Our services model is that we do not believe in a traditional arms length arrangement where we act as middlemen and brokers for your people challenges. We drive value to our clients directly as a result of our commitment to a focus on people retention.

We do this through truly ground-breaking benefits not found through traditional contracting and recruitment companies. The end-result is that we are a growing company because developers seek out Encode as an employer of choice.

They want to work for us for our co-operative feel, for our better processes, and most of all for our employment parity. And there-in lays our difference.

At Encode we stand on the platform of Difference, Advocacy and Co-operation. Our employee and client benefits include:

Two working models for our clients: Supplemental Staff or Managed Teams.
No use or endorsement of exclusivity clauses in our employment agreements.
Zero placement or recruitment fees.
A professional brand identity from which all of our staff benefit and confer.
Company e-mail addresses and business cards to all staff.
Company assignment of risk for all individual contractor staff.
Regular modeling and analysis of cost structures.
Operating on often less than 10% of an average hourly rate.
Relationship building through trust and risk mitigation not through 20-30% mark-ups.

To really drive home the difference we provide through Encode Services, we are fully prepared to engage with you through existing market models…but quite honestly, we just wouldn’t feel right about charging you for the contractor placement, taking a larger cut of their hourly rate, and invoicing you again for further non-competitive charges when you seek to hire our great people on a full-time basis.
