The challenge
A growing SaaS business needed a Senior Platform Engineer for its Kubernetes platform, but local demand was high and salaries off the charts. The role could be remote, yet the company lacked access to international specialists it could employ compliantly via an Employer of Record (EoR).
The solution
The company uploaded a brief to reach specialists with lower salary expectations. Within 48 hours XpertDirect delivered five interest-validated matches in a similar time zone. After speaking to all five, they chose a specialist in Greece doing a similar role for half the local salary, employed through an XpertDirect EoR partner on four weeks' notice.
The outcome
- Fully onboarded within 1 month of brief
- 5 interest-validated matches in 48 hours
- ~50% salary saving vs local hiring
- Fully compliant international employment
- Wider European talent pool
“Expanding our search beyond local candidates gave us access to exceptional talent we simply couldn't find at home.”
