Build your team, wherever the talent is.
QB Works helps companies of every size hire and run technology teams, from a single hire to a dedicated team. One partner, from the first hire onward.
The people behind production AI.
Good AI work depends on good people. QB Works uses the same assessment process to build the teams that design, deliver and run your technology.

How we build your team.
Whether you need one hire or a full team, the process is the same.
Brief
One intake conversation sets roles, bar, budget and working hours.
Source
AI-accelerated search across global pools, plus our pre-vetted bench.
Verify
Six vetting gates, ending in an expert assessment.
Onboard
Your tools, ceremonies and standards, with a dedicated delivery lead.
Operate & grow
Weekly outcome reporting, retention and scaling as your roadmap evolves.
A dedicated team, set up for you.
Many companies want a dedicated team that works the way they do. Setting one up in another country usually takes time and local knowledge. We handle the setup and day-to-day running, so you can focus on the work.
We recruit your dedicated team against your bar, employ and host them within our infrastructure, and manage people operations, compliance, facilities and retention, while your leaders direct the work from day one. When you are ready, ownership can transfer to you on your timeline, or we can keep running it for you.
Blueprint
Roles, operating model, governance and a hiring bar set jointly with your leadership.
Build
We recruit dedicated professionals, each interviewed and approved by you.
Operate
Payroll, benefits, workspace, engagement and retention, managed by Quantabase.
Transfer
The center can become your own legal entity, on your timeline.
Experienced people, when you need them.
When you need a working team next month rather than a center next year: engineers to deliver the roadmap, analysts to organize the data, specialists to clear the backlog.
Our pods are small and experienced. Pre-vetted professionals are assembled around your need, led by a dedicated delivery lead and aligned to your hours. AI-assisted workflows help each pod do more, and you see outcomes rather than timesheets. Scale up or down, or move any member into your capability center later.
- Experienced members, each assessed before joining
- A dedicated delivery lead accountable for outcomes
- Aligned to US, UK and European hours, in your tools and ceremonies
- AI-augmented delivery as standard practice
- Weekly progress reports in plain language
- Replace-or-make-right guarantee on every seat
Training for the skills you need.
Some skills are easier to develop than to hire. The Quantabase Academy selects promising people, trains them in modern AI-assisted engineering and operations, and prepares them for your tools and standards.
Clients engage the Academy in two ways: reserve a cohort trained against your specification and deploy graduates into your pods or center, or hire from graduates as cohorts complete. Every graduate carries a portfolio of assessed, real work, so you can inspect competence directly.
Select
Aptitude-first admission with a selective intake.
Train
Intensive weeks building real systems with AI-first tooling, reviewed by senior engineers.
Prove
Each graduate carries a verified portfolio of assessed work: their skills passport.
Deploy
Graduates join your pod, your center or your payroll, supported through their first year.
Hiring for key roles.
A clear process, an agreed timeline and a fixed fee agreed before we start, ending in a shortlist of candidates we have assessed.
It runs on the same engine as everything we do: AI-accelerated sourcing and screening across global talent pools, with senior human judgment on every consequential decision, calibrated to your bar in a single intake conversation. We aim to present three interview-ready candidates within about two weeks.
- One intake conversation calibrates the bar
- AI-accelerated search across US, European and global talent pools
- Human-assessed shortlist, typically within 14 days
- Structured scorecards and GDPR-aware data handling
- Fixed terms agreed up front, billed in USD, EUR or GBP
- Replacement guarantee on every placement
Choose the right model.
Each model fits a different stage of growth. The models can be combined, and any pod member can later move into your capability center.

Building a team with us
Where are team members based?
Teams are built primarily from our hubs in India and across global talent pools, aligned to US, UK, European or APAC working hours as you need.
Do we interview and approve every person?
Yes. Every dedicated team member is interviewed and approved by you after passing our six vetting gates.
Can a pod become our own team later?
Yes. Any pod member can move into your capability center, and the center itself can transfer to your own legal entity on your timeline.
How is compliance handled?
We manage employment, payroll, benefits and statutory compliance, with contracts under Singapore law and billing in USD, EUR or GBP.
Tell us what you are building.
One conversation is usually enough to suggest the right approach, whether that is a single hire, a small team or a dedicated center.
