Managed Services

Somewhere's new managed services provides vetted, trained professionals skilled in admin tasks, communication, and project management, with full compliance, compensation, and performance management handled for you.
In this post you will learn how to solve your recruiting challenges with remote hiring.
Managed services is an exciting new offering that Somewhere is launching in the market. Unlike our existing contingency service, managed services involves us directly hiring and overseeing resources on a daily basis. This approach means that all administrative tasks related to salaries, benefits, and equipment provision will be handled internally by our team. Customers will pay a fixed monthly fee for these services over a specified duration. As our pilot, we are looking to onboard 30 EAs by the end of January.
