Andishi turns a real technical need into a narrow, evidence-rich shortlist of senior African engineers. The experience is built like a matching room, not a recruiting marketplace.

Matching runway
The shape is intentionally narrow: enough diligence to reduce risk, not enough process to stall the roadmap.
01
A 10-minute form covering the role, stack, timeline, engagement model, and what this engineer should own.
02
Andishi reviews the brief and hand-selects two to four engineers from the network. No algorithmic spray.
03
Profiles with assessments, past work, timezone, and rate context land in your workspace within eight days.
04
A 30-minute video call with shortlisted engineer candidates. Technical depth, not a sales pitch.
05
Contract signed, access granted, first sprint scoped. Most teams have code committed in week one.
Brief lab
Not a job post. A compact operating snapshot for matching.
We need the working truth: what should be owned, what already exists, and how the team makes decisions.
01
What must this engineer own by week two?
Good signal
Payments flow + observability handoff
02
What is already in production?
Good signal
Next.js, Node, PostgreSQL, AWS
03
How does the team ship decisions?
Good signal
UTC+1 overlap, Linear, weekly demo
Included
8 days
Average to first profiles
From brief submission to vetted profiles in your workspace, with context on why each engineer fits.
5+ yrs
Senior only
Every engineer has demonstrable production experience and passes technical assessment before introduction.
30 days
Replacement guarantee
If the engagement is not working inside the first month, we replace the engineer at no additional cost.
Engagement models
Scoped build, embedded capacity, or a small senior team. The model follows the ownership need, not the other way round.

Scoped delivery
Scoped deliverable, fixed timeline. Best for MVPs, specific feature builds, and integration work.

Embedded capacity
A senior engineer joins your team as a long-term collaborator inside your sprints, comms, and stack.
2-5 seats
Team extension
Two to five engineers deployed together for scale-ups that need burst capacity on a defined workstream.
Every profile should answer one question: can this engineer own the work with your team inside the first sprint?

Buyer FAQ
Short answers for the evaluation stage. The full FAQ covers contracts, billing, timezone, vetting, and replacement terms.
Andishi usually responds within 24 hours after a hiring brief is submitted. The team then reviews the role, stack, seniority expectations, timezone needs, and engagement model before sending shortlisted profiles. The standard target is first profiles within eight days, with faster turnaround when a matching engineer is already active in the network.
After a brief is submitted, Andishi reviews the technical need and clarifies any gaps by email or a short call. The matching team then searches the active engineer network, checks availability, and prepares profiles with skills, assessment signals, timezone fit, and past work context. Qualified profiles are sent before any intro calls are scheduled.
Matching is handled by people, not a marketplace algorithm. Andishi looks at the problem the engineer must own, the production stack, collaboration style, seniority requirement, timezone overlap, and engagement model. The shortlist is intentionally narrow so clients review a few credible options instead of filtering through a large pool of generic profiles.
