Engagement models and how pricing works.

Three ways to work with us. Each one defines who employs the professional, who directs the work and what support Knight Shift provides.

Choose how to engage

Three models.

STAFF AUGMENTATION

Need one or two extra people on your team?

Professionals who integrate directly into your team. They work agreed hours, use your tools and follow your standards, under your team's direction.

You direct the work. We handle recruitment, onboarding and ongoing coordination.

DEDICATED TEAMS

Need a team for a workstream or a support queue?

A drafting and modeling team for your project load, or a service desk and NOC team for your operation, including shift rosters for after hours and 24/7 coverage.

You set priorities. We build the team, coordinate schedules and keep the roster staffed.

DIRECT HIRE

Want to hire the person yourself?

We source, screen and assess candidates against your role brief. You interview the shortlist and hire directly.

You employ and manage. We run the search and the assessment.

Pricing

What a quote depends on.

We do not publish a price list, because the same role can cost very different amounts depending on how it is set up. Cost efficiency comes from where the talent is based, not from lowering the standard of the work.

Questions about models and pricing.

A quote depends on the role, seniority, schedule, dedication and engagement model. We prepare it once we understand the request.
