Frequently asked questions

Straight answers, before you commit.

The honest questions every operator asks before hiring offshore — how the vetting works, who carries the compliance, what happens if a hire does not work out, and how the timezones play out. If your question is not here, just ask us.

All questions

Getting started

How do we get started?

It starts with a short discovery call. We map the role, the must-have skills, the timezone overlap you need, and how your team works, then scope it precisely. From agreement to an embedded, vetted hire is usually 10 to 20 days.

How fast can you fill a role?

Most roles go from first call to embedded hire in 10 to 20 days. You can typically expect a shortlist of vetted finalists within about a week of the agreement. Highly specialized or senior roles can take a little longer, because we would rather present the right candidate than a fast wrong one.

What roles do you place?

Six service lines — specialized staffing, back office support, marketing and social media, accounting and finance, IT and technical support, and data and analytics — covering everything from virtual and executive assistants to bookkeepers, customer support, software developers, and sales development reps.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Engagements are designed to scale with you. We will walk you through the term, the replacement-guarantee window, and how to scale up or wind down during your discovery call, so there are no surprises and no lock-in you did not agree to.

Vetting & quality

How do you vet candidates?

Every candidate clears skills testing, an English-fluency assessment, and background and reference checks before they reach you. You interview a shortlist of vetted finalists — never a raw résumé pile — and you make the final hiring decision.

Will the talent speak fluent English?

Yes. English fluency is part of our screening, and both of our talent regions — the Philippines and Latin America — have deep pools of professionals who work fluently with US teams every day.

How do you ensure work quality over time?

A US-based account lead owns the relationship and runs regular check-ins on performance. If a placement is not meeting the bar within the contract period, we replace them at no additional placement fee — the quality risk sits with us.

Compliance & payroll

Do we need to set up a foreign entity?

No. We carry the entities, contracts, local employment compliance, payroll, and taxes. You get world-class talent without opening an overseas entity or taking on misclassification risk — and you receive one clean US invoice.

How does payroll and invoicing work?

We handle paying your offshore team member in their local jurisdiction, in compliance with local law. You receive a single, transparent invoice in US dollars — no multi-currency reconciliation and no hidden markups.

Who is the legal employer?

We manage the employment relationship and the compliance that comes with it, so you do not carry the legal and tax exposure of a direct foreign hire. We will walk you through exactly how the engagement is structured before you start.

Replacements & support

What if a hire does not work out?

We offer unlimited replacements within the contract period. If a placement is not the right fit, we source and vet a replacement at no additional placement fee. The risk of a bad hire is ours, which is exactly what makes us accountable for the match.

Who manages the day-to-day relationship?

A US-based account lead — your single point of contact in the United States — owns onboarding, check-ins, performance, and any escalation, in your timezone and working style. You get offshore talent with onshore accountability.

Can we scale a team up or down?

Yes. Many clients start with one role and grow from there. Because we already know your business and your bar, adding the next hire is faster each time — and we can adjust the team as your needs change.

Regions & timezones

Where is the talent based?

We staff from the Philippines and Latin America. The Philippines offers a deep, English-fluent support and back-office pool and follow-the-sun or US-night-shift coverage; Latin America offers real-time overlap with US business hours and strong developer and bilingual talent.

How do you handle timezone differences?

We match your hire to your working hours. When you need real-time overlap, we lean toward Latin America or a daytime-overlap schedule; when you want work handed off overnight, the Philippines provides follow-the-sun coverage. The schedule is part of how we scope the role.

Which region is right for us?

It depends on the role, the hours you need covered, and your budget. Our Philippines vs. Latin America guide breaks down the trade-offs, and we will recommend the best fit during scoping — it is never a one-size answer.

Data security

How is our data kept secure?

Your hire works inside your tools, your access controls, and your security policies — the same way an in-house team member would. Because they are managed through a formal employment relationship rather than an anonymous marketplace, accountability and confidentiality obligations are clear and contractual.

Can offshore team members sign NDAs and follow our policies?

Yes. Placements operate under formal agreements and are expected to follow your confidentiality, security, and acceptable-use policies just like any other member of your team. We will align on the specifics as part of onboarding.

Still have a question?

Ask us directly — we answer straight.

Tell us what you are trying to solve and we'll give you an honest answer, not a sales pitch. And if you're ready, we'll come back with vetted candidates — usually within 10 to 20 days.
