The Problem We Solved
Agencies deliver templated work with inflated retainers.
Freelancers churn, ghost, and juggle other clients.
In-house hiring eats time, budget, and bandwidth — and still can’t scale fast enough.
Most outsourcing solutions treat talent like temps — so they don’t show up like pros.
What We Built Instead
Full-time embedded teams — not freelancers. Real connection. Real accountability.
Vetted for experience, communication, and context. People who actually think like owners.
No recruiter markups. No hidden fees. Just transparent monthly pricing.
Real jobs, real benefits = real accountability and performance.

Our Model
How we turned offshore hiring on its head — building full-time embedded teams that think long-term, stay accountable, and deliver real performance.
Top-Tier, Global Talent
We source in regions where talent is deep but underrepresented — and treat them like the professionals they are. That’s how we attract people you’ll never find on Upwork.

We go beyond resumes. Every candidate is vetted for values, communication, and capability — not just credentials.
And we only hire people we’d want to work with ourselves. That’s why our clients stick around.
We’re so confident in our process, you only pay if it works. No recruitment fees. No risk if it’s not the right fit.
