  • Direct access, no relay

    You approve tasks and review work directly, on your own tools.

Hourly Hiring, answered

What does Hourly Hiring actually mean?

You are billed only for the hours actually logged against tasks you have approved, with no minimum weekly commitment. Work can be as small as a few hours a week or scale up as needed.

How is this different from Dedicated Part-Time Resource?

Dedicated Part-Time Resource reserves a fixed weekly block whether or not it is fully used. Hourly Hiring bills only for hours actually logged, which suits work that varies week to week rather than following a steady schedule.

How are hours tracked and approved?

Every task is logged against your approved scope, and you get a detailed timesheet with each invoice showing exactly what was worked on and for how long.

Is there a minimum number of hours?

No. Hourly hiring has no minimum weekly commitment, though very small or irregular workloads may see slower turnaround than a dedicated resource.

Can hourly hiring convert to a dedicated resource later?

Yes. If hours consistently trend toward a steady weekly block, we can move the same person to Dedicated Part-Time or Full-Time Resource.

What if the person is not the right fit?

We replace them at no extra recruiting cost, with a handover of logged work and open tasks to the replacement.
