An IT staffing vendor for India-based engineers

Last updated .

This page is for resource-management (RMG) and vendor-management teams at IT services firms and global capability centres that fill client demand with contract engineers. HookStep supplies India-based engineers on contract, contract-to-hire or permanent placement, against the requirement you send.

Share your requirement

  • RMG and delivery teams that need engineers for a client project sooner than their own hiring can supply them.
  • Vendor-management teams adding suppliers to an empanelled vendor list.
  • Talent teams that use vendors for permanent roles in India.
  • Contract (C2C): the engineer works on your project for a fixed term, billed hourly or monthly at the rate agreed for that requirement.
  • Contract-to-hire (C2H): the engineer starts on contract and moves to your payroll once both sides agree.
  • Permanent placement in India: we source and shortlist, and you employ the engineer directly; the placement fee is agreed per role.
  • Remote from India, or on-site at your or your client's office in India.
  • Send the requirement: skills, years of experience, location or remote, duration, engagement type and the rate or budget.
  • We reply with profiles matched to that requirement, or tell you plainly that we have no one who fits. We source for the gaps instead of claiming someone is on a bench.
  • You or your client interview the candidates. Nobody is deployed until you have said yes.
  • Rates are agreed per requirement. There is no public rate card.
  • AI and GenAI: LLM applications, RAG, agentic workflows, evals, MLOps.
  • Data engineering: Spark, Databricks, Snowflake, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, BigQuery, Azure Data Factory, SQL.
  • Full stack, backend and frontend: React, Angular, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Java, .NET, Go.
  • Cloud and DevOps: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD, SRE.
  • QA: manual and automated testing with Selenium, Playwright, Cypress and Appium.
  • Enterprise platforms: Salesforce and ServiceNow.

Vendor forms ask for different documents and terms. Send yours with the first requirement and we will tell you what we can provide, then agree invoicing and payment terms in the vendor agreement.

Do you supply engineers on C2C?

Yes. Contract is our main model for vendor teams, and contract-to-hire works when your client wants to convert later. The rate is agreed per requirement.

Where are your engineers based?

Mainly in India. They work remote from India or on-site at an office in India. We cannot fill US on-site roles that need the consultant to be in the US already.

Who interviews the candidates?

You do, or your client does. We submit profiles against the requirement, and nobody starts until you approve them.

Can the engineer work in my time zone?

Most of our engineers are in India (IST, UTC+5:30). For US or European teams we agree the required overlap hours in the brief and only put forward people who can commit to them.
