FAQ

What does the replacement process look like?



If replacement is necessary, we have a pool of qualified talents. Training is streamlined due to process documentation created by your previous Nepal-based team members.

Will our remote team members speak English?



Yes, English is widely spoken among professionals in Nepal, and we only hire fluent employees to ensure effective communication.

How do we manage the time difference?



Nepal's regular workweek and work hours align with those of the United States, but there is a 10–12-hour (depending on the US time zone and daylight savings) time difference, with Nepal ahead. Consequently, when the US team commences their workday, the Nepal team has already concluded theirs, leading to a productivity boost.

The US team member overseeing the role can schedule virtual calls for training and collaboration anytime from 6AM to 8:30AM local US time to connect with their Nepal hire towards the end of their working day. These meetings are frequent for the first few weeks, gradually reducing to either once or twice a week once onboarding/training is complete.

Do we get to check a candidate's qualifications, competency, and experience before we commit?



Yes, we provide clients with resumes of candidates matching specified criteria. Importantly, you can terminate the relationship with your assigned Nepal-based talent with a 30-day notice.

How do you identify a candidate and check their competency?



Our rigorous HR and hiring process scouts talent from top universities, meticulously screens resumes, conducts background/reference checks and administers aptitude tests. This results in a carefully curated candidate pool before sharing resumes with you.

We have never worked with a remote global talent. Can we do it?



We provide comprehensive onboarding training, sharing best practices and onboarding checklist. Adapting to this arrangement is similar to working with a remote team during regular work hours, with the only difference being the time zone, making it advantageous.

What is the tax implication of this?



None.

What is your retention rate at 365 Core Talent?



Our retention rate is over 95%, making us a top local employer. We offer competitive pay, career advancement, and comprehensive benefits, including health insurance, gym membership, phone and transportation allowances, daily lunch, recreational activities, sponsorship of master’s degree, flexible work arrangements, and more.

How does a staff work from a remote location? Do they work from an office or their home?



Our remote team is based in Kathmandu, Nepal. The first six months are strictly no work-from-home. After that, we may provide a work desk twice weekly for 3-4 hours with a US time zone overlap, if needed.

How will this save us 75% on labor costs?



The substantial cost-saving of 75% is realized through the strategic application of labor arbitrage. Labor arbitrage involves capitalizing on pricing disparities for identical skilled labor forces across distinct markets. In this case, our Nepal-based talent presents a cost advantage, being one-fourth of the expense compared to local staff.

What will this cost me?



Our Nepal-based talent will cost you one-fourth of the expense compared to local staff. You grow your team with skilled professionals without the added financial burdens of overhead, insurance, 401k contributions, office space, or administrative burdens.

Are you an outsourcing company?



No, we're not an outsourcing company. We're a US-based staffing agency. We focus on connecting highly skilled remote professionals with small to mid-size businesses. Our Nepal-based professionals become integral team members and work exclusively on your projects. We're not like traditional virtual assistant services.
