Hired and Working in One Week

Most staffing takes months because generalist recruiters fumble role-specific vetting. Our technical recruiters have deep experience in your vertical and industry, and we test for the exact skills the job actually needs.

Signs You Need a WordPress Engineer

If any of these sound familiar, your WordPress site is costing you more than it should.

1

You Are Held Hostage by a Page Builder

  • Every change has to go through Elementor or Divi and breaks something else
  • Page speed is in the red and you cannot figure out why
  • Plugins keep stacking up because nobody can build features in code
2

Your Agency Charges $200 an Hour for Plugin Updates

  • Simple maintenance work bills like custom development
  • Tickets sit for two weeks before anyone touches them
  • Nobody on their side actually knows your stack
3

WooCommerce Is Costing You Sales

  • Checkout abandonment is high and the funnel has not been touched in a year
  • Shipping and tax integrations break every time WooCommerce updates
  • Custom product fields are bolted on with three different plugins

WordPress Engineer FAQ

Do they work in custom themes or just page builders?
Both. Our WordPress Engineers can ship custom themes from scratch in PHP, build custom Gutenberg blocks, or work in Elementor and Divi when that is what your site already runs on. You tell us your setup, we match for it.
Can they handle WooCommerce specifically?
Yes. We have placements with real WooCommerce experience, including custom checkout flows, payment gateways, shipping logic, and subscription products. We test for it before sending a profile.
What time zone do they work?
Our placements are nearshore in Colombia and other LATAM countries on US business hours. You communicate with them the same way you would a local remote employee, through Slack, Zoom, GitHub, whatever your team already uses. No async lag.
What is included in the $2,500 a month?
A full time WordPress Engineer working 40 hours a week, dedicated to your team. We handle recruiting, vetting, payroll, HR, equipment, and free replacements. You also get a custom AI Copilot trained on your SOPs and tech stack.
What if they are not the right fit?
We replace them at no extra cost. No questions asked. We keep working until you have someone who clicks with your team and ships the way you need.
How is this different from hiring a freelancer or agency?
Freelancers juggle five clients and you get whatever attention is left. Agencies pad hours and hand work to whoever is free. We place one full time engineer dedicated to your site, vetted by a recruiter, with a flat monthly rate and free replacement.
