Start Ups Must Know: Hire a full-timer for S$3000 or Remote full-timer for S$700. What’s the catch?

For the majority of entrepreneurs, the biggest recurring expense is Talent and also quite a headache when there’s hiring bottlenecks and some good candidates are not in alignment with hiring budget. 

This is a major red flag that stops you from scaling your business. Hiring talents on-site costs you at least S$3000/ or more, when your business is just getting started is also another risk factor most Start-up founders overlook. 

And we all know Remote-hiring is an option to reduce cost but the need of HR to handle performance remotely after on-site management is a hassle sometimes. Managing remote-employee performance yourself is also quite hectic. And Remote-hiring locally still costs you mid-senior level for S$2000 and HR outsourcing expenses to secure talents.

So, How do you reduce cost and solve chaotic management at the same time? 

What if you could hire a mid-senior starting from S$700? *no language barriers, quality portfolio and solid experiences
