Offshore staffing for business teams, on your hours
A1Strategez is an offshore staffing company for office and business roles: back office, sales support, customer service, marketing and engineering. Your offshore staff are on our payroll, keep your working day and take their direction from you. You meet each person before anything is signed.
Meet the person first. Nothing is signed until you're happy.
What we carry, what you keep
The split is simple on purpose. Everything about employing the person sits with us. Everything about the work sits with you.
We carry
- Hiring and screening
- Payroll and benefits administration
- Equipment
- Finding a replacement if someone leaves or doesn't fit
You keep
- The direction
- The priorities
- The standard the work is judged by
- The final say on who joins
Where an offshore seat fits
The order inbox that fills up by ten.
Orders arrive by email all morning and someone has to key them in before they can ship. An offshore order-entry specialist works through them on your hours, in your system, so the warehouse isn't waiting on data entry.
Support that doesn't close at lunch.
Tickets and customer emails keep coming while your team is in meetings. A support specialist answers them in your voice, to your standards, through your working day.
The owner's second pair of hands.
Inbox, calendar, travel, and the follow-ups that slip when the owner is busy. A virtual assistant takes the admin, and the owner gets the hours back.
Research behind the sales team.
Your reps sell better with accounts researched and the CRM current. A sales-support specialist does the research and the upkeep so the reps can spend their day selling.
Examples, not a list to pick from. If the role can be done remotely, it's a conversation.
Offshore staffing against hiring locally
Hiring locally means you employ the person, fit out their desk and carry them through notice and severance if it ends. An offshore seat with us means the person does the same work on your hours while the employment sits with us. You set up access to your tools; we handle the rest.
| Hiring locally | Offshore seat with A1Strategez | |
|---|---|---|
| Who employs them | You | A1Strategez |
| What you set up | Desk, equipment, payroll | Access to your tools |
| Their hours | Your hours | Your hours |
| If they leave | You start hiring again | We line up a replacement you interview |
| If it ends | Notice and severance | Terms agreed per engagement |

We work your hours
Your offshore staff are online when your team is. They sit in the same meetings, and there's always someone to ask when something's unclear. The managers behind them and the interviewers who meet your candidates keep your time zone as well, so nothing about the arrangement asks you to work late.
Data and rules, in the contract
Whatever you're held to, whether it's a company policy, an industry rule or a local law, tell us and we work to it. It's written into the contract: an NDA, a data-processing agreement, standard contractual clauses for cross-border data where they apply, and access limited to what the role needs. If an offshore team can't meet a requirement, you hear it from us before anything is signed.
Questions buyers ask
Is offshore staffing the same as outsourcing?
No. Offshore staffing adds people who work under your direction. Outsourcing hands a whole process to a provider who runs it and owns the result. The detail: staff augmentation vs outsourcing.
How do offshore staff work our hours?
They keep your working day as their working day. Our team is based in Lahore and works to US, Gulf or European hours, depending on the client.
Is our data safe with an offshore team?
Access is limited to what the work needs, and the protections are in the contract: NDA, data-processing agreement, and standard contractual clauses where they apply.
Who employs the person?
We do. They're on our payroll, and we handle benefits, equipment and the rest of the employment side.
Can we meet them before starting?
Yes. You interview them before anything is signed.
What happens if someone leaves?
You're told straight away and we line up a replacement. You interview them before it's finalized, and the work doesn't stop in between.
