Why Us? (A Note from Our Founder)

Sagar Chainani

Sagar Chainani

Founder, Versatile

“Most EOR companies promise two-week hiring by focusing only on compliance and payroll. At Versatile, we know speed means nothing without the right talent. Hiring isn’t a quick fix; it’s a deliberate choice that shapes the business you’ve built.”

“As a founder, I’d never want you to hire fast only to fire fast. We help you find people you can’t imagine letting go — because lasting hires take time, and that’s what makes them worth it.”

Most EORs focus on speed. We focus on fit.

Every role, business, and industry will require a different hiring approach. We don't look at hiring marketers the same way as hiring devs. 

  • 1

    Value Alignment with Your Culture

    Each week we get on a call with your team to understand the cultural and hiring context of your company. The nuances of your team culture, your projects and the kind of person that would work well within your team. 

  • 2

    Develop a Comprehensive Hiring Audit

    We audit your hiring system and assess what works best for your business. Whether it’s one senior hire or a junior team with a consultant. You get a report across 50+ hiring parameters, even before becoming our client.

  • 3

    Multiple Culture-Fit Assessments

    We have multiple assessments taken by our team of I-Psychologists who test the talent on 50+ culture parameters. Additionally, we also have team collaboration round where you test how they perform with your team in a real environment.

    We Always Have a Backup Talent Ready

    If a hire isn’t the right fit after a month or so, we’ll quickly replace them with vetted talent that aligns seamlessly with your team.

On the Fence About EOR Hiring in India?

Here’s how we answer what most founders ask before they scale with us.

💡 Can a lean team like yours keep up with growing demands?

Yes. We’re boutique by design — every client gets founder-level attention instead of being lost in a ticket queue. Our tested EOR processes scale with your growth, delivering speed, reliability, and retention — without the bloat.

🌍 But big EORs cover 180 countries — why choose India?

Most SMBs don’t need a “global footprint.” They need the right footprint. India offers deep talent in tech, design, and operations — we help you tap into it precisely where it matters.

🕒 Will timezone overlap actually work?

Yes. Our teams in India work with built-in US/UK overlap hours. With SLA response times and a Success Coach, you’ll never deal with timezone chaos.

⚖️ Do you have compliance expertise?

Absolutely. We’ve built India-specific legal and payroll partnerships tailored for SMBs — not enterprises — ensuring your operations remain compliant and secure.

🔍 Can you ensure quality and retention long-term?

We screen 100+ candidates per role, use culture-fit scoring, and maintain a backup pool for every hire — ensuring consistency and retention beyond onboarding.

🤝 How involved will you be after onboarding?

Very. Our Success Coach monitors performance, engagement, and alignment for the first 90 days — ensuring your hires stick and succeed within your workflows.

📈 What kind of reporting will I get?

You’ll receive transparent monthly reports — from SLA adherence and retention metrics to compliance updates — so you always know your team’s progress.
