Contractor & Temp Placement

The right QA contractor,
found by specialists.

We find, screen, and introduce experienced QA contractors and temporary professionals for you to engage directly. You manage the relationship — we do the hard work of finding the right person fast.

Contractor placement —
how it works

When you need a QA contractor or temporary professional, you have two options: advertise and wade through hundreds of unsuitable CVs yourself, or let Qualibridge do it for you.

We tap into our network of experienced QA contractors across the UK and India — Test Analysts, Automation Engineers, Test Leads, Test Managers — and present you with a shortlist of technically screened professionals who match your specific requirement.

Once you select your preferred candidate, you engage them directly. You own the contract relationship, you manage their day-to-day work, and you pay them directly.

What makes us different

QA specialists, not generalists

We only place QA and testing professionals. Every candidate is assessed by someone who has done the job — not a recruiter reading keywords.

Fast turnaround

We can present screened shortlists within 48–72 hours. When your programme has a gap, speed matters.

UK and India networks

Access contractors across both markets — UK-based for onsite or remote roles, India-based for cost-effective offshore engagement.

Fully screened, right-to-work verified

Every contractor is technically assessed and right-to-work verified before introduction — no surprises after you engage.

Contractor vs staff augmentation

Which model is right for you?

Both models give you flexible QA resource. The difference is who manages the relationship after placement.

Contractor Placement

You engage & manage directly

We find and introduce the contractor. You take over from there — you own the contract, you direct their work, you manage the day-to-day relationship.

  • You contract directly with the QA professional
  • You manage their day-to-day work entirely
  • IR35 determination is your responsibility
  • Best for teams experienced with contractor management

Staff Augmentation

We supply & oversee

Our QA professionals work within your team but remain Qualibridge resources. We handle the employment relationship, compliance, and oversight — you simply direct their work.

  • Qualibridge handles all employment and compliance
  • You direct day-to-day work and priorities
  • IR35 is Qualibridge's responsibility
  • Best for teams who want simplicity and less admin
Not sure which model suits you? Many of our clients start with contractor placement and move to staff augmentation as the engagement grows — or vice versa. Talk to us and we will recommend the right structure for your situation.
