Managed hiring

Hire a vetted operator. We handle the paperwork.

Send an offer, choose how they're employed, and we run the vetting, contracts, compliance, and payroll. One placement fee — below what agencies charge.

The placement fee
0%

of total contract value, paid once on activation

or
25%

spread over 12 monthly payments

That's the whole finder's fee — below the 20–25% agencies charge. Pick by cash-flow; how they're employed is a separate choice, below.

How a hire works

Five steps from offer to hired.

01

Send an offer

Build it from a package or from scratch, and send it to your chosen operator.

02

Choose employment

Contractor, agency, or employer of record — the choice sets who's on the contract.

03

Clear compliance

Both sides verify identity (KYC/KYB) and sign a non-solicitation agreement.

04

Sign

The contract is signed digitally through DocuSeal.

05

They're hired

The placement fee settles, the 90-day guarantee opens, and your hire gets a Platform seat.

Then choose who employs them

Same fee. Three ways to run them.

From a simple contract to full in-country employment — the more structure you need, the more of the liability we carry.

Contractor of Record

You're the employer

$0ongoing / mo
  • Contract lives in Diiirect
  • Signed via DocuSeal
  • You pay the contractor directly

Best when you already work with contractors and just want the paperwork handled.

Most common

Agency of Record

We're the agency on paper

5%of monthly value / mo
  • Contract is in Diiirect's name
  • We invoice, you stay hands-off
  • One predictable monthly bill

Best when you want us between you and the contractor, without setting up an entity.

Employer of Record

A local entity employs them

Custom/ mo · zero markup
  • Legal employment in their country
  • Full payroll, taxes & benefits
  • Billed at cost — zero markup

Best when you're hiring full-time abroad and need a compliant local employer.

Every placement includes

FAQ

How the hire works.

What exactly is the placement fee?

A one-time finder's fee for sourcing and vetting the hire — 15% of the total contract value, charged once on activation. Prefer to spread it? Pay 25% split into 12 equal monthly payments. It applies to all three employment models.

What's the difference between the three employment models?

They differ in who legally employs the person. Contractor of Record: you're the employer, the contract just lives with us ($0/mo). Agency of Record: we're the agency on paper (5%/mo of monthly value). Employer of Record: a legal entity employs them in their country — billed at cost, with no markup from us.

Do you mark up the Employer of Record cost?

No. EoR is a pure passthrough — you pay the local employer's cost exactly. On an EoR hire we earn only the placement fee.

What does the 90-day replacement guarantee cover?

If the hire resigns or is terminated for cause within the first 90 days, we re-source a replacement. The guarantee window starts when the contract activates.

What's included for the talent?

A free Diiirect Platform license for the contract duration — Mailbox, Passwords, and Time Tracking. Optional add-ons like IT assets are quoted separately.
