Our Process
How Do We Hire and Set Up Your Offshore Data Entry Specialist?
We find the right person for your role, vet them properly, and have them working in your business in about four weeks.
- 1. Briefing
A short call to understand the role, the tasks, the tools you use and the kind of person who'll fit your team. We get the brief right before we start looking. - 2. Sourcing
We go out and recruit specifically for your role — fresh candidates matched to your brief from our talent pool in India, not assigned from a generic bench. - 3. Screening
We run the first two interview rounds and skills tests ourselves, assessing ability, experience and business English, so only genuinely capable candidates reach you. - 4. Final interview
You take the final interview and make the decision on who joins your team. If you'd rather we place the strongest screened candidate, we can do that too. - 5. Onboarding
We set your hire up properly — your systems and logins, SOPs, NDA, time tracking and UK working hours — so they're ready to work from day one. - 6. Ongoing support
Your dedicated account manager stays involved with regular check-ins and reporting, handles additional hires as you scale, and puts things right if you're ever unhappy.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Cost vs a UK hire?
From £950/month (~£11,400/yr) vs ~£28k–£38k UK — up to 67% less.
What does a data entry specialist do?
Accurate high-volume data entry, cleaning, deduplication, CRM/database maintenance, document processing and validation.
How is this different from a data-entry bureau?
A bureau processes records in a shared queue, often per-record on their platform. A dedicated specialist works only for you, in your systems, learns your data standards, on a fixed fee.
How do you ensure accuracy?
We screen for accuracy and speed, and mid/senior specialists build validation and QA into the process. You set the standards; they maintain them.
Which tools?
Excel, Google Sheets, your CRM/database — in your setup.
UK hours?
Yes — full-time UK hours. Standard hours are 9–6 with a one-hour lunch; and if your business doesn't run on typical hours, your hire can work whatever full-time hours you need.
Is my data safe?
Yes — NDAs, GDPR, and our ISO 27001-certified offshore facility, with permissions you control. Important for data work specifically.
How fast to start?
3–4 weeks typically.
Can they handle a one-off migration or just ongoing work?
Both — many start with a backlog/migration then move to ongoing maintenance.
Not the right fit?
90-day guarantee — if you're unhappy in the first 90 days, we replace within two weeks at no extra cost.
