Founders who've hired with us.
I am extremely pleased with the hiring process and the candidates that were selected. Irene's team understood our specific requirements and found the best candidates that fit our culture and communication style.
I've worked with Irene for many years. She not only understands the unique needs of startup founders, but knows the best and most efficient way to execute it, especially in building teams.
We're a young startup. For more than 2 years, it was just me and another software engineer. I liked that Irene's approach seemed more organic than other alternatives. I'm really happy with my decision.

What does the $150 per month cover?
It covers full HR support for each talent you hire: payroll management, contract management, up to two replacements a month, conflict resolution, ongoing training, and team building events.
Does the $150 include the talent's pay?
No. The $150 is our HR fee per talent. You pay the talent's rate separately, and we process those payments for you through payroll.
Is the $500 recruitment fee recurring?
No. It's a one-time fee per role, not a monthly charge. It covers the full recruitment process: job posting, sourcing, screening, interviews, reference checks, and background verification for your shortlisted candidates.
Who is this service for?
Early-stage startups that want to hire individual contract talent but don't have, or don't want, an in-house HR team.
What roles can you hire for?
We've built teams of content writers, SEO specialists, social media managers, video editors, and WordPress developers. If you have another role in mind, book a call and we'll tell you honestly if it's a fit.
Where is the talent based?
Most of our talent is in the Philippines, with team members in Spain and Ukraine too.
What if a hire isn't the right fit?
We'll replace them. Your plan includes up to two replacements each month.
Are the people I hire employees?
No. They're contract talent. We create and manage individual contracts that are compliant, safe, and fair for everyone, so you get the flexibility without the paperwork.
Your next hire, handled.
No commitment. Fill out the form and we'll start by getting to know your role requirements.
