The firm also distinguishes a commercial and go-to-market (GTM) vertical, with sales and business development, post-sales and senior appointments roles, for both software and hardware.

Contract models and services

SoCode structures its offering into several service models: permanent recruitment, contract recruitment, retained search, project delivery, senior appointments, embedded RPO, land and expand models, build, operate and transfer (BOT) and teams as a service. These formats aim to adapt to needs ranging from a single strategic hire to the formation of complete teams.

The company maintains that its approach removes hiring friction, strengthens delivery confidence and helps fill critical roles with certainty. Compared with traditional methods, which according to its presentation generate unnecessary costs and delays, it proposes tailored talent solutions that improve performance and provide reliable access to permanent and contract professionals.
