For tenants where permissions have outgrown anyone's memory of them
Hire SharePoint Developers
A SharePoint environment rarely collapses at once; it drifts through years of small permission exceptions. A permission granted as a one-off, a migration that never validated its metadata, or a library that quietly crosses a performance threshold can each become the incident nobody saw coming. These developers are tested on catching exactly that kind of drift, then placed inside the tenant you already run.
- Profiles typically within two business days
- Replacement Assurance: If an engineer is not the right fit, a replacement from our own team starts within ten business days of your request, at no extra cost
- You interview before placement if you want to
- At least four hours a day inside your core working hours. Two hours plus a daily written handover for the US West Coast
- 14-Day Risk-Free Trial: For your first engineer on a time-and-materials engagement. Up to 14 calendar days or 80 logged working hours, whichever comes first. End within the trial and pay nothing for trial hours. Continue beyond it and those hours are billed at the agreed rate. Unpaid trial work remains ours if you stop
How we evaluate a SharePoint developer
The tasks, the signals and the onboarding, walked through by the people who run them.
90 secSample frame · video pending01Published, not promised
The assessment behind every SharePoint developer we send.
Five competencies sit behind this bar, each tied to a concrete task and the tell that ends a candidacy. Familiarity with the admin centre alone is not what is scored here. What is scored is whether a migration actually preserves what people depend on.
What we listen forWhether they design permission structure deliberately, not let it sprawl by exception.
A site's permission structure has grown through years of one-off exceptions and nobody trusts who can see what. Propose an approach.
- What strong sounds like
- Proposes auditing and rebuilding around a small number of clear permission groups instead of patching more exceptions on top.
- What gives us pause
- Recommends adding another one-off exception to solve the immediate request without addressing the underlying sprawl.

02Who you actually meet
The bench, priced by seniority.
Three seniority tiers, priced honestly, and the engineers who fill each one today. Real names and photos take their place as soon as we can share them, and the standard stays exactly the same.

Features scoped tightly enough to ship inside your review bar, every time.
The right first hire when your seniors already set the standard.

03From stated problem to first change
Four steps, each closing on evidence.
What this tests is real information-architecture judgement, not tool familiarity alone. Stepping away at any point carries no cost to you.
Name the environment problem
We map where your environment is under real strain, whether that's permission sprawl, a stalled migration or a library hitting its limits. The brief names that exact gap, not a list of SharePoint features.
A brief your IT lead signs off onMatch against your environment
Candidates are screened against your actual tenant setup, your migration history and your governance model. Three developers who understand your environment beat thirty who simply list SharePoint as a skill.
Three fits, not thirty resumesAssess on real environment tasks
Your team can watch the permission-design and migration-planning exercises directly. What shows up is information-architecture judgement, not familiarity with a feature list.
An evaluation you can watchOnboard into your tenant
Tenant access, governance standards and a first scoped change inside a real site collection. Continuity cover keeps a departure from ever stalling a migration.

04Evidence and proof
Developers who kept a migration clean and permissions intact.
SharePoint proof is a migration that preserves what people actually depend on, not a feature-list recital. Every record here waits for written client approval before production.
Explore case studies
A permission structure rebuilt before a tenant migration, not during it.
Pillar Learning's site permissions had grown through years of one-off exceptions nobody could fully explain. An embedded SharePoint developer audited and rebuilt the structure around a small set of clear groups before the tenant migration began.
- Permission exceptions removed
- Over 60
- Migration incidents
- Zero
Our tenant migration went through without a single permission issue, which has never happened before.

05Three shapes, one standard
Add a developer, a migration pod, or a practice.
Most teams start with one developer working inside an existing tenant. Some need a pod that owns a migration or platform rebuild end to end. Where the whole collaboration platform needs rethinking, we point you to enterprise platforms instead.
- Team extension
One named developer
A single SharePoint specialist working inside your governance model and your review process. The lightest commitment, and where most engagements start.
- Delivery pods
A migration pod
A pod with its own lead that owns a migration or platform rebuild end to end, from plan through cutover. You set priorities while the pod delivers.
- Enterprise Platforms
The practice, not the person
Where the collaboration platform itself needs rethinking rather than one role filled, our enterprise platforms practice takes that scope on instead.
06Straight answers
Asked before a SharePoint hire is signed.
01What does a SharePoint developer actually do day to day?
Designs permission structures that don't collapse as a site grows, chooses between SPFx and Power Automate for a given need, and keeps large libraries fast under real load. Most of the job is judgement no course covers.
02Do you hire for SharePoint Online, on-premises, or both?
Matched to your environment, whether that's SharePoint Online, a hybrid setup or a legacy on-premises farm. The evaluation focuses on information-architecture judgement that holds across versions.
03Can we run our own interviews as well?
Yes. Several clients have adopted the permission-inheritance exercise as a standard part of their own final-round interviews.
04How fast can a SharePoint developer start?
Most clients see a shortlist within a week, sourced from a bench we keep evaluated continuously. From there, start date depends largely on how quickly tenant permissions are granted.
05Who manages the engineer day to day?
Day-to-day direction and review stay with your IT or collaboration lead, exactly as they would for an in-house hire. Our part is the administrative layer behind that: payroll, continuity and replacement if needed.
06What if the engineer is not the right fit?
If it isn't working early on, tell us and we replace the developer at our expense. We treat the reason for the mismatch as information for the next match, not just a formality.
07Do your SharePoint developers use AI tools?
Yes, for scaffolding repetitive SPFx components and migration scripts. Permission design and information-architecture decisions stay with the developer, checked the same way any change would be.
08How does pricing work for a hired SharePoint developer?
The rate band above is a starting reference; the number attached to your shortlist is the one that actually applies. Payment is monthly per developer, there's no finder's fee, and exit runs on notice.
