What is TaaS?

TaaS (Tech Talent as a Service) is our model for short, highly specialized engagements. Instead of recruiting —which takes weeks and often doesn't close— you get direct access to senior engineers from 23people's internal team. We assign them for the duration of your project: a critical integration, a migration, an MVP, a technical audit.

Compare with Staff Augmentation or Hunting TI.

Why TaaS when time is tight

Immediate availability

No recruitment process. We discuss the scope, identify the ideal specialist on our team, and start in days, not weeks.

Absolutely validated engineers

These are our engineers. We know them, work with them daily, and validate their technical judgment week after week. Not a CV — someone we trust with our own projects.

Niche specialization

Stacks where talent is scarce: performance optimization, legacy migrations, observability, SRE, ML/MLOps, security, complex integrations, modernizations.

Short commitment, low risk

Typical engagement: 1–6 months. If the project ends earlier, the engagement ends. No forced retention promises or long-term lock-in.

When to use TaaS

  • Critical integration with legacy systems nobody else wants to touch
  • Migration from monolith to microservices or to the cloud
  • Technical audit or due diligence for M&A
  • Observability, SRE, or DevOps practices implementation
  • ML/MLOps or data project with specific expertise
  • Temporary staff to cover leaves or demand spikes

How it works

1

Scoping (1–3 days)

Technical scoping meeting: scope, goals, stack, estimated duration, current team, risks. We identify the ideal internal specialist.

2

Matching (1–2 days)

We propose the engineer (or small team) from 23people with the exact profile. We share CV, availability, and rate.

3

Kick-off (1 week)

Fast onboarding: accesses, business context, key contacts. The engineer starts in a productive environment.

4

Delivery and handoff

Iterative work with clear deliverables. On close, documented knowledge handoff to your permanent team.

TaaS FAQ

What is the typical TaaS engagement length?
1 to 6 months. If your project requires less time, we evaluate case by case. For longer commitments, we recommend Staff Augmentation.
Who are the TaaS engineers?
Engineers from 23people's internal team, with experience on LATAM and US/CA projects. The same people who deliver our Staff Augmentation and consulting projects.
Can I choose the specific engineer?
Yes. We present the profile and you make the final call. If for some reason it's not the right match, we look for another profile on our team at no extra cost.
What if I need to extend the engagement?
If the need extends beyond 6 months, we migrate the engagement to Staff Augmentation with continuity of the professional, or hire directly via Hunting TI.
How is TaaS billed?
Monthly, by seniority and dedication (full-time or part-time). We confirm the rate in the matching step. No lock-in: 30-day notice to end.
