HOW WE WORK
The right model for the problem.
From filling a gap to owning the outcome.
You need specialists. We find them fast and we vet them first.
We don't send a stack of resumes. We send a shortlist matched against your actual requirements. Our recruiters are domain practitioners who understand the roles they fill. When we present a candidate, we can tell you exactly why they fit.
Good for
- Backfilling a critical role
- Scaling for a product launch
- Adding specialized skills
- Extending capacity for a consulting engagement
Why Elios
- Pre-vetted shortlist in 7 days on average
- Domain practitioners evaluate every candidate
- 100-day performance guarantee on every placement
- Transparent, competitive economics with no hidden markups
We don't send resumes. We solve talent problems.

FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEERS
The person who understands your problem is the same person building the solution.
Forward Deployed Engineers embed directly in your team, in your repo, your standups, your production environment. They specialize in high-stakes deployments where the cost of a slow start is measured in missed quarters, not just delayed tickets. Including Palantir Foundry ontologies and Anthropic Claude integrations.
Platform Implementation
Accelerate time-to-value on Palantir Foundry, Snowflake, and Databricks. An FDE who has shipped on your platform closes the gap between what it's configured to do and what your business needs it to do.
Custom Integration
Build the connectors, APIs, and middleware your stack requires, with full context on your data, your constraints, and your architecture. Not built from the outside looking in.
On-the-Ground Problem Solving
Diagnose and fix issues in production, in context, under load. No support ticket latency. No handoff to someone who wasn't there when it broke.
Knowledge Transfer
Every engagement is designed to end. FDEs document, pair program, and build internal capability so your team is stronger when they leave, not dependent on them to maintain what was built.
Most engineering engagements separate the people who understand the problem from the people solving it. FDEs collapse that gap. One person. Full context. Accountable for the outcome.

Elios is your strategic talent partner. You have a talent problem, we solve it.
We deliver the strategic partnership you'd expect from a consulting firm without paying for their curated network. Consulting-grade quality. Staff-aug economics.
Whether you need a single specialist, an embedded team, or full project delivery, we match pre-vetted talent to your needs and back them with real support.
Staffing agencies send resumes. Consulting firms sell overhead. We solve problems.
Every engagement includes a dedicated point of contact who understands your business, not a recruiter reading a job description. Larger teams get expert oversight to keep projects on track.
Our platform surfaces better specialists faster. You track progress, shortlists, and hiring metrics in a real-time dashboard. And we only succeed when your hires succeed.
The result: 7-day average time to first qualified specialist. 1 in 3 presented gets hired.
Three ways to engage:
1. Talent On Demand: 1-2 specialists to fill a gap. You manage them. We're here when you need us.
2. Embedded Teams: We help design and staff a team, with expert oversight to make sure it's working.
3. Managed Delivery: Full project ownership. We scope, staff, run, and deliver.
You choose the model that fits. Start with one, expand as trust builds.
An FDE is a senior engineer who embeds directly in your operation, on-site or deeply integrated into your remote workflows, and operates as part of your team.
FDEs don't wait for specs. They learn your environment, identify what needs to happen, and start solving. Think of it as the gap between staff augmentation and consulting: you get someone who thinks like a consultant but works like a teammate.
We deploy FDEs for platform implementations (Palantir Foundry, Snowflake, Databricks), custom integrations, and complex technical problem-solving that requires real-time context.
Yes. We maintain deep expertise and curated specialist networks for both Palantir Foundry and Anthropic Claude.
For Palantir, our network includes certified Foundry developers, ontology architects, and platform engineers who have deployed across defense, energy, financial services, and enterprise operations.
For Anthropic Claude, we staff and deliver across the full ecosystem — from Claude API integrations to enterprise-grade agentic systems.
We also work across the broader technology landscape: AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, and more.
100-day performance guarantee. If a placement doesn't work out, we replace them at no cost.
But our real protection is built into how we work: AI matching for fit, human validation for quality, and expert oversight to catch problems early. The result is offer acceptance and retention rates that exceed industry averages.
Our primary focus is Technology & AI. That's our growth engine and where we've built the deepest expertise.
We also serve:
• Energy — engineering and operations talent
• Financial Services — data, analytics, and platform teams
• Private Equity — portfolio company operational talent
