Direct Hiring

Our Services

Built for Global Growth

Our scalable solutions provide the flexibility and operational support clients need to meet their specific requirements. From direct hire talent acquisition to EOR, compliance, and workforce infrastructure, we deliver the exact level of support required at every stage of growth.

Direct Hiring

Direct Hire is a traditional recruitment engagement in which the client engages the hire directly. TalentGems designs a fully customized recruitment plan and manages the end-to-end recruitment process, providing guidance throughout, including market and compensation insights and offer structuring support.

In this model, the candidate works directly for you, and there is no ongoing monthly fee.

Independent Contractor of Record

This is a post-placement structure for contractor engagements. The recruitment process remains fully customized and unchanged, and once selected, TalentGems becomes the Independent Contractor of Record.

TalentGems signs the contractor, runs payroll, manages contractor compliance, and assumes misclassification risk, while the contractor works day to day for the client.

Post-Placement Enablement

A fully supported, long-term employment solution for large or fast-growing global teams. TalentGems manages payroll, compliance, contracts, and HR administration across jurisdictions, with additional customizable office and infrastructure support available.

We handle the complexity and backend so your global team members are seamlessly integrated into your organization.
