Frequently asked questions

What level of expertise can I expect from a Backend Developer hired through Wisemonk in India?

Our backend talent pool in India consists of highly skilled and cost-effective developers, sourced from the nation's thriving tech ecosystem. We validate their expertise through a rigorous, multi-stage screening process that assesses their proficiency in building scalable architectures, API design, and database management. This ensures we deliver a developer, from mid to lead-level, who provides exceptional technical skills and is perfectly suited for your project's requirements.

Why is eor service needed on an ongoing basis?

An EOR, like Wisemonk, helps you manage payroll, compliance, benefits, and HR administration for your employees in the target country, ensuring ongoing legal and regulatory adherence without requiring your own local entity.

What does the recruitment service include?

Wisemonk offers a white-glove consulting service that thoroughly understands your requirements and context, ensuring we submit only the most relevant and genuinely interested candidates for interviews. Clients receive detailed information about candidates’ previous compensation and can directly negotiate salary and long-term career prospects with the selected individuals.

How long does it usually take to get started?

The typical process from candidate sourcing to joining takes about 6 to 8 weeks, depending on notice periods and selection timelines. Onboarding with Wisemonk is fast and efficient, usually completed in less than one week once the candidate is finalized and documentation is submitted

Do you provide any guarantees for getting business outcomes?

Wisemonk provides guarantees for service quality, compliance, and talent replacement where applicable. Your company retains control over performance and work results, while Wisemonk manages administrative and compliance tasks to support your team’s success.

How is this different from staffing?

With traditional staffing, talent is often loyal to the staffing company. This can affect the quality of candidates available and typically includes high, non-transparent company margins. Wisemonk connects you directly with the talent, allowing you to negotiate salary directly. After that, Wisemonk handles local payroll and labor law compliance at a nominal cost. If you are not satisfied with our payroll services, you are free to work with the same talent through another payroll or EOR provider.

How is this different from outsourcing to a service provider company?

Outsourcing to a service provider usually means the provider manages a team or function, often with less direct control for your company. EORs allow you to retain full day-to-day management of your team while handling only the legal and administrative aspects.

How is this model different from hiring a contractor directly?

Hiring a contractor directly does not provide full employment benefits or statutory protections. EORs ensure employees receive all legal entitlements, reducing misclassification risks and ensuring compliance

When I set up my entity in India, would I be able to pay the talent directly?

You can handle payroll and payments directly once you have your own registered entity in India; until then, the EOR manages these responsibilities for you.

In which country will the talent be located?

The talent will be located in India. Wisemonk will ensure all employment and compliance is managed locally.
