Two options. One agency.

Local · North America, UK, Australia & EU

When the role has to be on-site, licensed, or where you operate, we recruit locally. Same rigorous process, flat fee. It costs more because the pool is smaller and the search is harder — that's the honest answer.

The process

Rigorous. End-to-end. Quality guaranteed.

Our recruiters spend around 100 hours on each campaign. By the time a candidate reaches you, we already know they can do the work.

1

A rich application built for your role — CV, LinkedIn, role-specific written questions, and language and communication samples. Every applicant answers the same questions so you can compare fairly.

2

Every application is reviewed. Our team builds a shortlist and actively advocates for strong candidates you might have passed over.

3

A 20-minute video screening call with every shortlisted candidate — professionalism, communication, compensation alignment, and anything that didn't come through in writing.

4

Your interviews, coordinated by our team — remote or in-person, structured with evidence-based guides we provide.

5

A custom practical assessment designed for the role: auto-graded take-home test with anti-AI safeguards, or a paid trial. We help design, structure, and coordinate it. Tests evaluate hard skills and the soft skills that matter for the role. Local candidates are compensated for their time.

6

Professional reference checks from past managers. Then an onboarding call from our team before they start.

Common questions

How do I know if offshore is right for my role?

If the work can be done remotely and doesn't require an in-market licence or physical presence, offshore is almost always the better option — higher calibre of applicant, faster search, and a fraction of the cost. We'll tell you honestly which way to go.

When does it have to be local?

On-site roles, licensed or credentialed positions, and roles where being physically in the market matters. Everything else is a candidate for offshore.

What does the flat fee cover?

Everything: the search, the full vetting process, shortlist delivery, and the guarantee. Nothing scales with salary.

How is this different from a contingency recruiter?

Most agencies charge 20–25% of first-year salary and give you a 90-day guarantee. We charge a flat fee and guarantee six months. We also publish our prices, which almost nobody does.

What's the guarantee?

Six months, replacement search. If the hire doesn't work out within six months, we search again.

How long does it take?

Offshore Ready-to-Hire: ~2 weeks. Custom offshore and all local searches: ~6 weeks. We don't cut corners to go faster — the process is what makes the guarantee worth anything.
