Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the procedure for hiring dedicated resources from eNest?

A: Our work engagement process has been formulated over a decade of experience in providing enterprise software lifecycle management, system administration, and cybersecurity protection.

We start our engagements with an in-depth discussion to analyze your needs and to understand your goals. We work with you to determine the proper staffing strategy after completing a comprehensive review of the project details. This assessment allows us to understand what it will take to make your software build a success! We will demonstrate our ability to effectively communicate that we understand your software development, system administration, and desired project management communication protocols.

Once we finalize your goals for hiring a developer or building a dedicated team, we will proceed by providing you with a list of eNest engineers and project managers to interview. The resources we suggest will match the skill set needed to fill your goals that we learned about in the intake discussion.
After the intake discussion, we will match you with the engineers and project managers to make your project a success.

Once you meet the prospects, we will discuss milestone deliverables to set realistic pricing for the efforts to deliver your project on budget and on time.

Our onboarding steps:
1. Intake discussion to learn about your requirements and goals
