What Our Customers Say

Founders, Leaders and HR heads of fast growing startups across US, Europe, SEA and Oceania trust our services to manage their India teams.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can we start hiring developers in India?
Less than 48 hours from kickoff. Contracts, compliance setup, and your first hiring scorecard are ready in 2 days, and your first interviews can begin the same week.
Do you ever talk to our clients?
No. White-label by default. Your clients see your brand, your delivery, and your team. Wisemonk stays invisible unless you explicitly choose to disclose us.
Where in India can you hire developers?
Across all of India. We support fully remote hiring nationwide, with strong talent hubs in Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, and Chennai.
What if we are switching from another India hiring vendor?
We migrate your existing India team in 14 days. Contracts, payroll, benefits, and compliance transfer cleanly with zero downtime for your developers.
What is your pricing model?
Flat per-seat monthly fee. No hidden margins, no markup on developer salaries, no surprise compliance charges. You see the full breakdown before you sign.
What is the minimum team size?
Start with 1 developer. Scale to 50 or more as your client base grows. No minimum commitment on team size.
Do you help us find the talent too?
Yes. Our recruitment division sources, screens, and shortlists vetted India developers for you. Useful if you want speed without building your own India hiring pipeline.
Who legally employs the developers, us or Wisemonk?
Wisemonk is the legal employer in India. We hold the employment contract, run payroll, and own the compliance burden. You get full operational control of your developers day to day.
What happens if we need to let a developer go?
We handle the entire offboarding under Indian labour law including notice periods, final settlement, and statutory exits. You make the decision, we manage the legal and operational closure.
Do you protect our intellectual property?
Yes. Every developer signs an enforceable IP assignment agreement and NDA at onboarding, drafted under Indian law so your client work and source code remain fully yours.
