Relocation Model

The Situation

An enterprise firm required senior backend expertise for integration into security-sensitive internal systems.

Permanent on-site presence was required due to cross-department collaboration and controlled access policies.

Given the seniority level, the company required structured validation before initiating sponsorship.

Operational Scope

• Senior backend shortlist
• 1-week technical trial
• 8-week structured remote collaboration
• Architectural evaluation
• IND documentation coordination
• Direct payroll transfer upon relocation

Engagement Model

A remote-to-relocation structure was used to confirm senior-level capability before transitioning to direct employment.

Immigration was initiated only after remote performance was validated.
