Direct Hire
We run the search. You make the hire.
Companies who already have a way to contract and pay people abroad. We run the search: brief, headhunt, vetting and shortlist. You interview, you make the offer, and the person joins your payroll directly. We are out of the loop the day they start.
Zero cost to recruit · placed in 2-4 weeks · forever replacement
- Role scoping and a written brief we both agree on
- Custom headhunt across our regions
- Skills vetting on a real task before you meet anyone
- Shortlist with notes on why each person made it
- Interview scheduling and offer support
What it is
Direct Hire, in plain terms.
It suits companies who already have an entity, a contractor agreement, or an EOR they like, and who only need the hard part solved: finding someone genuinely good.
You pay only on a successful hire, so the search costs you nothing if it does not produce someone you want.

When a candidate signs. Not on shortlist, not on interview, and nothing if you decide none of them are right.
We rerun the search at no cost inside the first six months.
Usually 3 to 5 days from the discovery call, and 2 to 4 weeks for harder or more senior roles. We headhunt against your brief rather than forwarding a database, so the shortlist is built for you.
You get a forever replacement at no extra cost, plus a 14-day money-back guarantee. We carry the risk of a bad match, not you.
