How it works

Simple. Transparent.
No surprises.

Every step is designed to be clear and low-risk. Here is exactly what happens — and who is responsible for what.

The process

Step by step

1

First conversation — no obligation

You reach out and we schedule a 20-minute call. We listen to your situation: your team structure, the tasks that need covering, the languages required, the tools you use. No pitch, no pressure.

2

We map the role together

Based on your input, we define the profile: responsibilities, working hours, language requirements, reporting line, and any specific skills you are looking for. This is the brief we search against.

3

We search and propose candidates

We search specifically for your profile from our talent network. We present candidates with a short profile. You meet them in a brief intro call and decide. Nothing moves forward without your approval.

4

Simple agreement and start date

A clear contract. One flat monthly fee. We handle employment, payroll, and compliance on our side. You receive a single invoice each month.

5

You onboard them into your team

Your new colleague joins your systems, your meetings, your daily workflows. You train them on your specific processes — just as you would with any new hire. Your Swiss Oakridge contact is available throughout.

6

Ongoing — one number to call

Need to adjust scope? Add a second profile? Something not working? One call to your local contact in Switzerland and it is handled. No ticketing systems, no waiting.

Roles & responsibilities

What's ours. What's yours.
