What Our Customers Say

Founders, Leaders and HR heads of fast growing startups across US, Europe, SEA and Oceania trust our services to manage their India teams.

The Wisemonk team played a key role in helping us hire for specialized B2B SaaS marketing skills. We were able to build the team within four months, and hire experienced professionals from Tier 1/major B2B SaaS brands. This includes SEO, digital marketing, business development, product marketing, content marketing, and GTM roles. They are a great partner providing integrated services for EOR and recruitment/hiring and I’d recommend them to any B2B SaaS vendor.

I'm very Happy that I discovered Wisemonk. They have been a pure pleasure to work with, and their attention to detail is impressive. They helped us understand their pricing model, find top-qualified individuals, interview them, and then onboard them. I gave them criteria for the type of people we sought, and they delivered. The individuals they were able to find have been some of the best engineers I have ever worked with. I recommend Wisemonk to anyone who is in need of staffing assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I start hiring?
Most clients are fully set up within 1-2 weeks. This includes contracts, payroll configuration, compliance registration, and first salary processing.
How does Wisemonk protect IP and data?
We use enforceable IP assignment clauses in all employment contracts. Our platform is SOC 2 compliant and ISO 27001 certified, ensuring enterprise-grade security for your data.
Is there a setup fee?
No. There are no setup fees. Our EOR plans start at $99/month per employee with transparent, predictable pricing.
Does Wisemonk handle recruiting, EOR, and payroll?
Yes, everything under one roof. From talent sourcing and recruitment to employment, payroll processing, benefits administration, and compliance — we handle it all.
What makes Wisemonk different from other EOR providers?
We are India-deep specialists, not a global platform that happens to cover India. With 300+ companies served, dedicated on-ground HR for every employee, and purpose-built technology, we deliver a level of service that generalist providers cannot match.
Can Wisemonk help transition to our own entity or GCC?
Yes. We support zero-disruption transitions from EOR to your own Indian entity or GCC. We handle employee transfers, compliance handover, and knowledge transition seamlessly.
What if I need to scale from 2 to 50 employees?
Our platform and processes are built for any team size. Whether you are hiring your first employee or scaling to fifty, the experience remains consistent and fully supported.
Do I get dedicated support?
Yes. Every client gets a dedicated on-ground HR manager — not a chatbot or a shared support queue. Your employees get direct access to someone who understands their context.
