What you get

One job, one team, and a contract where you live.

  • One full-time seat

    You join one US company, work its hours and report to someone on its team.

  • Paid in US dollars

    A monthly salary agreed before you sign. We take nothing from it.

  • A local contract

    Employed through Tribe in your own country, with taxes and contributions handled.

  • Daytime hours

    Every country we recruit from sits within three hours of US Eastern, so you work a normal day.

  • Your equipment

    We send the laptop and pay for the internet connection you work on.

  • A paid assessment

    We pay for your three-hour task whether or not you pass, and send you the scores.

What happens after you apply

  1. Within 3 working days

    We read it ourselves

    A person on our team reads it and answers either way, including a no.

  2. Week 1

    A paid task in your role

    About three hours of real work, scored against a written rubric by somebody who does that job. We pay for your time whatever the result.

  3. Week 1 or 2

    A call in English

    A conversation with some pushback in it. We tell you the level we scored, and we do not mark you down for your accent.

  4. After that

    On the bench

    Your profile, scorecard and work sample go to clients hiring for your role. You see every role before we send anything.

  5. When a client says yes

    You interview, then you decide

    You talk to the team directly. Pay, hours and start date are agreed before anything is signed, and you can say no.

Roles we hire for

Each role has its own paid task. Here is what we test, so you can prepare.

  • Executive assistant

    A live calendar exercise with three conflicting requests. Written English on a real email thread. Judgment call: what reaches the exec and what does not.

  • Customer support

    Twenty real tickets answered cold, graded on tone and accuracy. Spoken English on a recorded call, since some of this is live. Escalation judgment: what they fix and what they hand over.

  • Bookkeeper

    A messy trial balance to reconcile, with two planted errors. QuickBooks and Xero task walkthrough on a shared screen. Written English on a variance note to a non-finance reader.

  • Sales development

    A cold call recorded against a real objection set. Written outreach from a short prompt, graded on specificity over polish. CRM hygiene task: fix a pipeline somebody else neglected.

  • Operations

    A broken process to diagnose, with the fix written as an SOP. Spreadsheet and automation task on a real dataset. Written English on a change note to a team that will resist it.

  • Shopify developer

    A three hour theme task on a seeded store, reviewed as a pull request. Liquid and JavaScript reading test on somebody else's messy code. Written English on a scoping reply to a vague client request.

  • Software engineer

    A take-home in your stack, then a live walkthrough of their own code. A code review exercise, because reviewing is half the job. Spoken English in a design discussion with pushback.

Questions from applicants

Is there any cost to me?

No. Applying, the assessment, training, equipment and the placement are free, and we deduct nothing from your pay. Our clients pay us. If someone asks you for a fee in our name, tell us.

What does it pay?

We publish what clients pay for every role and level on the rates page, so you can see what the seat is worth to the client. Your own pay is agreed with you at offer, against the level your assessment put you at, and before you commit to anything. You get a figure for a real role before you commit.

Is my English good enough?

Apply and we will tell you. We test it on a call with real back and forth and report the level we scored, without marking your accent. Many placements work with good English, and perfect English is rare.

How much experience do I need?

One to three years is enough for a junior seat on most roles. What matters more is a work sample we can look at and a willingness to say when you do not know something. We have turned down people with ten years for guessing confidently in the assessment.

How long until I am placed?

The assessment and the call take a week or two. After that it depends on what clients are hiring for, and that varies. Some roles place within weeks; others sit on the bench longer. We tell you where your role stands each month.

I already have a job. Will you contact my employer?

Never, and we do not ask for references until you tell us to. Nothing you send us goes anywhere without you saying yes to that specific client first.

Five minutes to apply. We reply either way.

The role you want, where you live and your CV. That is the whole application.
