Full-time, dedicated teammates. Not a marketplace.
We are the overseas talent.
Competitors film their founders describing how good the talent is. You never actually see the talent. This is ours, in their own words, shot where they work.
We named our platform Alma.
alma
[al·ma] noun
a person we treat like a teammate. Stays.
What clients say when we are not on the call
Two ways to work together
Pick the model that fits how you want to bring on talent. Both run on the same Hands-Off Hiring System.
Talent salaries start at $1,600/month
One-time placement fee of 25% of first-year salary applies to both. Add‑ons are available on either model.
The questions
we actually get
If the honest answer is that we are not your fit, that is the answer you will get on the call.
Marketplaces sell you hours from someone juggling several clients. We place one dedicated, full-time person, employed on our own entity, recruited for your specific role. We are not a virtual assistant marketplace and we are not a staffing agency that disappears after the invoice clears.
Talent salaries start at $1,600 a month. Handoff's fees depend on the model you choose, Direct Hire or Managed Staffing, and both carry a one-time placement fee of 25% of first-year salary, typically $4,500 to $6,500. We quote the exact number on the first call once we know the role.
Then we are not your fit yet, and we will say so rather than sell you something that will not work. Handoff exists for companies committing to a real hire who can own an area of the business.
If none of the first four candidates fits, your next search is $1,000 off. Under Managed Staffing we own performance management, so a problem is ours to fix, not another hiring cycle for you to run.
Same time zone as your team, genuinely client-ready English, and a professional culture that fits how US companies actually work. Our people join your standups, talk to your customers, and stay.
That is the entire job. Placing someone is the easy half. We build the environment around them, which is why our people stay and why you stop paying to re-hire the same role.
Stop being the bottleneck.
Let Handoff take it from here.
