Common Questions

Things people ask before booking

  • How does the 30-day replacement guarantee work?

    If your hire is not the right fit in the first 30 days, for any reason, we find you a replacement at no extra cost. Less than 3% of clients ever use it, but it is there so you are never stuck.

  • How quickly can my hire start?

    Most hires are working within 21 days. After your discovery call, we send a shortlist in 5-7 business days. You pick your candidate, we handle the rest.

  • What tools and timezone do they work in?

    Your team member works in your tools from day one, whether that is Slack, Notion, Jira, or whatever you use. India overlaps with European mornings and can work extended hours for US coverage. Most clients find 4-6 hours of real-time overlap, plus async work outside that window.

  • Can I scale up or cancel anytime?

    Yes. You can add team members with 30 days notice. There are no long-term contracts required. If your needs change, your team can change with them.

  • What is included in the monthly price?

    Everything. Salary, payroll contributions, office space, IT equipment, benefits, and compliance. One invoice, no surprises.

  • How do you protect my IP and data?

    Every team member signs an NDA and IP assignment agreement on day one. They work from a secure, managed office environment. We carry the legal and compliance risk so you do not have to.

  • What does the hiring process look like end to end?

    It starts with a 30-minute discovery call, then we shortlist 2-3 candidates within 5-7 days. You interview, you choose. We handle onboarding, compliance, and setup. Most hires are working within 21 days. See the full process →
