Charlie Chang’s apps

Global Hiring OS

Find, screen, hire, contract, pay, and manage overseas workers.

Everything between deciding to hire abroad and the person being paid on time each month, in one place. Sourcing, screening, the contract, the classification question, the payment run and the ongoing management - with the payroll itself carried by a licensed partner rather than by us.

What a v1 does5 features
  • Sourcing and screening with scorecards, so candidates are compared on the same things
  • Country-aware contracts and a contractor-or-employee check before signing
  • Onboarding checklists including tax forms and equipment
  • Monthly pay runs through an employer-of-record partner
  • One dashboard of who is working on what, in which country, at what cost

The market

Proven marketHiring and global employment
$1B ARRat Deel, from 37,000 customers and 1.5M workers

Deel charges per worker, $49 a month per contractor and $599 a month per employee under employer of record, and processes $22B of payroll a year. This charges a flat $199 a month for the software, and payroll runs through an employer-of-record partner at that partner's rates, so the two prices are not like for like.

Why this audience

Hiring overseas is a stated lever in this content and the audience is trying it, usually through a marketplace and a prayer. The classification, contract and payment questions are genuinely hard. They have the intent already and no infrastructure.

Before it can launch

  • An employer-of-record or agent-of-record partner to carry payroll; worker classification rules per country; W-8BEN collection; GDPR for anyone hired in the EU

How the pricing works

A flat platform fee. Pricing per worker turns this into payroll, and moving payroll money is money transmission in most US states - so payouts run through the EOR partner and we charge for the software around them.

Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.

Is this the one for your audience?

We fund it, build it, and run it. You bring the audience and take a share of the revenue. Nothing to pay and nothing to build.
