What you get

What your monthly fee covers.

One fee, per team member, per month. Here is everything inside it.

Monthly payments handled

We pay your team member in their own country and their own currency. You pay one invoice, in yours.

Contracts and compliance before day one

Service or employment agreements, NDAs and intellectual property terms, all in place before any work starts.

Time off tracked for you

Leave requests, balances and the public holidays in their country, visible to you in your portal whenever you want them.

Regular check-ins with your team member

We stay in touch with them, not only with you. It is the main reason the people who work with us stay as long as they do.

One named account manager

The same person every time, who knows your business and your team by name. Not a ticket queue and not a different contact each month.

What moves it

Three things change the price.

Nothing is hidden behind them, and we talk you through each one on the quote.

The country they work from

South Africa, the Philippines and Myanmar have different living costs and different statutory requirements, so the same role is priced differently in each. We will tell you honestly which country suits the role best, even when it is the cheaper one.

How senior they are

Someone with two years behind them costs less than someone with eight. More experience usually means less checking from you and fewer mistakes. You decide which level you want, and we are happy to quote both so you can compare.

Contractor or employer of record

A contractor arrangement is lighter and faster to start. Employer of record means we take on the statutory employment costs and the compliance in their country, which costs more but protects you more.

No surprises

Every line that can ever appear on your invoice.

This is the whole list. There is nothing underneath it.

On employer of record arrangements the statutory costs are set by their government, not by us, and we pass them on exactly as charged. We will show you the calculation.

Optional

Things you only pay for if you ask, and what you never pay.

What you never pay

These are not discounts. They are simply not how we charge.

No minimum team size: many clients start with one person
No multi-year contract
No charge if we need to assign a different team member in the first three months
No charge for the quote or the introductions
Questions

Questions about price.

Three things: a one-time setup fee of 400 to 1,000 US dollars, a monthly Linkers fee from 75 to 150 US dollars on a contractor arrangement, and your team member's salary. On an employer of record arrangement the monthly fee is quoted for your role and country. Use the estimator on this page for your own figure, then ask us for the exact quote.
Because roles differ. A common role we set up often sits at the lower end; something specialised, or needing unusual tools or hours, takes more work and sits higher. We confirm the figure in writing before you commit to anything.
On a contractor arrangement your team member works under a service agreement with Linkers, which is quicker to start and cheaper to run. On employer of record we become their legal employer in their country, which adds the statutory contributions set by that government but gives you fuller protection. The estimator on this page shows both.
No to both. Many of our clients started with one person, and there is no multi-year lock-in.
Myanmar is usually the most affordable, the Philippines sits in the middle, and South Africa costs the most because of native English and European hours. Cheapest is not always right for the role, and we will tell you when it is not.
No. On an employer of record arrangement we are the legal employer there, which is the whole point of it. You direct the work and we hold the employment.
When you have chosen someone and the work starts. The quote and the introductions cost nothing.
No. The table on this page is the whole list. Optional extras such as health cover or office space are quoted before we add them, never assumed.
We assign a different team member free of charge within the first three months and help with the handover.
We invoice in US dollars, always. Your team member contracts with Linkers, not with you, so there is only ever one invoice: ours, to you, in USD. We pay them in their own currency in their own country, and handle the exchange and the local requirements ourselves.

Tell us the role and the hours you need covered. We will come back with a straight answer, usually the same working day.
