Nexton delivers matched, pre-vetted candidates within 72 hours of receiving a clear job brief. Average time-to-hire is 4 weeks. Neither number depends on lowering the bar — they depend on when the vetting happens.

**What happens in the first 72 hours?**

Hour zero: your brief arrives — role, stack, seniority, time zone needs. Hours 1–24: the talent team maps the brief against the vetted network. Every profile in that network already passed a peer technical interview. Hours 24–72: candidates are confirmed for availability and interest, and their technical evaluations are matched against your specific requirements. Hour 72: you receive matched candidates with the interviewing engineer's notes.

**Why is speed possible without lowering the bar?**

Because the vetting is already done. Most providers start evaluating after you ask — so you wait for their process. Nexton's network is vetted continuously, before any brief exists. The 72 hours are matching time, not screening time. That is the structural difference between a vetted network and an on-demand search.

**What do you get at hour 72?**

Not a stack of resumes. Each candidate comes with the peer interview evaluation: what was tested, how they reasoned, where they are strong. Your interviews start from evidence, not from scratch — which is why the average time from brief to signed offer is 4 weeks instead of the 3+ months typical of US senior searches.

**What does Nexton need from you?**
