IT STAFFING SERVICES INDIA

Each hire is employed through our Employer of Record arrangement or the client’s own Indian entity, so contracts, payroll and compliance are in place from the first day. With 18+ years in India and 42,000+ professionals deployed, onboarding for Indian hires takes one to three weeks.
IT Staffing Models We Offer

IT Staffing vs Employer of Record vs Recruitment vs RPO
These services overlap, so each one has a clear job. IT staffing is the one that finds the engineer and employs them.
| Service | What it covers | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| IT staffing | Sourcing, screening and placement of technology talent, with employment handled | A company needs engineers and wants hiring and employment from one provider |
| Employer of Record | Legal employment, payroll and compliance for people the company has already found | The people are chosen and there is no Indian entity |
| Recruitment services | A search for one role that ends at the offer | One or a few roles across functions need filling |
| RPO services | The hiring process run on the company’s behalf | Hiring is continuous and high in volume |
| Remote staffing | Remote employees in India who work for a global team | The team is distributed and the role is remote |
