    01 — The problem with offshore

    How does managed offshore staffing work?

    Most offshore is arbitrage. Ours is operations.

    Marketplaces sell you hours. Agencies sell you whoever is on the bench. Both leave you managing strangers across a time zone, then wondering why velocity never arrives.

    We took the opposite position. Everyone we place is employed by Sprint Labs, works from a managed office, and is held to one standard — ours. You get the person. We carry the payroll, the HR, the hardware, the retention.
