Our approach for sourcing QA engineers
01
Define requirements
We start by understanding your product, testing needs, and project goals. Based on these requirements, we define the exact skills and experience needed to hire a QA engineer.
02
Source QA talent
Whether you need to hire QA testers, a manual tester, or an automation specialist, we focus on relevant experience rather than simply filling a position.
03
Vet candidates
Every candidate goes through a structured screening process. This helps you hire a software tester who can integrate into your team and start contributing quickly.
04
Interview shortlisted QAs
We present you with a curated shortlist of QA professionals who match your requirements. You interview the candidates and choose the specialist who best fits your team.
05
Onboard your team
Once you select your candidates, Newxel handles the administrative side. You can hire software testers in 2–4 weeks while we continue supporting the team throughout the engagement.

Why founders hire QA testers with Newxel
Market expertise
With 9+ years of experience in global talent markets, we know where to find qualified QA engineers and how to reach them effectively. Our recruitment team understands local talent pools, sourcing channels, salary benchmarks, and hiring conditions across key European and international markets.
Access to a wider talent pool
Instead of limiting your search to the local market, we connect you with QA specialists across multiple hiring locations. This gives you access to a broader pool of manual testers, automation engineers, and QA specialists.
Faster hiring
Our established sourcing channels and recruitment processes help you hire QA testers in 2–4 weeks. We manage sourcing, screening, and coordination so founders can focus on interviewing the most relevant candidates.
95% talent matching
We don't just search for a generic software tester for hire. We match candidates against your product, technology stack, testing methodology, seniority requirements, and team structure.
HR, legal, payroll
Newxel supports your QA team beyond recruitment, covering HR, legal, payroll, and finance. You get the talent you need without building additional operational infrastructure.
A retention-first model
98% talent retention isn't an accident, we screen for long-term fit, not just technical boxes checked, because a QA engineer who leaves in three months costs you more than the search itself.

Tackling critical hiring challenges with Newxel
Most companies don’t struggle to hire QA engineers because good testers don’t exist. They struggle because the problems compound: a narrow local talent pool inflates timelines, long timelines force compromise on skill fit, and compromised hires are the ones most likely to leave which resets the search from zero.
Limited access to qualified talent
Most companies search one city, one country, one talent pool, and then wonder why the shortlist is thin. We recruit across a global network, so “qualified” isn’t limited by geography. You get candidates matched to your technical requirements and seniority level, not whoever happened to apply locally this month.
Long hiring timelines
Every week a QA seat sits empty, untested code ships anyway, the risk doesn’t pause for your hiring process. Our sourcing and vetting pipeline is already running before you need it, which is how we compress a 2–4 month search into 2–4 weeks without cutting corners on screening.
Hard-to-find specialized skills
“QA engineer” hides enormous variance, a manual tester, an automation specialist, and a performance engineer solve different problems and need different people. We search for the specific skill your project needs, whether that’s a niche framework or deep experience in your exact tech stack, instead of handing you a generalist and hoping it works out.
High talent turnover
Turnover isn’t just an HR statistic, it’s project knowledge walking out the door mid-sprint, and a second search you didn’t budget for. Our 98% retention rate comes from vetting for long-term fit up front, not just technical boxes checked, so the engineer who joins your team is still there a year later.
Administrative and compliance burden
Hiring across borders means payroll, tax, and legal complexity most product teams aren’t equipped to own, and shouldn’t have to be. We handle HR, legal, payroll, and finance, so your team’s time goes into managing the work, not learning employment law in a market you don’t operate in.
