Do we need a company in India?

No. Our India-based employment partner is already established there and employs your hire on your behalf. You never register anything in India or hold a rupee account.

How Employer of Record works

What hours will they work?

You set the overlap before we recruit, and we hire against it. India is 4.5 hours ahead of the UK in summer and 5.5 in winter, so a normal Indian working day already covers most of yours.

What if the hire does not work out?

Every placement carries a 6-week probation period. If it is not right within that window we restart the search at no additional fee.
