Mission
Make QA work easy to find, price and trust.
Quality assurance is a skilled craft that job boards treat as an afterthought. Pay is hidden, titles vary, and hiring managers cannot tell a manual tester from an SDET. We fix that with one taxonomy of 15 roles, one published price list and one rule: pay before promises.
For hiring teams
Request QA staff and get a shortlist in a median of 4 working days. Hire directly, add a dedicated team or run project testing from a published rate card.
Hire QAFor people who want flexible work
PassRidge Flex gives you 3 to 4 hour project tasks next to your main job: test cycles, automation scripts, localisation and more, paid hourly or per project.
How Flex worksHow we work
Six principles we apply on every search
These are operating rules, not slogans. Each one changes what a recruiter does on a Tuesday afternoon.
Pay upfront
Pay is on every listing
Salary, day rate or hourly rate is shown before you apply. If a client will not disclose a range, we do not advertise the role.
QA only
We recruit one profession
15 QA roles, nothing else. Our recruiters read test plans, bug reports and framework code, so a shortlist is evidence, not keywords.
No candidate fees
Candidates never pay
No placement fee, no training fee, no 'registration deposit'. Clients pay us. Anyone asking you for money is not PassRidge.
People decide
No automated rejection
Software sorts and searches. A person decides who goes forward and why, and you can ask for the reason.
Consent first
Your CV stays with us until you say yes
No CV leaves PassRidge without your consent for that employer and that role. You can delete your profile at any time.

Numbers come with their method
Salary figures show sources, sample size and date. Estimates are labelled as estimates.
