Why the usual options fall short
Recruiting agencies
Flat fee of $5,000–$20,000 upfront. No HR support, no equipment, no performance management after placement.
Freelance platforms
Upwork, Fiverr and similar platforms give you gig workers, not exclusively assigned employees who show up and grow with your team.
EOR services
EOR providers like Deel handle payroll and compliance only. You still source, vet, and manage the person yourself.
The F5 difference
F5 Hiring Solutions sources, vets, hires, equips, and manages your professional full-time. One weekly rate covers everything - no agency fees, no HR overhead, no equipment costs.
A managed remote workforce - we employ them, we manage them.
