Five-person engineering team in six weeks.
Challenge
Northwind needed to scale its engineering team quickly after a Series B round, but US hiring was slow and expensive. They wanted senior talent with US-hours overlap and no local entity setup.
Solution
EMPLOI sourced and onboarded five senior engineers in Cape Town under our South African entity, with compliant contracts, benefits, and payroll running from day one.
From brief to fully onboarded team
Lower fully-loaded payroll cost vs US
Senior engineers hired
"EMPLOI let us stand up a five-person engineering team in Cape Town in six weeks. The overlap with our New York mornings is honestly better than half our US remote hires."
