For teams that want their workflows automated · placed within 4 weeks

Hire the person who builds the agents.

A dedicated, full‑time AI automation engineer — remote, from our Colombo bench, screened by the team that builds B‑Spec’s own agents — with a B‑Spec project manager included, at no charge, to turn your priorities into specs and manage delivery. They map your workflows, connect your systems, build the automations, and document everything so it stays yours.

Same rule as everywhere on this site: prices and policies in writing, no invented performance claims.

The bench today — five screened engineers. Anonymised here on purpose: real CVs and interviews when you brief us.

How this fits with the agents

Two hires, one direction.

The builder and the agent are different jobs that point the same way. Many teams will want both — in either order.

This page · the human

The agent builder automates your workflows.

An engineer who joins your team full‑time — with a B‑Spec project manager included — maps the manual work, connects the systems, builds and maintains the automations, and writes everything down so it stays yours. From ≈ US$3,000 a month, about 2.5× an agent’s salary — because it’s a person and a PM, doing a different job.

The other page · the AI

The agent runs the work, and learns your way.

An AI staff member on one workflow — drafting, chasing, following up — with a named person approving everything and a training file your firm keeps. AED 4,500 a month, live in 72 hours.

The job description

What your builder actually does.

  • Maps the manual work — sits with your team (on video), finds where the hours actually go, and writes the automation plan you approve.
  • Connects your systems — inboxes, spreadsheets, accounting tools, WhatsApp, your website — so data stops being retyped.
  • Builds and maintains the automations — including AI agents where they fit — and fixes what breaks, because things break.
  • Documents everything — every workflow, every credential, every decision, in writing. If you part ways, the work stays yours.

How hiring works

Four weeks, counted.

Week 1

Brief & shortlist.

One call on what you need automated. We send screened CVs from the bench — engineers our own team has already interviewed and tested.

Week 2

You interview.

Meet the candidates yourself, on video. You choose the person — we don’t assign one.

Week 3–4

They start.

Contracts signed, systems access set up, first workflow mapped. Placed within four weeks of the brief — that’s the promise this page is held to.

The terms · in US dollars

One managed engagement. In writing.

Hiring & onboarding US$5,000 One‑off, when you confirm your chosen candidate. Covers sourcing, screening, testing, the four‑week placement and systems onboarding.
Six‑month engagement most pick this US$21,500 ≈ US$3,583/mo Most businesses get most of the value here — six months is usually enough to automate the core workflows. Renew only if there’s more worth building.
Annual engagement US$36,000/year ≈ US$3,000/mo About 16% lower per month — for teams that want the builder to stay, keep improving what’s built, and take on the next workflows.
Project manager US$0 · included A B‑Spec project manager refines requirements, prioritises, estimates and manages delivery — at no charge. Your team’s part is a weekly review, not day‑to‑day management.
Placement 4 weeks From the brief call to your engineer’s first day. Five screened candidates are on the bench today. A dedicated, full‑time engineer working your business day, 90 minutes behind Gulf time — no visa, insurance, gratuity or desk on your books.

Notice and replacement terms are set out in the engagement letter before you commit — ask and we’ll send it.

Why our bench is different: these engineers are screened by the team that builds B‑Spec’s own agents — the same people behind our open research programme. We hire for the work we do ourselves, and place from the same pipeline.

Straight answers

The questions you should ask.

Who manages the engineer — you or us?
It’s a managed engagement. You set the priorities; a B‑Spec project manager — included, at no charge — refines the requirements, prioritises, estimates and manages delivery; the engineer builds. Your team’s part is a weekly review, not writing specs or day‑to‑day management.
Where are they based, and what hours do they work?
Colombo, Sri Lanka — 90 minutes behind Gulf time, working your business day. Fully remote; video interviews before you choose, video standups after.
What happens if it’s not working out?
The notice and replacement terms are in the engagement letter you sign before anyone starts — in writing, before money moves, same as everything else we sell. Ask on WhatsApp and we’ll send the current letter.
Is this instead of hiring an agent?
Different jobs. The builder automates your workflows; the agent runs one and learns your firm’s way. Teams that want both usually start with whichever hurts most — and the builder can deploy agents as part of the automation work.

Tell us what your team retypes.

That’s usually where automation starts. Two messages on WhatsApp and we’ll tell you honestly whether a builder, an agent, or neither is the right first hire.
