Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact us directly for personalised assistance.

How quickly can you deliver a team?

You’ll see fully-vetted, elite devs in 10 days and have them onboarded in 14 days – vetting, contracts, payroll integration, admin, HR, compliance, and performance management – all taken care of.

How do you ensure quality without direct oversight?

Pre-onboarding: Our rigorous 4-stage vetting process measures candidates across tech skills, culture fit, language skills, and in-person advanced tech interviews. 100,000+ apply each month, only 1% make the cut. 

Post-onboarding: Our customer success teams proactively monitor performance levels to identify and resolve issues before you even notice them. The Smart Working AI Academy ensures every Smart Worker is continuously trained and upskilled in AI and the latest tech.

What level of control do we have?

Complete control. Smart Working teams are fully embedded into your delivery structure, reporting directly to your leads. You decide priorities and workflows; we ensure continuous performance and delivery quality.

What happens if an engineer underperforms or doesn’t live up to expectations?

All Smart Workers are rigorously vetted and meet the highest quality standards. In the extremely rare case of underperformance, we’ll replace the employee at no additional cost.

Can we scale the team mid-project?

Yes, the Smart Working model is designed to help you scale up your team in a matter of days, even mid-project.

What about confidentiality, data security, and intellectual property?

All Smart Workers sign comprehensive NDAs and IP agreements. You own any IP developed. Smart Working is ISO 27001 certified, offering enterprise-grade data security.

How does your billing work?

Every Smart Worker works a 45-hour week. So, you get a simple, predictable monthly invoice. That’s it – no hidden charges, zero fuss.

What kind of cost savings can consultancies expect?

Typically up to 50% savings compared to full-time bench models or traditional hiring, with zero compromise on quality. Our ROI calculator breaks this down based on your exact bench size and delivery model.
