Services

Spinnaker specializes in identifying, evaluating, and presenting top IT talent for full-time, direct-hire positions. We actively facilitate the interview process, manage expectations around compensation and career growth, and assist with onboarding as needed.

We offer three flexible search models to fit your hiring needs:

• Contingent Search (pay only upon hire, no upfront cost),
• Engaged Search (a committed partnership with a small upfront investment), and
• Retained Search (an exclusive, fully dedicated approach for critical hires).

Our fee is based on a percentage of the candidate’s starting salary, with structured replacement policies to ensure long-term success.

Organizations often need to augment their full-time staff with specialized resources or project-based expertise. Contract staffing provides the flexibility to scale teams efficiently, whether full-time headcount is unavailable or simply not required.

Spinnaker follows the same rigorous recruiting process as we do for direct-hire placements, but in contract engagements, the selected candidate becomes a Spinnaker associate. We handle all payroll and and employment administration, allowing our clients to focus on business priorities while we manage the back-office logistics. We bill clients on an hourly basis for the consultant’s services, with contract lengths typically ranging from 6 months to 18 months.

For companies seeking long-term options, Contract-to-Hire offers a low-risk pathway to full-time employment. Clients can assess a candidate’s performance and fit, while waiting for new FTE headcount to be available before making a permanent commitment. Our flexible conversion model includes a sliding-scale fee structure, allowing for seamless transitions, with no fee after six months of contracting.

Spinnaker has the capability to provide contract resources in all 50 states—ensuring you have access to top talent nationwide, wherever your business needs it.”
