & stability

Developers work full-time and exclusively on one client project. No shared resources. No context switching.
Payment & transparency
Each month, you receive one invoice with two line items: Developer gross salary, plus a fixed $1,000 monthly service fee.
The developer's salary is what they actually earn. We do not apply a margin, markup, or percentage to their compensation. You see exactly what they are paid.
Olive's service fee is $1,000 per month per developer. It is not calculated as a percentage of salary. It does not change based on hours worked, project scope, or performance.
Invoices are issued on the 1st of each month for the previous month's work. Payment is made after the month is completed.
Our fee
The service fee is $1,000 per month per developer. This fee is fixed. It does not change based on the developer's salary, project complexity, or hours worked.
The fee covers recruitment, technical vetting, contract management, payroll processing, legal compliance, HR support, and ongoing operational management. Everything is discussed and agreed upon before the engagement begins.
The fee is not a percentage of the developer's salary. If the developer receives a raise or bonus, the fee remains $1,000. It is a flat monthly amount that provides full transparency and predictability.
