01

What employing them yourself involves

Hiring offshore is the easy part. Employing someone in another country is where it gets expensive.

The contract

Labour law you have never read, in a country you do not operate in

Statutory benefits, government contributions, and a termination process with real penalties.

The resignation

Your best hire gives notice in month seven

The search starts from zero, on your time, while the work piles up behind an empty seat.

The drift

Nobody owns their performance, so it slides

No reviews, no goals, no one to raise it with. Small problems stay quiet until they are big ones.

02

What the monthly fee carries

Seven things you stop worrying about the day they start.

The big one

Employment liability fully assumed

They are employed by us, not you. Contract, payroll, statutory benefits and termination risk sit on our books.Contract, payroll, benefits and termination risk sit on our books.

Employing them yourself

Local entity or contractor risk, benefits admin, and a new search every time someone leaves.

Managed HR

One monthly fee. We carry the employment, and the seat stays filled.

06

When this is the wrong service

Managed HR is for seats you want filled for the long run, without carrying the employment. Two cases where that is the wrong shape.

You want them on your own payroll

Done-For-You Hiring

We find them, you employ them. One placement fee and no monthly cost after. Done-For-You Hiring

You need them for weeks, not years

Talent on Demand

A trial, a document review, eight weeks of overflow. A full-time hire makes no sense there. Talent on Demand

The backfill guarantee

If your operator leaves, for any reason, we put someone new in the seat. You do not pay for the search.

Resignation, a move, or a fit that stopped working. Tell us, and the replacement search starts that week.
