Why us?

Affordable cost

We don’t believe in cutting corners, just costs. We operate predominantly out of India, which allows us to take full advantage of the lower cost of living. We can fill the roles you need at a fraction of what you’d pay locally. Affordable talent without compromising on quality.

Transparency

We are transparent with our pricing. The monthly fee you pay consists of the total cost of employment, which includes salary, local taxes, benefits, leave, equipment and other incentives to keep your hires motivated. And our management fee? It’s all there, covering our overheads and margins. No recruitment fees. No upfront fees. No hidden fees. And definitely no funny business.

British owned

Black Piano is British-owned and managed. We know the local market and we understand any concerns you may have. Think of us as your trustworthy, local partner that taps into India’s vast talent pool to give you that affordability edge. That’s what we call the best of both worlds.

Access to skills

It’s not always easy finding the right talent locally. We’ve got you covered. With a population of 1.4 billion, there is no shortage of talent in India. Our extensive network allows us to find, hire and manage the roles that might be too hard to fill locally. The talent is there, and we know where to look.

It's simple really...

Zero recruitment fees, ever. All employment overheads, covered. A single, small monthly fee, tiny in fact. We’re so transparent with our pricing, we’ll even show you how much margin we make…  (around £250 per hire). You literally couldn’t do it cheaper yourself.

Total cost of engagement

The total cost of engagement includes salary, local taxes, benefits, leave, equipment and other incentives to keep your hires motivated.

Management fee

Our tiny management fee covers our overheads, such as our recruitment and HR teams, and our margin. No up-front fees. No hidden fees.

New Future Ventures

We started working with Black Piano only 6 months ago and in that time we’ve built a team of 23 performance marketing professionals. When I met Black Piano, I wanted to set up an offshore team, and I was thinking about going it alone. Give Jonathan a call, and let him and his team guide you through the process. The speed they work is exceptional, their pricing is fair and transparent, and the additional support we get is invaluable. We’re true partners!

Nathan, CEO

The Black Piano partnership is reliable and efficient, and has resulted in our ability to deliver timeously to our clients. The best value in the relationship comes from the continual interaction with Jonathan and Abhishek. It is very easy to work with them as they are accommodating to our business needs during challenging situations. This has undoubtedly created a winning formula for success.
