Work directly with your team
You manage day-to-day deliverables. We handle the operational logistics.
Time-zone overlap
Your team, on your clock
Pick your location to see how an India-based team member's shift lines up with your working day. Shift timing is agreed per role, from a few shared hours to your full business day.
4 hours of live overlap every working day. Your India team works 14:30–23:30 IST, which is 04:00–13:00 ET for you.
Standard time shown. US, UK and European clocks move forward an hour in summer and India's don't, so shift times are adjusted twice a year.
Security & compliance
Protected the way your own employees are
Offshore shouldn't mean less control. These safeguards are standard on every engagement.
Background verification
Identity, education and employment checks before anyone joins your team.
NDAs and IP assignment
Confidentiality and IP assignment agreements with every team member, so the work belongs to you.
Secure devices and access
Managed laptops set up to your requirements, including your VPN, SSO and access policies.
Data protection
Working practices designed around GDPR expectations and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Statutory compliance
Contracts, payroll, PF, ESI, gratuity and TDS handled under Indian employment law.
Continuity
Leave cover and backfill planning, so your work doesn't stall when someone is away.

Choose how you engage

Do we need a legal entity in India?
No. Recruit Hunt is the employer in India. We issue the employment contract, run payroll and handle statutory compliance, and you receive one monthly invoice.
Who owns the work our team produces?
You do. Every team member signs confidentiality and IP assignment agreements, and our contract with you assigns the work product to your company.
Do we choose the people?
Yes. We shortlist, you interview and make the final decision. Nobody joins your team without your approval.
How quickly can someone start?
Shortlists usually arrive within 48 to 72 hours of a confirmed brief. The start date then depends on the candidate's notice period, which in India is commonly 30 to 90 days. If timing is tight, we'll prioritise candidates who can join sooner.
What does the monthly fee include?
Salary, statutory contributions, benefits, equipment, HR support and our fee, in a single invoice. We'll set out the full breakdown in your proposal.
What if someone isn't working out?
Tell us early. We'll talk it through with you and the team member, and if it still isn't right we'll discuss a replacement search.
