Frequently Asked Questions

Aerio Global is the global talent division of Aerio Partners, an executive recruiting firm with 15 years of experience. We source, vet, and place remote professionals from the Philippines, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and South Africa for businesses across the U.S. and beyond.

We recruit from four regions: the Philippines (executive assistants, customer service, bookkeeping), Latin America (sales and marketing), Eastern Europe (developers and engineers), and South Africa (operations and project management). Every candidate is pre-vetted through our rigorous screening process.

Unlike platforms like Upwork or Fiverr, we do the vetting for you. Every candidate goes through background checks, English proficiency assessments, skill evaluations, and culture-fit interviews. We place just 0.5% of candidates screened — so you only meet the best.

We work across many verticals including real estate, healthcare, legal, e-commerce, and agencies. Our talent is adaptable, and we match candidates with industry-specific experience whenever possible.

Most of our talent works during U.S. business hours. Depending on the region, some team members have natural overlap with EST, CST, or PST. We discuss scheduling during your intake call to ensure alignment.

Direct Hire is our placement model where we find, vet, and present top candidates for you to interview and hire permanently. You manage the hire directly. It is a one-time fee with no recurring charges.

Typical placements take 21 to 30 days from your intake call to a signed offer. We start sourcing from our pre-vetted pipeline immediately, so strong candidates are often presented within the first two weeks.

Yes. Once placed, the team member works directly for you. You set the schedule, tools, and processes. We are always available for guidance, but day-to-day management is yours.

Every Direct Hire is backed by our 6-Month Perfect Hire Guarantee. If the hire leaves or doesn't perform within six months, we replace them at no additional cost.

Talent On-Demand is our fully managed staffing model. We place talent, handle HR, payroll, compliance, and ongoing management — all for a flat monthly fee. It is ideal for businesses that want flexibility without administrative overhead.

Talent On-Demand placements typically take 10 to 20 days. Because we maintain a pipeline of pre-vetted professionals, we can often present strong candidates within the first week.
