The challenge

Expanding into India without building an HR function

Senem RFP is an American company, and like many American companies, it wanted a team in India without building an India HR and payroll operation to support it.That is harder than it sounds. Someone has to onboard people, run payroll on time, enroll employees in benefits and answer their questions, and do all of it in a way that works for a US business, right down to how money crosses the border. Senem did not want a vendor it had to manage. It wanted something closer to an HR department that happened to be in India.

The solution

Onboarded in days. Payroll on time, every time.

Senem met Wisemonk's CEO and team, walked them through the situation, and got moving fast. "Wisemonk onboarded all of my employees in one or two days," says Frank Menes, Senem's Founder and CEO.

Payroll was just as quick. "They paid my employees' salaries on the day after my payment cleared," he adds, and every salary run since has been on time. Because Wisemonk keeps a US bank account, Senem could pay by ACH and hold bank charges down, a detail Menes was glad to find as the head of an American company. Wisemonk also worked directly with employees to enroll them in the health care program and explain their coverage, with one dedicated person assigned to the account.

The results

A year later, Wisemonk is still their HR team in India.

More than a year later, the verdict has not changed. Senem and its employees are still satisfied, salaries still land on time, and the team Senem onboarded in days is still backed by the same partner. Menes puts it plainly:

"I would highly recommend Wisemonk and think of them as our Indian HR department."
- Frank Menes, Founder & CEO, Senem RFP
We came across Wisemonk and met with the CEO and staff to explain our situation, and were very impressed with their customer-focused approach to their business. Wisemonk onboarded all of my employees in one or two days. They paid my employees' salaries on the day after my payment cleared. Needless to say, my employees and I were very satisfied with their service then and remain so over a year later. We are an American company, so I was very happy to see that they have a US bank account where I can make ACH payments to minimize bank charges. All salary payments are timely. They worked directly with my employees to enroll them in the health care program and explain any coverage-related issues. The best part is that we get to work with a dedicated person assigned to our company. I would highly recommend Wisemonk and think of them as our Indian HR department.
