How it works

How to build an offshore team, from briefing to first day in 3–4 weeks

You tell us the role. We advertise it fresh in Sri Lanka or the Philippines, screen applicants, and shortlist roughly the top 1–2%. You interview and choose, and we handle the offer, IT and setup. Most roles are filled in 3–4 weeks.
