Screened for how they turn a fuzzy ask into something buildable.
Why STACK IT
Most agencies optimize for volume. We optimize for the one hire who’s right, vetted by people who understand the work.
We screen for how a candidate uncovers the real requirement, maps a process, and aligns stakeholders, not how many methodologies they can list. No one reaches you without two of our recruiters signing off.
Fake profiles, proxy interviews, and AI-assisted answers are everywhere in tech hiring. We meet each candidate face-to-face on video and screen for AI patterns, so who you interview is who shows up.
A BA accumulates deep knowledge of your processes and systems. We align trajectory, growth, and total comp so your hire stays and that knowledge isn’t lost.
Success-based and non-exclusive, no upfront fees, no retainers. We invoice on your hire’s first day, not before.
The payoff

How we screen
We screen for how business analysts actually think. Every shortlist is judged against the same five criteria that predict whether someone delivers in your codebase.
Gets to the real need behind the request, and writes it down so engineering and the business read it the same way.
Maps how work actually flows, spots the waste and the gaps, and proposes changes that hold up.
Gets people who want different things into the same room and out with a decision.
Backs recommendations with evidence, and is comfortable in the data, not just the meeting.
Writes specs, user stories, and acceptance criteria clear enough to build from without a follow-up.
Proof it works
Discover what changed once the right hire joined our clients’ team.
A SaaS team was shipping features that missed the mark and rebuilding them. The analyst we placed introduced real discovery and acceptance criteria, cutting rework by half.
Consolidated a fintech’s scattered requirements into a single groomed backlog six teams could trust.
Mapped and redesigned a healthcare intake process, taking 30% out of the cycle time.
Real technical screening, a calibrated shortlist in days, and candidates vetted for fit, not just resumes. Let’s start your search.
Specializations
Whatever your team runs on, we screen for the people who do the work right.
The real need uncovered and written down clearly.
How work flows today, and where the waste is hiding.
Conflicting needs turned into one aligned decision.
The cost of waiting
An empty seat doesn’t delay work, it redistributes it. The longer the search drags, the more it costs.
Every week a role stays open, the cost lands on the team you already have.
Speed isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between a gap and a setback.
Time to fill this role
How you hire
Two models, one standard of quality. Bring on the business analysts you need the way that fits your timeline and budget.
Permanent
Best when you’re building the team for the long term.
Contract
Best when you need delivery capacity now, without adding headcount.

FAQ
The questions teams usually ask before starting a search with us.
Recruiter-led and scenario-based. We work through real requirements and process problems to see how a candidate uncovers the true need and aligns people, not just which certifications they hold. Every candidate is met face-to-face over video, the same practice behind our AI hiring fraud protection, and no one reaches your inbox until a second reviewer has signed off. We use AI to support our screening, never to make the decision.
You’ll typically see your first qualified candidate within 24–48 hours, and a calibrated shortlist of three to five within about five business days. Most permanent roles close in two to three weeks; contract placements often start within 5–10 business days.
For permanent hires it’s success-based: you pay only when a candidate starts, with no upfront fee or retainer. Contract placements run on a transparent hourly rate that already covers payroll, compliance, and onboarding. There’s no cost to simply engage us.
Permanent placements are backed by our 90-day replacement guarantee: if it doesn’t work out within the first 90 days, we replace them at no charge. It’s part of how we stay accountable long after the placement. For contract roles, our backfill guarantee means we replace a contractor quickly and at no extra cost if they exit early.
No. We work non-exclusively by default, so you can keep your internal sourcing running or use other firms alongside us. We’d rather earn repeat business through results than lock you into an agreement. We just work best when feedback is quick and expectations are clear.
