Frequently asked questions

How will I be paid if I get selected?
Companies hire in two common ways. The exact structure depends on the company, but both are widely used and reliable.
What does direct payment mean?
In some roles, you may work directly with the company as an independent contractor or employee. Payments are made internationally as per the agreement with the company.
What does employment via an Employer of Record mean?
If a company hires through an Employer of Record, you are employed locally in India while working full-time with the global company. Payroll, compliance, and statutory requirements are handled locally, while your work and team remain with the company.
How will this appear on my resume?
Your experience is described as working for the company whose team you are part of, since that is where your work, projects, and reporting structure sit. The employment structure does not change the nature of your role or responsibilities.
How does EOR compare with contract staffing?
With EOR, salary is directly negotiated between you and the hiring company. The role is structured as a full-time position in most cases. Your work, compensation discussions, and performance management remain directly with the company you are working for.
Is one model better than the other?
Both models are common in global remote hiring. The right structure depends on the company’s setup and hiring preferences. The role, team, and growth opportunities remain the same.
Will I know the payment structure before accepting an offer?
Yes. The compensation, payment structure, and employment model are always clarified before you accept an offer.
Do I need prior remote work experience?
Not always. Many companies value strong communication, ownership, and the ability to work independently. Prior remote experience can help, but it is not mandatory for all roles.
