Help and FAQ

Choose from specialists we have already vetted, or have us search for the role. Someone from the bench can usually start within two weeks of your first call. For a new search, you get two or three profiles within five business days, and most clients interview the following week.

Yes. You see two or three profiles with their work samples, you interview the ones you want, and you decide. Nothing starts until you pick someone.

Tribe does. They are contracted through us in their own country, and you sign one agreement with Tribe. You get a worker on your team without opening an entity or running foreign payroll.

You can ask any shortlisted candidate for a paid trial task before you commit, and we will arrange it. We do not run free trials, because the person doing the work should be paid for it.

You do. They report to someone on your team, join your standups and work your tickets. We handle contract, payroll, equipment and cover, and we check in with both sides monthly.

The hours you set, full time. Both regions we recruit from sit within three hours of US Eastern, so a specialist can work a normal day that overlaps yours from start to finish.

Tell us inside the first month and we shortlist again. The replacement costs nothing and we stop billing the placement that did not work from the day you tell us. We would rather swap once than lose the account.

Yes, and we will help with the paperwork. After twelve months there is no conversion fee. Before that we charge one month of the rate and hand over the contract.

Yes. The rate is set per role and level and it does not move with where the specialist lives. Country changes the time zone overlap and the local talent pool. Your invoice stays the same. So we gain nothing by steering you to a cheaper country.

Software licenses in your own tools, and anything you choose to pay as a bonus. Their laptop, their contract, their payroll, their local taxes and their paid leave are all in the rate. There is no setup fee and no placement fee.

Not today. Every placement is full time, because part time is where this model stops working for the specialist and the quality follows. If you need less than a full week, say so on the call and we will tell you whether to wait.

Our rates are what we charge, and they do not change by country. Every US salary, employer cost and recruiting fee we compare against is an estimate, and our data sources page lists what each one is built from. We set all of them in October 2026.
