HR services for small businesses at just $599 per month

Hire, pay, and manage employees in India with Kaamwork EOR services - no need for an in-house HR team

HR Services for small businesses:
the smarter way to hire and manage

Running a small business in the U.S. already stretches your time and resources. Payroll, compliance, benefits, and employee onboarding can quickly drain bandwidth and money. So, you think of outsourcing talent. That’s when you make the biggest mistake. Top engineers, developers, or marketers don’t work on hourly rates on some third-party freelance platform. They are already working in top blue-chip companies like Amazon, Microsoft, or Expedia.

To attract the right people with the right skills who will stay long enough to make a difference, you typically need several months or weeks to source them, with no guarantee of successfully hiring them for your team.

That’s where HR services for small business step in. Instead of outsourcing an HR team, you plug into an HR ready platform like ours that handles everything — while you stay in control.

With Kaamwork’s Employer of Record (EOR) model, you can:

Hire in 48 hours without forming a U.S. or India subsidiary

Control who joins your team — every hire is selected by you, not staffed by a vendor.

Run payroll, taxes, and compliance seamlessly — all transparent, all compliant with U.S. and Indian laws.

Offer competitive benefits like India’s Provident Fund (retirement savings plan) or ESIC (social security/health insurance) without needing local HR expertise

Why choose Kaamwork’s remote hr services for small businesses

Most providers offering “HR services for small business” in India are outsourcing vendors. They staff you with whoever they have on the bench and keep your IP, culture, and processes tied to them.

Kaamwork is different. We help you own your team from Day 0, while we manage the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Here’s how we stand apart:

Start with your first hire in 48 hours

We share 2–3 qualified profiles within 24-48 hours of your first call. We have an unbeatable record for making our clients grow to 10 hires in under 6 months.

Cut HR costs by up to 80% starting this quarter

When you choose Kaamwork, you only pay a flat fee of $599 per employee per month. No markups, no overhead. Our EOR model has helped clients cut HR costs by up to 80%

Your team, your tools, your culture

From Slack and Jira to your meeting schedules, your India team works exactly as your U.S. team does. Zero compromises

You own it all

Your team works for you, not us. You retain all IP, hiring decisions, appraisals, promotions, and career paths. Kaamwork is just a tech-enabled HR platform that removes friction by handling the technical stuff

Guaranteed 95% retention of A-level hires

Kaamwork attracts professionals from India’s best companies and universities. And unlike traditional outsourcing firms, we invest in their career development by offering coaching, learning allowance, and so on. That’s the reason why employees stick around. Our attrition rate is less than 5%. Compare this to the industry average, and you will see it’s 30%+

Future-ready scalability & growth

Need 5 engineers today, 50 by next year? Scale without red tape. When you’re ready to set up your own entity, we transition you smoothly — zero lock-in

Frequently asked questions

How does Kaamwork ensure the quality of candidates?
Traditional contractors go through basic hiring and are done. They would send you 30 candidates (mostly unrelated to your job profile). We don’t work like that.

Kaamwork has a vetting process that is thorough and involves technical tests, structured interviews, and reference checks. We only propose candidates that meet the criteria, so your team can focus and meet with only qualified candidates. We would rather source 3 top-level candidates than send 30 underqualified shortlist CVs to you.
Is cost the only advantage of hiring through Kaamwork?
Cost is definitely one of the benefits of hiring through Kaamwork. But things don’t stop there. When you choose Kaamwork’s EOR services, you reap a multitude of benefits. These include a fast hiring process, high-quality talent, and being able to hire and scale talent without the administrative burdens of setting up a local entity.
What types of roles can I hire through Kaamwork’s EOR services?
Kaamwork specializes in recruiting full-time professionals across various domains, including:
- Technology: Software developers, data scientists, and engineers.
- Product: Product managers and designers.
- Operations: HR specialists, finance experts, and customer support.
Which engagement model will be best for my small business?
Here’s how you can assess:
- Need talent tomorrow? → Direct Contractor (start in 48 hours)
- Building for the long haul? → Full-time Employee (maximize retention & culture)
- First time in India? → Build-Operate-Transfer (de-risk your expansion)
Can we hire fast if we need someone urgently?
Absolutely. You can start interviewing within 48 hours, and your first hire can start almost immediately.
How do you protect our IP and handle all the compliance stuff?
Your intellectual property stays yours, period. All team members sign comprehensive NDAs and IP assignment agreements before they even see your code. On the compliance side, we handle everything - Indian labor laws, tax obligations, PFs (think of it as their 401k), healthcare coverage, the works. You focus on building products; we handle the paperwork.
Do employees get the same experience as working in a U.S. startup?
Absolutely. Your India hires integrate into your workflow from Day 1. We even support perks like laptops, wellness stipends, or team-building events, so employees feel part of your culture.
How do small businesses benefit more than large companies?
SMBs can’t afford to spend $500K+ or wait 12 months for entity setup. Kaamwork levels the playing field by giving small teams access to the same A-level talent as Fortune 500s, without the cost or delay.
