Direct Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How do we pay Indian remote talent from the US?
You can engage hires either as independent cross-border contractors with US/India compliant IP contracts, or through an Employer of Record (EOR), or via your own Indian subsidiary if you set up a GCC. Helix advises on the optimal path for your stage.
How does the $250 engagement fee work?
The $250 engagement fee proves mutual commitment and reserves our senior search capacity. When you hire any candidate presented by Helix, the entire $250 is deducted from the final success fee (10% under senior, 8% for senior).
What happens if a candidate doesn't work out within 90 days?
Helix provides a 90-day free replacement guarantee. We immediately relaunch the search and place a new qualified candidate at zero additional charge.
Can Helix help hire senior leaders (VP of Engineering, Country Head)?
Yes. Our executive search practice specializes in leadership talent capable of running multi-hundred engineer organizations and regional capability centers.
