Supplying Contract Staff in India for an International Employer's Pilot Project
The Challenge
An international employer wanted to test a new India-based project before deciding whether to invest in permanent local hires, but had no way to bring on staff for a time-limited pilot without navigating Indian employment law and payroll setup itself, and no appetite to build that infrastructure for a project that might not continue.
Our Approach
Alliance International supplied contract staff matched to the pilot's specific skill needs, handling local payroll, compliance and contract administration so the employer could focus purely on running the pilot itself. The engagement was structured with a clear review point at the pilot's end, giving the employer the option to convert staff to permanent roles or release the contracts cleanly.
The Outcome
The pilot project ran fully staffed without the employer setting up any India employment infrastructure, and the employer converted part of the contract team to permanent roles once it decided to continue the project.
