    01 — The problem with offshore

    How does managed offshore staffing work?

    Most offshore is arbitrage. Ours is operations.

    Marketplaces sell you hours. Agencies sell you whoever is on the bench. Both leave you managing strangers across a time zone, then wondering why velocity never arrives.

    We took the opposite position. Everyone we place is an independent contractor engaged by Sprint Labs and held to one standard: ours. You get the person. We handle the contracts, fees and payments, time off, performance concerns, replacement and offboarding.
