Why Charterstone

The capacity of a bigger team. None of the overhead.

Hiring good engineers is slow, expensive and risky. We give you skilled people who focus on your work from the first week, and we handle everything else.

Engineers who feel in-house

Your Charterstone engineers work only on your projects. They join your stand-ups, use your tools and follow your process, so they feel like part of your team rather than an outside supplier.

  • Full-time or part-time
  • Your tools and process
  • Scale up or down
  • Leave cover arranged

Vetted for your stack

Every engineer passes interviews, technical tests and reference checks, and is matched to the skills you need.

Nothing lost in translation

Your account manager has UK and US business experience and keeps communication clear from brief to delivery.

No hiring overheads

No placement fees, PAYE or HR administration. You pay for the work; we take care of employment.

You own everything

All source code and intellectual property we create for you belongs to you, with transparent reporting throughout.
