Questions
What is Stafka?
A job board for hiring remote staff in Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and Kazakhstan. You post jobs and search anonymous profiles here; candidates find your job on the site of their own country, in their language.
Who are the candidates?
English-speaking professionals in Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and Kazakhstan: assistants, customer support, e-commerce operations, finance and other office roles. Candidates in Russia and Belarus are not on Stafka.
What does it cost?
Posting a job, receiving applications and browsing profiles are free. If you hire anyone you found through Stafka (an applicant to your job, an intro or our shortlist), you pay a one-time $2,500–3,000 on their start day, with a free replacement within 90 days. No hire, no fee. Optional extras: a hot job costs $99 for 30 days, support after the hire $250 a month, and recruiting agencies can take a plan for $99 or $199 a month. You pay the person directly every month; we never take a cut of their pay.
Why is the monthly pay so much lower than in the US?
Pay is set against local wages in each country, and you hire a contractor directly, without US payroll taxes or benefits.
How is English checked?
Every candidate Silkstaff sends you has English from B2+ to C1 and passed our written task, a recorded voice answer and a live video call with us: fluent English, verified on a live call. On the board, each profile shows the level and says whether we checked it ourselves or it is self-assessed.
Do candidates pay anything?
Never. Candidates use Stafka free, and nothing is deducted from their pay.
