What's Included in Hiraya's 2 to 4 Week Placement Timeline, and When Does Your New Hire Start Working?

What happens during Hiraya's 2 to 4 week placement timeline

Hiraya's placement window of 2 to 4 weeks covers the full recruitment and preparation phase before your new hire begins work. During this period, Hiraya manages candidate sourcing, screening, and selection from its Philippine talent pool, then handles onboarding setup including payroll configuration, HR documentation, and role preparation. The timeline ends when your team member is ready to start their actual work duties, meaning the recruitment and administrative setup are complete before day one of productive work begins.

The exact start date depends on the role complexity and your specific requirements, but the 2 to 4 week window is designed to compress what would typically take much longer through direct hiring. Once placement is confirmed, Hiraya continues to manage payroll processing, HR administration, and performance oversight on an ongoing basis.

What support continues after your hire starts

After the placement period ends and your new team member begins working, Hiraya provides ongoing management services including payroll administration, HR support, and performance management. A dedicated account manager is assigned to your team to maintain accountability and handle any operational needs that arise. This means you are not managing the offshore employee directly through Philippine-based systems, but rather working through Hiraya's Australian-based oversight.

The ongoing relationship removes the need for you to handle employment administration, compliance, or performance issues independently across time zones and jurisdictions.

How the no lock-in contract works with placement

Hiraya offers no lock-in contracts, meaning you retain flexibility around your team size and commitment length. The 2 to 4 week placement timeline applies to the initial recruitment and setup phase, but your contractual obligations do not extend beyond what you agree to. This structure allows you to scale your offshore team up or down based on business needs without being locked into long-term commitments.

The placement process itself remains the same whether you are hiring one team member or building a larger structured team, with Hiraya managing all recruitment, onboarding, and ongoing HR administration throughout the arrangement.

Who benefits from this timeline

The 2 to 4 week placement window suits Australian businesses that need to fill roles quickly without the delays of traditional recruitment or direct international hiring. Organisations that have already identified the role requirements and skill level needed benefit most, as the timeline assumes clear job specifications. Businesses managing multiple offshore team members can leverage Hiraya's centralised payroll and HR administration to reduce their own operational overhead.

Companies seeking flexibility without long-term contracts find the no lock-in structure particularly valuable, especially if they are testing offshore team expansion for the first time or adjusting team size seasonally.

Comparing offshore team building approaches

Direct recruitment from Philippine agencies typically requires longer timelines and leaves you responsible for onboarding, payroll compliance, and performance management. Hiraya's model compresses the placement phase and centralises administrative burden, reducing the operational complexity of managing an offshore team from Australia.
