Why practical proof

A CV tells you what people say. A project shows what they do.

Interviews reward people who interview well. Our assessment rewards people who deliver, which is the thing you are hiring for.

The usual route

  • A CV that says what someone claims
  • One or two interviews of an hour each
  • A gut feeling about skills you cannot see
  • A hire you learn about after the probation

With Vastorabaltic

  • A project built around your actual role
  • Fifteen days of tracked, reviewable work
  • A report on quality, problem solving and communication
  • A shortlist you can choose from with evidence

      Offer letter and direct hiring

IT hires: after the 15 days

Selected? You get an offer letter and keep working while the visa is processed.

Your project does not wait for the paperwork. The chosen candidate starts working for the employer remotely, then moves in once the visa is approved.

  1. 1

    You are selected

    The employer reviews the short list and chooses the candidate. No interview round is needed.

  2. 2

    Offer letter

    The chosen candidate receives a written offer letter from the employer.

  3. 3

    Remote work starts

    The candidate keeps working for the employer remotely while the visa is processed.

  4. 4

    Visa approved, move in

    Once the visa is approved, the candidate relocates and joins the team on the full agreed package.

Visa decisions belong to the authorities and cannot be guaranteed. Salary and conditions are set by the employer in the offer.

FAQ

Questions people ask first.

Why is there no interview?

Our standard process replaces the first-round interview with a 15-day practical project. You see how a candidate actually works, and you receive a report with the evidence. If you want to ask factual questions about a candidate or agree an interview for a particular role, tell us and we will arrange it.

Who employs the candidate?

You do. The selected candidate receives an offer letter from you, can keep working for you remotely while the visa is processed, and then joins your company directly, on terms agreed between you and the candidate. We are not the employer.

Is the assessment free work for a client?

No. The assessment project is built to evaluate skills. It is not used to get undisclosed productive work, and candidates never work on your production systems or customer data.

What does it cost?

Fees are agreed in writing for each role and depend on the position. Contact us with the role and we will send the terms.

What if the hire does not work out?

Our default terms include a 60-day replacement guarantee from the candidate's start date, with the conditions set out in the agreement. The terms for a specific role are confirmed in writing.

Do you handle visas and relocation?

Where a candidate needs a visa or relocation, the responsible party is agreed for each role, and we can coordinate when this is agreed in writing. The candidate can start working for you remotely after the offer letter, so your project does not wait for the visa. Immigration decisions belong to the authorities, so no outcome can be guaranteed.
