Professional interview
1

AI screening

Every applicant is scored against your specific requirements — skills, experience, education, and English level. Only the top candidates advance.

2

Coding test

Qualified candidates receive a tailored technical assessment. We review the results to validate hands-on ability.

3

Personal interviews

A series of in-depth interviews with our team ensures all talent brought in front of you meets your requirements.

You only interview candidates who have already been thoroughly vetted. No wasted time.

About BridgeOps

We keep costs low so talent gets paid fairly and clients pay less.

Most staffing agencies are built on manual work — recruiters making calls, account managers managing relationships, layers of overhead. That overhead shows up as 40–60% markups on every hour billed.

BridgeOps is built differently. Our vetting pipeline is automated: AI screening handles the initial pass, coding tests are evaluated systematically, and our platform manages the entire matching process. This means we operate with a fraction of the overhead of traditional agencies.

The one thing we never automate is candidate validation.Candidates who pass the automated stages sit for a series of in-depth interviews with our team and joint interviews with the client. We don't just check a box — we learn where the gaps are between what the client needs and what the candidate offers. That feedback goes directly into finding the next person, making each successive candidate a better fit.

The result: clients pay 15%, engineers keep 85%, and both sides know exactly where every dollar goes. No recruiters taking half. No hidden margins. Just a lean platform that connects great talent with great opportunities.

Frequently asked questions

How does the 15% fee work?

When a client pays $100/hr, the engineer receives $85/hr. BridgeOps keeps $15/hr. That's the only fee — no setup costs, no monthly minimums, no hidden charges.

How are engineers vetted?

Every candidate goes through three stages: automated screening against your requirements, a technical coding assessment, and a live personal interview. Only candidates who pass all three are presented to you.

How do payments work?

Clients pay in USD via Stripe (card or ACH). Engineers receive their pay in COP at the mid-market exchange rate via Wise. Both sides see the full breakdown.

Are engineers employees or contractors?

All engineers are independent contractors based in Colombia. We handle the contracting paperwork. You don't need a Colombian entity.

What if I need to end the engagement?

Since engineers are contractors, there's no complex termination process. Give notice per your agreement. You only pay for hours worked.

How fast can I hire?

Our AI screens candidates in real-time. Most clients receive their first shortlist within 24–48 hours of posting a role.

No recruiters. No markups. Just pre-vetted Colombian talent and a fair 15% fee.
