People
Engineers who embed in your team and stay. We recruit technical resources; then work with you on long term retention. Engineers within your team, or a whole managed team with a delivery lead.
Problems We Solve
Hiring engineers
The people you need are scarce, and the ones you can find are expensive. Filling a role should not take a quarter.
Scaling a team
Delivery needs to grow faster than local hiring allows, and every new role restarts the same search.
Covering a skill gap
A stack or specialisation the work now needs that no one in-house has.
Losing continuity
Contractors rotate and take the context with them; the team resets instead of compounding.
Two Engagement Models
Both engagement models are staffed by the same recruiting system. Take the one that fits how you run delivery.
Scale your team
Senior engineers who join your existing team on a Resource-on-Request basis. You direct the work; we handle recruitment, payroll and retention.

We recruit continuously rather than per-request, which is why a shortlist can reach you in days when a local search takes months.
Brief received
The role, the stack, the team it joins.
The search starts warm
Continuous recruiting across Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Manila means the search begins from candidates we already know.
The technical bar
Assessment by engineers rather than keyword matching: technical interviews, real-world assessment, seniority checks.
Shortlist delivered
Senior candidates who have already cleared our bar. You interview: your process, your call.
How We Work
Every engineer we field has cleared a bar set and assessed by engineers. Continuity is most of what people mean when they say quality, so the bar is only half the system; keeping people is the other half.
If a placement is not working, the 30-day replacement guarantee means we fix it.
Companies commit to Adaca and the way we work, and candidate selection follows from that commitment. You are buying the system that finds, assesses and keeps good engineers, rather than gambling on a single CV.
We've Grown, One Engineer at a Time
Six engineers in 2020, more than 150 across four cities today.
4.5-year average retention. The engineer who joins your team is still on your team next year.
