    How we make money

Their day overlaps yours.

Up to 6 shared hours with your New York 9–⁠17, live on calls and chat.

They take a 13:00–22:00 shift in Kyiv: that is 06:00–15:00 your time, so your morning is shared. The rest of the work runs async.

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.
