TALENT & TEAM AUGMENTATION

Vetted by architects, not algorithms.

Senior data engineers, data scientists and AI engineers — every one interviewed in depth by principal consultants before you see a profile.

You've seen the CVs. Twenty pages into the stack, they blur: the same keywords, the same certifications, and no way to tell who has actually run a pipeline at 3am. Recruiters match words. You need someone who can match engineers — and the only person who can vet a senior data engineer is another one.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps, no account manager in the loop.

STEP·1

Brief

Thirty minutes with a principal consultant, not an account manager. We take the role, the stack, the team context, and the things you won't put in the job spec.

STEP·2

Vetted shortlist

Every candidate has passed a structured technical interview with our principal architects — the same people who've built these platforms at Vodafone, Sainsbury's and BT. You get profiles with our interview findings attached, typically within 5–10 working days. We'd rather send you three we'd hire than ten we wouldn't.

STEP·3

Onboarded

Contracts, compliance and right-to-work handled through ARC Insights. Your new engineer arrives with context, not just a start date.

WHAT WE VET — THE RUBRIC

Every candidate is scored on the same six dimensions, in a recorded structured interview.

You see the scores. If a candidate is a 3/5 on something, the profile says so — a shortlist you can trust is worth more than one that flatters.

ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Individual contractors Inside or outside IR35, per your status determination — remote or on-site, UK-based.
Delivery pods Two to four engineers under an ARC principal’s architecture oversight, for outcomes rather than seats.
Build–operate–transfer We assemble and run the team, then hand it to you.
Hard-to-fill roles ARC Insights holds a UK sponsor licence, opening access to senior international talent most suppliers can’t reach.

WHY US, NOT A RECRUITMENT AGENCY

Because we're not one. ARC Insights is a delivery consultancy that supplies people the way we'd staff our own projects — which we also do. The person vetting your candidate has 20+ years of platform delivery and will still be accountable to you after the placement. Agencies close a placement; we stand behind a delivery.
