Buy engineering outcomes, not hours
Vectra Talent is built for teams shipping retrieval systems, agents, inference infrastructure and applied research into production — where a bad hire costs a quarter.
Write the brief with structure
A guided flow captures the problem, the current stack, constraints, deliverables and the numbers that define success. Vague briefs get vague proposals — the form prevents them.
Receive technical proposals
Each proposal states an architecture, a milestone plan, pricing, named risks and stated assumptions. Compare on substance side by side, not on hourly rate alone.
Fund milestones, not invoices
Escrow holds each milestone's value. Funds release when the acceptance criteria you agreed to are met and approved in the project room.
- Screening a hundred generic profiles with identical skill lists.
- Paying for exploration that never reaches an evaluation harness.
- Contractors who disappear between the demo and the deployment.
- Invoices detached from anything you can measure.
- Engineers surfaced by evidence: shipped systems and reviewed contributions.
- Match explanations that name the overlapping stack and domain.
- A shared project room with tasks, milestones, files and repository activity.
- Escrow state visible to both sides at every point in the contract.
Start with one brief
Most teams post a scoped first engagement — an evaluation harness, a retrieval rebuild, an inference cost reduction — before committing to a longer contract.
