Kiyansh Group places senior, US-based ServiceNow developers on contract, contract-to-hire, and direct terms. Every candidate is technically screened on real ITSM work, scripting, and integrations before you see a resume — no offshore hand-offs, no keyword-matched profiles. If you have an instance to build, stabilize, or extend, we send people who can do the work on day one.
Tell us what you need →We staff ServiceNow developers across the engagement types most teams actually need: contract for a defined build or backlog, contract-to-hire when you want a working trial before a full-time offer, and direct placement when you already know you need a permanent hire. Roles range from mid to senior — ITSM configuration, catalog and workflow development, Flow Designer and Integration Hub work, scripting-heavy customization, and platform integrations with external systems.
Our developers are US-based and work in your time zone. Placements go through Kiyansh directly, including as a sub-vendor to MSPs and prime vendors on private-sector and government engagements — so there is no chain of unknown offshore subcontractors between you and the person writing code in your instance. You know who is on the keyboard.
We also build software with AI-augmented senior teams, so when a staffing engagement turns into 'we actually need this whole module built,' we can flex from a single contractor to a small delivery team without restarting the search.
Screening is where most staffing firms cut corners, and it is where we spend the most effort. Before a candidate reaches you, they go through a technical screen run by someone who has actually built on the platform. That means walking through real work they've shipped — a catalog item they designed end to end, a business rule or client script they wrote and why, an integration they stood up and how they handled failures — not reciting module names.
We probe the specific things that separate a real ServiceNow developer from a resume: whether they understand the difference between a business rule, a client script, and a script include and when to use each; how they scope GlideRecord queries and avoid performance traps; how they handle ACLs and data separation; and how they approach upgrades without breaking customizations. We ask about the messy parts — debugging a failing REST integration, untangling someone else's over-customized instance, migrating update sets cleanly.
Candidates who pass can explain trade-offs, not just click through the UI. If a person can't defend their own architectural decisions in a technical conversation, they don't go forward. This is slower than resume forwarding, and it is the entire point of using us.
For ITSM and scripting work, we look for strong server-side and client-side JavaScript — GlideRecord, GlideAjax, business rules, script includes, client scripts, and UI policies/actions. Solid candidates are fluent in Flow Designer and Workflow, the Service Catalog, ACLs and data model design, and Update Set and application scoping discipline. For platform work, familiarity with the ServiceNow Studio, Automated Test Framework, and instance performance tuning separates senior from mid.
Integrations are their own competency. We screen for REST and SOAP integration experience, Integration Hub and custom spokes, MID Server configuration, IntegrationHub ETL or import set work, transform maps, and real-world experience connecting ServiceNow to systems like Active Directory, Jira, monitoring tools, and HR platforms. Knowing how to authenticate, paginate, and handle retries and error logging matters more than knowing a connector exists.
On certifications, the Certified System Administrator (CSA) is table stakes, and Certified Application Developer (CAD) plus role-relevant Certified Implementation Specialist (CIS) tracks — CIS-ITSM in particular — are strong signals. We treat certs as a filter, not proof; a certified developer still has to pass the technical screen. We'd rather send an uncertified engineer with five hard integrations behind them than a paper-certified one who has never debugged in production.
Contract engagements are typically month-to-month or fixed-term against a scope you define. Contract-to-hire runs a trial period — usually a few months — before conversion, which protects both sides on a permanent role. Direct placement is a one-time search when you know you need a full-time developer. Rates and structure depend on seniority, clearance requirements, and whether we're engaging directly or as a sub-vendor to your prime.
On timing: because we screen before submitting, realistic time-to-fill for a well-defined ServiceNow contract role is generally on the order of one to a few weeks to first qualified submittals, faster for common ITSM and scripting profiles and longer for niche integration or cleared-government needs. Tight requirements — specific CIS tracks, a hard security clearance, or a narrow domain — extend the window. We'll tell you honestly at intake whether your requirement is a one-week or a one-month search.
No. Our ServiceNow developers are US-based and placed through Kiyansh directly, including when we work as a sub-vendor to an MSP or prime. There is no offshore hand-off and no anonymous chain of subcontractors between you and the person building in your instance.
A technical screen run by someone who has built on the platform. We walk through real work the candidate shipped — catalog items, scripts, integrations — and probe trade-offs like business rule vs. client script vs. script include, GlideRecord performance, ACLs, and integration error handling. Certifications are a filter, not a substitute for passing that conversation.
For a well-defined ITSM or scripting role, generally one to a few weeks to first qualified submittals. Niche integration work, specific CIS certifications, or security-cleared government requirements take longer. We assess your requirement at intake and tell you the realistic window up front.
