A contract staffing firm built on three promises
We place vetted technology professionals with companies on contract, contract-to-hire and project-team terms, and employ and pay them for the length of the assignment. This page covers why the firm exists, the commitments it runs on and how it is set up to keep them.
The right person on the work, with nothing left to chase
We believe a company and a contractor want the same thing from a placement: work that goes well, on terms both sides understood from the start.
NorthStackHub has placed contract professionals since 2023, from offices in New Jersey and Hyderabad. We recruit for eight specialist desks, from software engineering and data to security, enterprise platforms, delivery and design, and we only open a desk where someone on the team can run the technical screen for it.
The contractors we place are engaged by us. We hold their contract, run their timesheets and payroll, handle deductions and insurance, and invoice the client for approved time. The client directs the day-to-day work; everything employment-related stays with us.
That arrangement is why both sides matter equally here. A company needs someone who can do the job from the first week. A contractor needs to know who they are being submitted to, what the rate is and when they will be paid. We treat those as the same problem.

One promise to the companies we staff, one to the contractors we place, and one to both. When we decline a role, push back on a rate or delay a submission, this is the reasoning underneath.
- 01
Vetted first
Nobody reaches you unscreened.
Every profile we send has already passed a technical screen run by someone who does the work, a conversation about the role, and a reference check. You interview three people who can do the job, not thirty who matched a keyword.
Technical screen and references on every submission
- 02
Paid on time
Contractors get paid on schedule, every cycle.
Good contractors stay where they are paid correctly and on time. We run the timesheets, payroll and compliance ourselves, so the people on your project are thinking about your project — not chasing an invoice.
Fixed pay calendar agreed before day one
- 03
No chasing
Both sides always know where things stand.
One named account manager for the company, one for the contractor. A check-in with both in the first week and every month after. Extensions, rate reviews and roll-offs are raised early, in writing, not discovered on the last Friday.
One named contact and a monthly check-in
Four things we do not trade away
The promises say how we work. These are the specific commitments that follow from them, and they hold whether the placement is one contractor for three months or a team for a year.
Screened by practitioners
The technical screen is run by someone who does the work. A recruiter matching keywords cannot tell a strong engineer from a well-written CV, so we do not ask them to.
Consent before submission
A contractor's profile never goes to a company without their knowledge and their yes. Being submitted somewhere without being asked is the fastest way to lose trust in a recruiter.
Honest about fit
We would rather tell a company we cannot fill a role at their rate, or tell a contractor we have nothing for them this month, than waste either side's time pretending.
Paperwork finished first
Contracts, checks and payroll are done before the start date. Nobody's first week should be spent chasing a signature or a missing pay run.
US Eastern and Indian hours, covered
Two offices, two working days that overlap in the morning Eastern time. Companies and contractors in either market reach someone during their own business hours.
New Jersey
US EasternBriefings, interviews and account check-ins inside the US working day, for onsite, hybrid and remote roles with US companies.
Hyderabad
India Standard TimeSourcing, screening and contractor support in Indian hours, for roles based in India and for distributed teams that span both markets.
Our published hours are Mon–Sat · 9:00–19:00 IST · 8:00–17:00 ET. Roles can be onsite, hybrid or remote in either country; where a role crosses borders, we confirm who can lawfully do it before anyone is submitted.
The sectors we serve and the specialisms we recruit for
Each desk is a family of roles we screen for ourselves, applied across the industries below. If a role falls outside them, we will tell you on the first call rather than take it and guess.

A short brief is enough to start. We will come back with how we would approach the search, a realistic timeline and whether we are the right firm for it.
