From first call to their last day, handled.

Before day one
Step 1: We find them
You tell us the role. We write the job description, source, screen and run the technical assessment. You get a shortlist, not a pile of CVs.
Step 2: You choose
You interview the shortlist and choose who joins. Everyone you meet has already cleared our technical, English and time zone availability checks. We also take care of background verification and contracts.
Step 3: They start
Desk, equipment, software access, contracts and payroll are in place for their first day. From there, you manage the work.
From day one
Week one
Someone checks in on how they are settling in, not just whether the laptop works.
Every month
Payroll and attendance are handled, and you get one invoice for all of it.
When something slips
Local supervision and HR are on the ground, so you are not handling it from another country.
When someone leaves
Exit interview, knowledge transfer, asset recovery and final settlement, all handled.
