Five steps, no recruitment fee
Tell us who they are
Name, role, country and what you pay them today. Two minutes in the portal.
We quote a flat monthly seat cost
One number per person, in your billing currency, with the FX rate fixed at quote time.
Sign once, in-platform
Your master agreement plus a service order for this person, signed in the portal with a full audit trail.
We hire them locally
Compliant local contract, statutory benefits, in-country payroll and leave — run by us.
Same person, properly employed
They keep doing the same work. You get one monthly invoice and a real employment record.
Leaving them as contractors is the expensive option
Misclassification risk disappears
A long-term 'contractor' who works full-time for one company looks like an employee to a local labour authority. Back taxes, penalties and benefit claims land on you, not the platform.
People stay longer
Paid leave, health cover, statutory contributions and a real contract beat invoice-to-invoice work. Retention is the quiet reason transfers pay for themselves.
IP assignment that holds up
Ownership of code, designs and client data sits in a proper employment contract governed by local law — not a marketplace terms page.
No local entity needed
We already employ people in Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, India. You skip the company registration, local payroll provider and accountant.
What happens to their current contract?
You end the freelance or platform arrangement on a date you choose, and we start the local employment contract the next working day. We coordinate the dates so there is no gap in pay for them.
How long does a transfer take?
We reply within one business day with pricing. Once the service order is signed, local contracting and onboarding usually takes one to two weeks, depending on the country and notice they owe.
What does it cost compared with a normal placement?
Less. There is no sourcing, vetting or shortlisting work, so a transfer is priced as a managed employment seat only: their pay plus statutory costs plus our monthly management fee, quoted as one number.
What does the 60-day notice mean?
Once someone is employed, engagements run on 60 days' notice. That is the window we need to wind an employment down lawfully in-country, and it is the same for transferred people as for anyone we place.
Does the person's pay change?
Their take-home is agreed with you before any offer goes out, and we aim to keep it the same or better. What changes is that statutory contributions, leave and benefits now sit on top, paid by the employer.
Do they use the same portal as the rest of my team?
Yes. After activation they appear on your Team page as a Sprint Labs employee, with payslips, leave and performance handled exactly like any other placement.
