hireworks

Hireworks, which styles itself hireworks, is an end to end outsourcing solution that describes its purpose as taking the hassle out of hiring. The company offers streamlined, high impact embedded international talent at what it says is a significant cost saving, and its summary of its own value is that the proof is in its people. It acts as an extension of the client's team, taking time to understand the business, its values and its goals, and the people it places are fully integrated long term team members who embed into the client's culture. It also provides employer of record services, handling the complexities of international hiring, and points to deep roots in the tech industry and talent acquisition as the basis for its market knowledge.

The model covers the whole hiring chain. Hireworks owns candidate sourcing against the client's qualifications, facilitates the interview process, onboards the employees and then handles payroll and benefits, after which the selected employees are assigned to the client full time as embedded talent. Its process runs in four stages: discovery and consultation to understand the client's needs and business goals, sourcing and screening to identify candidates who match the criteria, seamless integration of that talent into the team, and ongoing support as the team grows and evolves. Clients complete a scoping questionnaire, then receive a curated selection of pre-screened candidates with resumes and associated cost. The roles concerned span backend engineering, infrastructure, data science, software engineering, UX and UI design, product development, mobile and creative work.

Hireworks recruits from strategically selected markets, with both nearshore and offshore options, and helps clients identify the right market for their needs. It names Bulgaria, where Sofia hosts over 900 tech companies and where over 75 per cent of the population speaks English, Colombia, whose UTC-5 timezone and proximity suit United States clients, Argentina, where Buenos Aires holds one of Latin America's most mature startup ecosystems, and Brazil, centred on São Paulo.
