Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring from overseas

Where do you hire talent from?

We source exceptional talent from three key regions: the Philippines, Latin America, and South Africa. Each region offers unique advantages in terms of time zones, cultural alignment, and specialized skill sets to meet your business needs.

How do you ensure the quality of candidates?

We rigorously vet all candidates, including skill evaluations and background checks, and provide ongoing support to maintain high performance.

What time zones do your hires work in?

Our hires are flexible and can work within your preferred time zone, tailored to the role’s requirements.

How quickly can you fill a position?

Between 24 hours and two weeks, depending on the role. Some roles are instant, because we keep vetted candidates on hand. A virtual assistant is usually sourced within 24 hours. Narrow skill combinations, such as a designer who needs both Figma and Webflow, take up to two weeks.
