WHY THIS EXISTS
Hiring engineers used to take 6 weeks. Now it takes 6 months — and you still get the wrong person.
The agency carousel
You brief three "global" partners. They send you the same five LinkedIn profiles each. Two ghost. One quotes you double on day 30.
The freelance roulette
Cheap on paper, expensive in practice. Three time zones, four invoices, zero accountability when production goes down at 02:14.
The body-shop bench
"World-class talent" = whoever was free this week. CV looked great. Sprint two, you're explaining git rebase. Again.
We built Bonapolia because hiring engineers shouldn't be the slowest, most painful thing in your week. We're the call you make when the usual options stop replying.
WHAT WE DO
Two ways to get engineers. Pick the one that matches your problem.
No vague "consulting partnerships". Each service has a clear use case, deliverable, and price model.
01 / Staff Augmentation
Plug a gap in your sprint before it becomes a roadmap problem.
Best when: you have the roadmap, missing the hands.
Engagement: 3 to 24 months
You manage: Day-to-day priorities
Billing: Hourly, monthly invoice
We manage: Everything else
You send us the role and the stack. We send back 2–3 calibrated profiles within a week — engineers we've spoken to, with profile notes for each. You interview, you choose, they join your standup. We handle the contract and our side of the paperwork. If a fit isn't working — two weeks' notice, no penalty.
02 / Dedicated Teams
A small squad that owns a part of your product.
Best when: you need a squad, not five strangers.
Engagement: 6+ months
You manage: Outcomes
Billing: Monthly retainer invoice
We manage: Sourcing, contracts, replacements
3 to 9 engineers — a tech lead, mid/senior devs, and a part-time PM/QA — assembled, onboarded, and shipping as one team. They sit on your roadmap full-time, exclusively, for as long as you need them. Same time zone. Same Slack. Same retro.
HOW IT WORKS
Brief on Monday. Interviewing engineers in 14 days.
No discovery decks. No "alignment workshops". A short brief, a calibrated shortlist, a clear start date
DAY
3-7
Curated shortlist
2–3 profiles matched to your role. We've spoken with each — about their last project, what they're looking for next, salary expectations. Profile note for everyone.
DAY
13-14
Offer & start
You pick. We handle the contract and our side of the paperwork. Equipment and onboarding stay on your side. The engineer joins as soon as your setup is ready.
DAY
8-12
Your interview
You meet them. Run your loop, your way — your standards, your questions. We stay out unless you need scheduling help or extra context on a candidate.
DAY
0-2
The brief
You send us the role spec. We read it the same day. Quick call if anything needs clarifying — stack, seniority, time zone, budget, must-haves. No discovery deck.

REAL QUESTIONS
The things you'd ask on the call anyway.
Big staff aug firms scale on sales teams, account managers, and project layers — your roadmap goes through several people who never see your code. We're five operators. The same five people source your engineers, sign your contract, and pick up the call when something needs to change. Trade-off: we can't staff a 50-person program in 60 days. We can build the right small team without anyone in the middle.
You give two weeks' notice — we stop billing. The contract specifies a 5–7 day substitution timeline if the issue is performance. No exit fees, no penalty clauses, no minimum commitment.
Yes — after a 12-month minimum engagement, by mutual agreement. There's a transfer fee that decreases the longer the engineer has been with your team. After 24 months of continuous cooperation, no fee at all.
