Recruitment, outsourcing, or software development?

Three ways to work with ERAMOVA, and how to pick the model that fits your goal.

The three models in one minute

ERAMOVA offers three distinct engagement models. Recruitment is a one-time hire you employ directly, for a fee equal to one month of the hired employee's gross salary. Employee outsourcing gives you a dedicated remote employee who works exclusively for you — ERAMOVA handles sourcing, onboarding, day-to-day management, HR administration, and payroll processing, while you direct the tasks and deliverables, billed monthly. Custom software development delivers a built product as a fixed-scope project or a dedicated team, with full code ownership transferred to you upon full payment and NDA protection.

Compare the three models

The same work can often be done through more than one model; the difference is ownership, management, and how you pay.

When to choose each

A simple way to decide, based on how much you want to own and manage.

  • Choose recruitment when you want to hire directly and build your own team, and you're comfortable managing HR and payroll.
  • Choose employee outsourcing when you want dedicated capacity without setting up a local entity or running HR and payroll — you direct the work, ERAMOVA runs the operations.
  • Choose software development when you want ERAMOVA to own delivery of a defined product or project, as a fixed-scope build or a dedicated team.
  • Many companies combine or move between models over time — for example, starting with a managed remote team and later recruiting directly. A free discovery call can help you scope the right mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Recruitment is a one-time service: we shortlist candidates and you hire them directly for a fee of one month's gross salary. Outsourcing is an ongoing model: the remote employee works for you but is sourced, managed, paid, and supported by ERAMOVA on a monthly basis.

Choose software development when you want a defined product or project delivered end to end — as a fixed-scope build or a dedicated team with a project manager — rather than adding an individual engineer to your own team.

For software development, full code ownership is transferred to you upon full payment, and every project is covered by NDA and IP protection. With outsourcing, you own the work output and direct the tasks.

The outsourced employee works exclusively for your company. ERAMOVA handles sourcing, onboarding, day-to-day management, HR administration, and payroll processing depending on the engagement scope, while you direct the tasks and deliverables. The exact responsibilities are set out in the applicable Agreement.

Yes. Many companies begin with a managed remote team and later recruit directly as their needs settle. A free 30-minute discovery call can help you plan the right sequence.

It depends on your goal. ERAMOVA supports startups and SMEs across all three models — rapid recruitment, a managed remote team without HR and payroll setup, or an MVP or product build. A free discovery call can help you choose.
