Recruiter & Manager Due Diligence
Direct answers to the most frequent screening questions regarding legal compliance, working hours, and technical onboarding.
What is your notice period and earliest start date?↓
Immediate (0 days notice). I am not bound by any non-compete or employment agreement and can onboard immediately into your engineering team or commence a sprint within 24–48 hours.
How do you handle timezone overlap with US and European teams?↓
I am based in India (IST, UTC+5:30). For US teams (EST/PST), I maintain 4–6 hours of synchronous working overlap during morning/afternoon handoffs. For EMEA/UK teams, I share nearly full working day overlap. All asynchronous work is backed by structured PR descriptions, Loom walkthroughs, and clear issue tracking.
What is your legal and contracting setup for international companies?↓
I can be hired as a full-time remote employee via Employer of Record platforms (such as Deel, Remote.com, or Oyster) or engaged as an independent B2B contractor. I am W-8BEN ready for US entities and provide standard tax/invoice documentation.
Are you open to a paid trial sprint or technical assessment?↓
Yes. I welcome practical evaluations: 2–4 hour take-home technical challenges, live system architecture discussions, or a 1-week paid trial sprint to demonstrate real code quality, communication, and engineering autonomy.
What is your intellectual property (IP) and confidentiality policy?↓
All code, documentation, schemas, and assets created during our engagement are 100% your company's intellectual property. I execute standard non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and IP assignment agreements prior to writing the first line of code.
