The Talent You Need. Without the Hiring Pain.

Upwork is a marketplace — you screen, contract, manage, replace, and chase compliance yourself. Toptal sources elite talent on hourly rates with weekly invoices and high markups. AB7 is a dedicated-FTE staffing partner: one fixed monthly fee, full-time professional exclusively yours, AB7 owns recruitment + HR + payroll + compliance + replacement. Lower TCO than Toptal, lower management burden than Upwork.

Inside the first 30 days, we replace at no cost — pre-vetted alternative, no recruitment fee, no awkward conversations. Beyond 30 days, replacement remains included under the engagement at no extra fee and we typically place an alternative within 14-21 days. Optional 2-week paid trial is available upfront if you want even more confidence before committing.

NDA + IP-assignment signed before any candidate sees your stack. ISO 27001 + SOC 2 controls; encrypted credentials; role-based access; audit logging. Country-specific data privacy: GDPR (EU/UK), DPDP (India), HIPAA (US healthcare via Indivirtus AB7), PIPEDA (Canada), Privacy Act (AU/NZ), CCPA. DPAs on file before placement.

Yes — we match by country. Full business-hour overlap (4-8 hours typical) with your country. They show up in your standups, on your tools, on your sprint ceremonies. We've successfully overlapped with US ET/CT/MT/PT, UK GMT/BST, AU AEDT, NZ NZDT, UAE GST, EU CET, Canada ET — for years.

Zero. AB7 owns payroll + tax + benefits in India. The professional is an AB7 employee on AB7's payroll; you pay AB7 a single monthly service fee. No 1099 misclassification (US), no IR35 (UK), no PE exposure in your country, no payroll-runs to manage. Service contract reviewed by counsel in each market.

Both. Single FTEs (dedicated, exclusively yours, you manage) or full managed pods (3-12 people, AB7-led, weekly outcome reports, SLA-bound). Project-based engagements with fixed scope + fixed timeline also available. You'll choose the model that matches your operating preference.

Clean exit with full transition documentation. No lock-in clauses, no forced renewals. Your tools, your data, your IP — already yours. We've never had a client end and come back saying something was missing. Most engagements scale up over time — but if it's the wrong time, it's the wrong time, and we want you back when it's right.
