A platform to set up your Indian Tech Team.

Elphe offers global companies a platform to establish "work-from-home" software development team in India. Through our talent search feature, you can identify potential candidates residing in India and conduct direct interviews. Once hired, we handle employment on your behalf, enabling you to establish a direct relationship with the candidate from the outset, except for HR-related matters like payroll and benefits. This arrangement costs only a fraction compared to setting up a similar team in your home country, thanks to economic disparities and exchange rates.

Elphe caters to companies seeking to build sustainable teams in India for the long term. For short-term roles, we recommend exploring platforms like Upwork or similar services.

Elphe provides unparalleled emphasis on facilitating the establishment of remote teams from the ground up. Unlike other platforms that primarily focus on transitioning contractors to permanent employment, Elphe offers you a unique and proactive approach through its Talent Search feature. This feature serves as the foundation for your venture into remote team setup, providing access to a diverse pool of skilled Indian talent. By leveraging Elphe's Talent Search, you can efficiently identify and engage with the best-suited candidates for your specific needs, ensuring a seamless and successful transition to remote work.

Additionally, Elphe's two-party platform fosters direct communication between you and the talent, streamlining the hiring process and fostering strong, productive working relationships.

Elphe empowers you to build high-performing remote teams from scratch, driving efficiency, innovation, and long-term success for your company.

• Find candidates with required skills using our talent search.
• Send “interview request” to suitable candidates.
• Access candidates email and mobile number once the interview request is accepted.
• Organise one or more rounds of interviews with the candidate directly.
• Liaise with us and sign a “service agreement”, if a candidate is selected.
• Receive email notification from us upon completion of local joining formalities for the candidate.
• Communicate the induction procedure directly and onboard the candidate.
• Setup recurring weekly subscription during probation period.
• Liaise with us for all future HR related matters including salary, performance, attendance etc …

During the probation period, which lasts for three months, the notice period for both parties is one week. This period allows you to evaluate the skills and attitudes of the talent before committing to a long-term relationship.

You'll pay a weekly subscription during the probation period. If you find the candidate unsuitable during this time, you can terminate the employment with one week's notice. You explicitly confirm if a candidate has successfully completed the probation period, after which you'll transition to a monthly subscription model.

Elphe operates with the philosophy of enabling direct engagement between you and the candidate, without unnecessary intermediaries. Our platform serves as the conduit for establishing a direct relationship, while also ensuring legal compliance and support. This means that while Elphe handles HR and legal matters behind the scenes, such as employment contracts and compliance with local regulations, you will interact directly with the candidate on a day-to-day basis. This setup allows for clear communication channels and fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility within your team.

In essence, the talent will function as a direct member of your team, with Elphe ensuring seamless support in HR and legal aspects.

Based on our experience, we've learned that the success of a remote team isn't guaranteed by hiring just one person. While starting with one individual might seem like a logical choice, we highly recommend beginning with at least two or even three members for the initial team size. Our observations indicate that a successful remote tech team can save companies several hundred thousand dollars annually in the long term. However, many companies stumble at the outset because they attempt to start with too small of a team—often just one person.

The primary reason for the failure of one-person remote hires is rooted in team dynamics. Collaborating and delivering results as a team is considerably more effective than working as individuals, particularly in a remote setting.
