Talent Quality & Fit
Are you a freelancer platform, staffing agency, or HR software?
Truss is something different. We help companies hire and retain long-term, high-performing tech talent in emerging markets where top candidates are often overlooked. We manage everything from contracts and compliance to payroll and onboarding, so you get dedicated team members who stay, grow, and integrate fully with your company; not just short-term or project-based help.
How do you vet candidates?
Every candidate is personally interviewed by a member of our team before being given access to our platform. We also evaluate their English communication skills and relevant technical expertise, ensuring you meet qualified, ready-to-contribute candidates. Of course, you’ll interview all candidates before making the hire.
Can we request specific skill sets or seniority levels?
Absolutely. We tailor candidate searches to your technical requirements and experience level needs.
How do you ensure strong English communication?
Candidates are tested on reading, writing, and conversational English. We prioritize clear communication to make remote collaboration seamless.
How do you maintain culture and connection for remote teams?
We understand how important team culture is, especially across borders. Our physical offices in regional hubs host at least two events per year that your team members are invited and encouraged to join. These events combine engaging activities with amazing food and provide memorable bonding experiences, in fact one of our candidates called it “the best vacation I ever had.”
Hiring in Emerging Markets
Why hire talent from emerging markets?
Hiring in emerging markets where global tech giants have not saturated the talent pool offers a unique advantage. You gain access to cost effective, highly motivated professionals eager to grow with your company and stay long term, providing the kind of stability and commitment that outsourcing provided in India 20 to 30 years ago without today’s intense competition.
Why hire through Truss?
We make hiring in emerging markets completely frictionless. From sourcing and vetting to payroll, device procurement, compliance, background checks, and support with cybersecurity protocols to protect your company’s data, we handle everything. Your only responsibility is sharing the details of your ideal candidate and we take care of the rest.
Compliance & Cybersecurity
Do you conduct background checks?
Yes. For every candidate, we verify employment history, education, and professional references, and we request a certificate of non-criminal record to ensure trust and integrity.
How do you protect sensitive data?
We work closely with your IT team to enforce your company’s security protocols, including remote access controls, device management tools like Jamf, and other internal policies. All talent is trained in data protection best practices, and we provide secure devices to ensure compliance and minimize risk.
Are hires compliant with local and international labor laws?
Yes. We handle all legal compliance, making it completely risk free for your company.
How do you protect our intellectual property?
Every employment contract between Truss and our employees includes an intellectual property (IP) clause to protect your company’s assets. This ensures that all work produced, including ideas, designs, and code, is owned by your organization and remains fully confidential while your team works with our talent.
University Partnerships
Do you collaborate with universities?
Yes. Partnerships with top local universities give us early access to emerging talent and help bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world experience.
Can recent graduates be part of the talent pool?
Definitely. We source both experienced professionals and highly capable recent graduates, ensuring a diverse mix of skills.
AI Enablement
How do you equip your talent with AI tools?
We give all candidates practical training in AI fundamentals. They learn how to use prompt engineering, the difference between AI, ML, and LLMs, how Agentic AI works, and the ethics of using AI responsibly.
How does Truss use AI in the hiring process?
Truss leverages AI at every stage of the hiring process to improve efficiency and speed without compromising quality. Our AI-powered screening tool helps us quickly identify top candidates, our recommendation engine matches talent to your specific needs, and our AI-driven language assessment ensures candidates meet required English communication standards. This combination allows us to deliver highly qualified candidates faster and more accurately.
Pricing & Engagement
What is Truss’s fee structure?
There are no upfront costs. You can review profiles for free and pay only once you interview a candidate you want to hire. We charge the salary at cost plus a transparent monthly Truss fee.
How quickly can you fill roles?
Typically within a few weeks, depending on the role’s requirements and seniority. Most of the time candidate profiles are sent for review in the first three days.
Operations & Management
Who handles payroll, benefits, and taxes?
Truss manages all administrative responsibilities so your team can focus on productivity.
What happens if a hire doesn’t work out?
We immediately present suitable replacement candidates for your consideration, minimizing disruption and ensuring continuity for your team. At the same time, our team steps in to advise on best practices for termination and handles all offboarding paperwork and final payouts.
Do you provide devices or equipment for remote talent?
Yes. We ensure all hires are equipped with secure, up-to-date devices.
Communication & Support
How do you handle time zone differences?
We strategize with each client ahead of time to determine the most suitable working hours for their team. During our vetting and screening process, we ensure that only candidates who agree to those hours are presented, ensuring smooth collaboration and minimal disruption.
Will we have a dedicated point of contact?
Yes. Every client receives a dedicated Truss manager to oversee onboarding, performance, and ongoing support.
