Performance is not luck. It's systems.

We don't forward résumés. We send the two or three people we would hire ourselves, and nobody else.

Every candidate is assessed for English, checked for experience, and interviewed for how they actually work. The bar is the product.

One U.S. contract. One invoice. A replacement in 3–5 business days if a hire isn't right.

The standard

How do we vet every candidate?

Three checks before anyone reaches you, then you choose. You meet only the 2–3 who clear all of them, each with a dossier.

  1. English, verified

    Assessed at B2 to C2 before anything else.

  2. Experience, matched

    1–3, 4–6, or 7+ years, checked against the role’s level.

  3. Working style

    Interviewed for how they work, not just what they know.

  4. You decide

    You interview the finalists and choose who joins your team.

The difference

Staffing agency, freelance marketplace, or BPO?

A staffing agency gives you a dedicated, pre-vetted person who works for you. A marketplace leaves the vetting and paperwork to you. A BPO runs the function with its own team.
