Find your perfect hiring match. Use this quick guide to decide which model fits your current workflow.
| Feature | 👤 Direct Hire | 📋 Managed Talent |
|---|---|---|
| Who employs them? | You do. The professional signs directly with your company and goes onto your payroll. | We do. They remain our employee — we handle all global payroll, contracts, compliance, and taxes. |
| Who manages their daily work? | You do. You have full control over their tasks, training, schedule, and performance. | Our team lead does. We track attendance, task completion, and quality on your behalf. |
| How does pricing work? | One-time placement fee. Pay a single finding fee, then pay your new hire directly. | Flat monthly rate. One simple invoice covers the talent, management, and support. |
| How do they communicate? | They join your tools (Slack, Teams, etc.) and work like an in-house team member. | They talk with you daily — with an account manager working behind the scenes to keep things on track. |
| What's the backup plan? | 90-day replacement guarantee. If it's not the right fit early on, we find a free replacement. | Instant coverage. If someone is out or leaves, we replace them immediately so work never stops. |
