In-House International Hiring Proves Overwhelming for Kaya's Team

As a Y Combinator-backed startup, Kaya experienced explosive growth with startups from all around the world lining up to work with them. The pressure was on to build a world-class team with talent from all over the world.

Kaya initially attempted to manage international hiring in-house, assigning team members to research local laws, draft contracts, and handle payroll and benefits for each country. However, they underestimated the complexity of compliance and cross-border transactions. They often failed to account for varying payment methods and banking systems, leading to delayed payments.The hiring process was slow and led to missed opportunities.

The leadership team found themselves dedicating more time to administrative tasks than strategic initiatives. It became evident that they needed a more effective solution to navigate the complexities of global hiring and scale their marketing efforts successfully.
