The employer case
Lower cost matters. Lower operational drag matters too.
A lower salary alone is not a business case. The value comes from combining experienced people with recruiting, quality control and continuity in one managed service.
Give managers their time back
We build the shortlist, coordinate interviews, handle attendance, coaching, performance issues and replacement. Your team manages product priorities.
Make quality measurable
You approve every specialist. Work is reviewed against your SOPs, KPIs and communication standards, with issues surfaced early.
What changes for youOne role brief replaces repeated sourcing. One managed engagement replaces fragmented recruiting and people administration. Capacity expands only after the first workflow proves itself.

Practical details
What clients usually ask.
Who selects the specialist?
You do. Phronesis screens candidates against the agreed role and presents matching profiles. Your team interviews and approves the final person.
Can the specialist work in our existing tools?
Yes. Onboarding is built around your current systems, procedures, access rules and escalation paths.
Can we begin with one person?
Yes. A single-role start is a practical way to validate the workflow before expanding the team.
Who manages the specialist day to day?
Your team sets product priorities and daily work. Phronesis manages staffing, attendance, performance review and continuity.
How is performance managed?
We agree on role-specific expectations, then monitor attendance, work quality and operating issues through a regular review rhythm.
Why is the total cost lower than local hiring?
Phronesis sources from a broader international talent pool and combines recruiting, screening, people management and continuity in one service. You receive one proposal instead of separately carrying local salary, hiring effort and replacement risk.
What does the engagement cost?
We scope the role first, then return a monthly proposal designed below the total cost of a comparable local hire. The proposal includes recruiting, screening, people management, quality review and replacement continuity.
