How hiring works for Canadian companies

1. Brief

Tell us the role, the tools and your hours. We reply within one business day with a flat monthly rate.

2. Interview

We shortlist pre-vetted candidates. You interview them yourself and choose — we never force a hire.

3. Start

Most roles go from brief to working staff in 15–25 days. You direct the daily work; we handle payroll, HR and the workstation.

Contracts and invoicing

You sign one services agreement with TechKoders (Private) Limited and pay one monthly invoice, quoted in US dollars. The person is our employee in Pakistan, so you don't register them on your Canadian payroll. Your accountant will confirm how the invoice is booked.

What it costs against a local hire

A full-time virtual assistant through TechKoders starts at $599 a month (USD), all-inclusive — salary, payroll, workstation, supervision and replacement guarantee. No setup fee, no deposit, monthly rolling agreement, and a free replacement if a hire isn't working out. Run your own numbers or see full pricing.
