"Will is a fantastic mentor, constantly engaged and dedicated to improving our QA processes. Helping us create a much more stable product."
“His presence was a breath of fresh air. His technical understanding in the QA field is second to none and he brought so many fresh ideas to our product development process.”
“One of the most professional, collaborative, and detail-oriented enterprise test leaders I've had the pleasure to work with.”
Built by someone who's been in the room.
After more than 20 years leading software testing across the UK, US, South Africa and New Zealand, Will saw the same gap repeatedly: growing businesses needed experienced testing support, but often had to choose between large consultancies with significant overhead or contractors they knew very little about.
TestPilot combines experienced, ISTQB-qualified testers with senior QA oversight. Every tester Will recommends is someone he's personally worked with, interviewed, or would confidently put on his own projects.
The reasoning, if you want it.
The proof comes first. For teams that want to understand the commercial model, vetting and comparison in more detail, it's all still here.
Why companies switch from large consultancies
Senior accountability, people who can join in days, and less big-firm overhead. TestPilot is designed so you pay for the testing capability you need rather than a consulting pyramid.
| TestPilot | Large consultancy | Recruiter placement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Senior QA oversight | Included | Typically | Usually not |
| Known / vetted tester | Yes | Varies | Candidate screening |
| Speed to start | Days | Varies | Recruitment cycle |
How quickly can a tester start?
Usually within days. Our testers are known to us and available now, so there's no recruitment cycle.
How do you vet testers?
Every tester we recommend is someone Will has personally worked with, interviewed, or would confidently place on his own projects. Most are ISTQB certified, and every engagement is overseen by a senior test manager.
Onsite or remote?
Both. TestPilot has testers in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, as well as experienced remote testers.
What does it cost?
It depends on the role, seniority and engagement length. As a guide, expect around 30% less than large NZ testing consultancies, with no retainers or lock-ins.
Need testing support?
Twenty minutes is enough to work out whether TestPilot can help.
