Frequently Asked Questions

Maverick provides a pool of top student IT talent, trained and ready to work for clients seeking to increase their staff. Once a student is hired by a client, Maverick handles all administrative tasks — background checks, drug screens, payroll setup, and onboarding — as well as day-to-day management of the student.

Yes. A Maverick Manager will be assigned to onboard, train, and manage the student(s). This Manager is your point of contact and can address any questions or concerns.

You tell us which skills you are seeking for your team, and we'll search our talent database and send you names and information for several students matching your needs. You have the opportunity to interview each of the students and select the one that best fits your team.

Maverick recruits and interviews students from universities across the United States year-round, ensuring we always have a large pool of top IT talent ready to match to client needs.

Contact your Maverick Manager as early as possible and communicate your concerns. The Manager will work with the student to correct the problem and will be in regular contact with you regarding updates and progress. The student would be terminated if behavior or performance does not improve.

The sky is really the limit. Our students can help on almost any project as long as they have someone to show them the ropes and help mentor them.

We're happy to talk through any questions, concerns, or risks you have with no obligation or commitment to proceed. We can review your requirements, search our queue of students for a good fit, and share a list of qualified students at no cost.

No, there are no placement fees. That's one of the big values Maverick brings to the table. We want to help you build your IT workforce, and charging a placement fee would just add an obstacle to the process.

It's really the same process you'd follow for any new employee. Each student is assigned to a Manager or Technical Lead at your company who is responsible for helping them get set up on systems, providing work direction, and mentoring on company-specific knowledge like coding standards and processes.

The students can work on almost any project, but it's best if they stay away from mission-critical projects. At the end of the day, they are still college students — school is the top priority, and we never ask a student to skip a class to get more work done.
