    How we make money

They work your hours.

A full 8-hour day on your New York 9 to 5, live on calls and chat.

You only interview people who have agreed to your hours: the recruiter confirms the schedule with each one first.

Your 9 am–5 pm in New York is 4 pm–midnight in Kyiv. Candidates pick their hours in their profile and know the time difference when they apply. Want some async? Ask for a split or local day.

Check any city pair
On the Kyiv clock, your 9:00 to 17:00 in New York is 16:00 to 00:00: they work your hours, 8 of 800061218

Every applicant gets the same score.

The score adds up five parts: English, experience, tools, hours and pay. A recruiter calls only those at 75 or more.

When do I pay?

Only if you hire. Asking for candidates and interviewing them cost nothing. Our fee is invoiced once, on your new hire's start day.

What if they leave?

If the person leaves or does not work out within 180 days of the start date, we find a replacement at no extra fee: one per hire, when the fee was paid on time and the role, hours and pay stay as agreed. No refunds.

How do contracts, pay and taxes work?

You sign a contractor agreement with the person and pay them directly every month, through Deel, Wise or Payoneer. They handle their own taxes where they live. We never take a cut of their pay.

What if none of the 3 fit?

You owe nothing: the fee is due only when someone you chose starts. Tell us what was missing and we search again on the corrected brief, still free until you hire.

Why not just post on OnlineJobs or Upwork?

You can, and posting on Stafka is free too. A job board hands you the whole inbox: you read every application, test the English and check the hours yourself. We score every applicant the same way and call the best, so you read 3 profiles.

Is Stafka a job board or an agency?

A hiring service first: our recruiters source, score and shortlist 3 candidates for your brief, and you pay $2,500 once, only if you hire. You can also post a job and screen applicants yourself; hiring one of them carries the same fee.

Who is behind Stafka?

Stafka is the hiring service of Silkstaff, a hiring agency with its team in Paris. We recruit full-time remote executive assistants, customer support and e-commerce staff in Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan for US and European companies; other roles go to a partner agency, whose fee you see before you hire. Silkstaff is at 86 rue La Fayette, 75009 Paris, founded by Oskar Verigo. Write to hello@stafka.com and a person answers within one business day.

What about other roles?

We recruit executive assistants, customer support and e‑commerce staff ourselves. For other roles a partner agency takes the same brief; its fee, shown before you hire, can differ from ours.
