We Speak Your Stack

We're not recruiters reading keywords off a list. We've built test automation frameworks, debugged flaky tests at 2am, and know the difference between someone who's used Cypress and someone who's mastered it.

When we evaluate candidates, we evaluate them like engineers—because we are.

Built by QA Engineers,
For QA Teams

We've been in the trenches. Building test automation frameworks from scratch. Debugging CI pipelines at midnight. Fighting with flaky Selenium tests. Reviewing pull requests from contractors who clearly padded their CVs.

That's why we started UNIVOCAL. The staffing industry is full of recruiters who can't tell Cypress from Selenium. We're different—we're engineers first, and we only place people we'd want on our own teams.

01

Engineer-Led Vetting

Every candidate is evaluated by actual QA engineers. We assess real skills, not just keywords. We know what 'senior' actually means.

02

No Guesswork

We've worked with these tools daily for over a decade. We know who can hit the ground running versus who needs hand-holding.

03

Transparent Process

No black box. You'll know exactly why we recommend someone, what their strengths are, and where they might need support.

04

Long-Term Thinking

We're not just filling seats. We match engineers to roles where they'll thrive—because that's how we build lasting relationships.
