Staffing services
Every engagement starts with the same SA‑Vetted screening standard — whether you need a single engineer, a project team, a program manager, or frontline support.
Choose your model
Both models deliver the same SA‑Vetted standard. The difference is who employs the engineer and how the commercial relationship is structured.

Common questions
Managed Network Engineer: Lumensoft employs the engineer and manages their performance — you pay a monthly bill rate. Best for project-based capacity and augmentation without employment overhead. Dedicated Network Engineer: Lumensoft sources and Solution Architect–vets the candidate, and you hire them directly onto your permanent payroll for a one-time placement fee. Best for long-term hires where deep integration matters.
Choose Managed if you need specialist capacity now without committing to a permanent hire. Choose Dedicated if you need a permanent team member who reports directly to you and builds long-term institutional knowledge.
Every candidate — engineer, project manager, or support agent — is reviewed by a Solution Architect before you see their name. The SA evaluates actual technical or operational depth, not resume keywords. The standard is identical across every engagement type.
