What Our Customers Say

Founders, Leaders and HR heads of fast growing startups across US, Europe, SEA and Oceania love our services
The Wisemonk team played a key role in helping us hire for specialized B2B SaaS marketing skills. We were able to build the team within four months, and hire experienced professionals from Tier 1/major B2B SaaS brands. This includes SEO, digital marketing, business development, product marketing, content marketing, and GTM roles. They are a great partner providing integrated services for EOR and recruitment/hiring and I’d recommend them to any B2B SaaS vendor.
Saurabh Sharma
Chief Marketing Officer at Onereach
Working with the Wisemonk team in India has been a genuinely positive experience from day one. They've been consistently accessible and are building fantastic relationships with our local team. As someone based in the UK, I value the quality of compliance Wisemonk brings — I have full confidence when it comes to financial, legal, and HR matters. They've ensured our team is managed in line with local employment law and have also been flexible when we've wanted to go beyond statutory requirements. Whether it's increasing annual leave or tailoring health insurance, they've offered clear guidance to help us enhance the benefits we provide. It's been a great partnership.
Lisa Jones

I'm very Happy that I discovered Wisemonk. They have been a pure pleasure to work with, and their attention to detail is impressive. They helped us understand their pricing model, find top-qualified individuals, interview them, and then onboard them. I gave them criteria for the type of people we sought, and they delivered. The individuals they were able to find have been some of the best engineers I have ever worked with. I recommend Wisemonk to anyone who is in need of staffing assistance.
Dan Sampson
Head of Engineering at Cobu
I highly recommend them. Wisemonk helped us tap into the vibrant and top-notch Indian talent market and hire our first couple of founding engineers in record time. We've been able to accelerate our roadmap and deliver terrific value to our customers thanks to Wisemonk's efforts. They are easy to work with and very transparent about the process. I highly recommend them to any company looking for talent located in India.
