What does 'on payroll' actually mean?

On day 30, the crew is your employees — direct contracts, your payroll system, your benefits. We're not a body-shop charging perpetual markups; we deliver people and step out of the way.

What if a hire doesn't work out?

We include a replacement guarantee in the first 90 days (60 for Starter, 90 for Crew, ongoing for Scale). If someone isn't the right fit, we replace them at no additional fee.

Do you only do engineering?

No — we staff across engineering, design, GTM, and operations. Mixed crews are common.

What does the training week actually look like?

We co-design a 5–7 day ramp-up with your team: stack-specific tutorials, pair-programming, real (not toy) starter tasks from your backlog, and rituals like standups and PR review. Output by Friday: shipped internal work.

How is this different from a recruiting agency?

Recruiters stop the day someone signs. We don't. We train them on your world, embed them, and make sure they're productive — not just hired. That's where 1-in-3 hires usually fail.

Can we hire remote? International?

Yes. We work across timezones and handle compliance for direct employment in 40+ countries via our partner-of-record network. Time-overlap requirements are part of the role profile.

You do. From day one, your crew works under your employment agreements with standard IP assignment. We never claim ownership of work product.

How fast can you start?

Most kickoffs happen within 5 business days of contract signature. Tight deadline? Tell us on the call — we can compress where it makes sense.

The problem

Hiring is broken.
You shouldn't pay for it.

Traditional recruiting is slow, expensive, and stops the moment someone signs an offer. The first 30 days — when a hire either becomes valuable or vanishes — are left to chance.

New hires don't make it past 90 days.

Mostly: bad ramp-up, not bad people

What we do

Three things. Done well. In thirty days.

Hire.

We source and vet candidates against your role profile, stack, and culture. You only meet finalists you'd actually hire.

Role profile co-designed with your team
Vetted shortlists, not resume floods
Pair interviews with your hiring lead

Train.

Selected crew goes through a tailored ramp-up on your stack, playbooks, and product. They show up week 1 already useful.

Custom training curriculum
Pair-programming with your seniors
Real-world ramp-up tasks, not toy projects

Payroll-ready.

On day 30 the crew is on your payroll, contracts signed, gear shipped, accounts provisioned. No middle-man markup forever.

Direct employment, no perma-contractor lock-in
Compliance, contracts, payroll setup handled
Replacement guarantee in the first 90 days

The 30-day plan

Thirty days. Four sprints. One crew.

What teams say

Founders who've stopped hiring the hard way.

Call My Crew built our founding engineering team in under a month. By week three they were shipping. By month two we'd forgotten they came from outside.

Prithviraj

Founder, Sotrue

We'd burned a quarter on recruiters and gotten nowhere. Call My Crew delivered the roles we needed in 28 days — already trained on our stack and ready to ship.
