Staffing & Recruitment
Contract, contract-to-hire and permanent hiring for technical and operational roles, with shortlists screened by engineers who do the work. Part of our workforce solutions vertical, next to third-party payroll.
What staffing and recruitment models does ZigmaNeural offer?
Four models: contract staffing for a named specialist on a fixed term, contract-to-hire where the person converts to your payroll after an agreed period, permanent recruitment priced as a percentage of annual salary, and managed delivery pods with our own team lead. Coverage is engineering, data, cloud, QA, AI support, IT service desk and operations roles across India, the US, UK, EU, GCC and Singapore.

How the partner EOR model works
1. Confirm the country
You tell us the countries and headcount. We confirm coverage and name the partner entity that will employ each person, in writing, before onboarding.
2. One contract with us
ZigmaNeural remains your single point of contract, coordination and invoicing. You do not sign or manage separate agreements per country.
3. Local compliance, local law
The in-country entity holds the employment relationship and files statutory contributions, taxes and mandated benefits under local labour law.
4. Consolidated reporting
Payroll registers, cost breakdowns and compliance evidence arrive on one monthly cycle across every country in scope.

Staffing and recruitment questions
Models, screening, pricing basis and coverage — answered plainly.
Which roles does ZigmaNeural recruit for?
Software and data engineering, cloud and DevOps, QA and test automation, AI and ML support roles, IT service desk, plus back-office and operations staff. We deliberately stay inside areas our own engineers can screen for technically. Outside those areas we would be guessing, so we decline the mandate rather than take it.
What is the difference between contract staffing and manpower supply?
Contract staffing is role-based: a named specialist, selected through a normal interview process, embedded in your team for a fixed term. Manpower supply is volume-based deployment of operational or support staff, supervised by us, with attendance and replacement cover built into the arrangement.
How does technical screening work?
Shortlists for engineering, data and cloud roles are reviewed by people who do that work at ZigmaNeural, not only by recruiters. That means fewer candidates reach your interview panel, but the ones that do have had their claimed experience checked against the job you described.
How is recruitment priced?
Permanent hiring is a percentage of the candidate's annual salary, payable on joining. Contract and contract-to-hire are a monthly rate for the term, or a markup on cost-to-company where we act as employer. The exact percentage or markup depends on role seniority, volume and how scarce the skill is — we put it in writing before starting a search.
How long does a search take?
It depends on the role and the market, and any firm number quoted without seeing your requirement is guesswork. Common support and operations roles usually move fastest; senior or scarce engineering skills take longer. We give an indicative range for your specific role after reviewing the brief and salary band.
Do you offer a replacement guarantee?
Replacement terms are agreed per contract rather than advertised as a blanket promise, because what is reasonable differs between a volume manpower engagement and a senior permanent hire. Ask for it during commercial discussion and it will be written into the agreement.
Can you staff a team that works on our AI or engineering project?
Yes, and it is the pattern we see most. A ZigmaNeural engineering team designs and builds the system, then staffing supplies the operational or support headcount that runs it afterwards, under one commercial relationship instead of two vendors.
Which regions do you support?
Recruitment, HR consulting and managed remote pods are delivered for clients in India, the US, UK, EU, GCC and Singapore. Employer-of-record payroll is delivered directly in India and through vetted partner entities in 100+ other countries — including the US, UK, Germany, Netherlands, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia — on one contract with us. We do not provide visa sponsorship.
