Our Process
How Do We Hire and Set Up Your Offshore Graphic Designer?
We find the right person for your role, vet them properly, and have them working in your business in about four weeks.
- 1. Briefing
A short call to understand the role, the tasks, the tools you use and the kind of person who'll fit your team. We get the brief right before we start looking. - 2. Sourcing
We go out and recruit specifically for your role — fresh candidates matched to your brief from our talent pool in India, not assigned from a generic bench. - 3. Screening
We run the first two interview rounds and skills tests ourselves, assessing ability, experience and business English, so only genuinely capable candidates reach you. - 4. Final interview
You take the final interview and make the decision on who joins your team. If you'd rather we place the strongest screened candidate, we can do that too. - 5. Onboarding
We set your hire up properly — your systems and logins, SOPs, NDA, time tracking and UK working hours — so they're ready to work from day one. - 6. Ongoing support
Your dedicated account manager stays involved with regular check-ins and reporting, handles additional hires as you scale, and puts things right if you're ever unhappy.
