At any point during or after the engagement, you decide whether to convert the specialist to a permanent hire fully on your terms.
04. Buyout at a preferential rate

If you hire permanently, you pay 10% of the annual salary vs. the standard 15%. A better deal because the candidate is already integrated.

The specialist moves directly onto your payroll. We handle the handover smoothly.
06. No benefits cost for 3–6 months

During the outsource period, benefits and overhead stay on our side, optimizing your cash flow from day one.

What you get

Zero upfront recruitment costs. No hiring process burden on your internal team. Real-work evaluation, not just a CV and an interview.

Ideal when

You’re not sure if the position is long-term and want flexibility before committing. You want to reduce the risk of a wrong hire without slowing down. You need results now, not another 1–2 month hiring cycle.

Real results,
real reviews

We partnered with Honeycomb Software to hire two London based in-house developers, a Senior Node.js/Angular Developer and a Senior .NET/React Developer. Their recruitment team worked quickly and professionally, kept us updated at every step, and consistently presented strong, well-screened candidates. The process was smooth end-to-end, and we appreciated their responsiveness and understanding of our requirements. We would gladly recommend Honeycomb Software for senior tech hiring.

Reza Managing Director, Loqsea Technology

We’d hired the wrong person for a key product role twice before. The third time, we went to Honeycomb Software. They came back with three candidates, all of them strong, with a clear comparison of each. The person we hired has been with us 18 months and is already leading a team. That’s the difference when the process is actually rigorous.

Peter CEO & Founder

We were scaling fast and had no internal recruitment function. Honeycomb Software handled everything, briefing, sourcing, screening, and scheduling, and kept us updated throughout. We hired four people in two months without it becoming a second job for our leadership team.
