Manifesto

Not a job board. A private bridge.

Organizations never browse a talent pool. Developers never spray résumés into public listings. We screen, tier, and introduce — then stay in the room until contacts unlock after hire.

How it works

Brief → Screen → Refer → Hire → Disclose

Five beats. We stay the bridge at every step.

  1. 01

    Brief

    You define the role. We never open a pool.

    Share the stack, seniority band, timezone, and hard constraints. Zenith works from your brief alone — organizations never browse developers.

    Screen

    Every developer is reviewed before referral.

    CZ runs a screening interview and grades talent Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert. Only screened profiles enter the referral path.

    Contacts unlock after agreement — not before.

Privacy

Redacted by default.

The brokerage stays confidential until the process is complete — verification before introduction, agreement before disclosure.

  • 01

    Anonymized until hire

    Organizations see redacted profiles. Name, email, phone, and links stay staff- or owner-only until placement allows disclosure.

  • 02

    We create the match

    There is no self-serve talent marketplace. You brief us; we curate referrals that fit.

  • 03

    Agreement before contacts

    Contacts unlock after hire and a signed CodeZenith↔organization placement fee agreement.

Talent tiers

Three tiers, honestly graded

Every developer is reviewed by our team — organizations get the level they asked for.

  • Beginner

    Emerging developers with strong fundamentals and standout projects. Ready to grow fast.

  • Intermediate

    Professionals who own features end to end and thrive in a real product team.

  • Expert

    Senior and principal engineers who lead architecture, mentor teams, and ship at scale.

FAQ

Screening, privacy, tiers, and placement — how Zenith Talent actually works.

No. Zenith Talent is a managed developer brokerage from CodeZenith. Organizations never browse a talent pool, and developers never self-apply to public listings. We screen, tier, and introduce privately.

Submit a hire request with your role, stack, and seniority needs. We match screened developers and share anonymized profiles. When there is mutual interest, we schedule the interview and stay the bridge through placement.

A one-time fee of 15% of annual salary, charged after placement. There is no subscription for matching and no public marketplace. The fee covers screening, private referral, interview coordination, and the placement bridge.

Profiles stay redacted until hire and a signed CodeZenith↔organization placement fee agreement. Contact details unlock only then. Staff may hold disclosure until the fee is paid, depending on the placement.

Every developer is reviewed by our team and graded before referral. Beginner: strong fundamentals, ready to grow. Intermediate: owns features end to end. Expert: leads architecture and ships at scale. Organizations get the level they asked for.
