Hire options

Would you like to hire individuals or a dedicated team?

Every organisation has different needs. Synapsys gives you the flexibility to hire a single specialist for a defined role or build a dedicated team that grows or reduces based on your project requirements.

Option 1

Hire an individual specialist

Best suited for organisations that need a specific skillset to support an existing team, fill a capability gap, or deliver a defined project requirement.

  • Ideal for specific AI, data, cloud or software skill gaps
  • Suitable for short-term or long-term contractor needs
  • Can support internal teams onsite, hybrid or remotely
  • Works well for project-based delivery or advisory support

Key questions we will ask

  • What role or skillset are you looking for?
  • Do you need the specialist full-time or part-time?
  • Is this for a short-term project or long-term engagement?
  • Should the specialist work onsite, hybrid or remotely?
  • What is the expected start date?
  • What tools, platforms or technologies are required?

Option 2

Build a dedicated team

Best suited for organisations that need a complete AI, technology or project delivery team without the complexity of hiring internally.

  • Start small and scale as your project grows
  • Downsize the team when project demand reduces
  • Engage short-term, long-term or on an annual basis
  • No penalty for scaling up or down based on agreed project needs

Key questions we will ask

  • What business outcome do you want the team to deliver?
  • What roles do you already have internally?
  • What roles do you need Synapsys to provide?
  • How many team members do you need initially?
  • Do you expect the team size to change during the project?
