India
Staffing Agency
for US Companies
Kore BPO places software engineers, data talent, finance and accounting staff, and customer service reps out of our own delivery office in Hyderabad in 2–5 business days. $0 upfront. No placement fee until your hire starts.
An India staffing agency recruits, screens, and compliantly employs talent across software engineering, data, finance, and customer service roles on a US company’s behalf, at 60–70% below US labor costs. Kore BPO runs this from our own delivery office in Hyderabad, not a third-party sourcing contract, and delivers resumes in 2–5 business days with $0 upfront fees. We’re US owned and operated, headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

The Only Market Where Kore BPO Owns the Office
Every country page on this site describes a market we source from. This one’s different. Kore BPO has its own delivery office and talent team physically based in Hyderabad, Telangana. That’s not a recruiting partnership or a reseller arrangement. It’s our team, on our payroll, in our building.
India’s IT-BPM industry is projected to reach roughly $315 billion in revenue for the current fiscal year, on its way to a $350 billion milestone, according to NASSCOM’s Strategic Review. The country’s tech workforce sits at roughly 5.4 million people, the largest of any single offshore market we work with. That scale is what makes India the right default when a role needs deep engineering, data, or finance expertise rather than pure back-office headcount.

“Offshore” Isn’t One Country, and Most Companies Pick the Wrong City
Companies searching for an India staffing agency usually already know they want India, they just don’t know which city, and they’ve usually never had a vendor say no to a request that didn’t fit. Bangalore and Mumbai carry the highest cost and the most recruiting competition. Smaller Tier 2 cities can be cheaper but thinner on senior talent for specialized roles.
Hyderabad sits in the middle of that trade-off, and it’s the city where Kore BPO actually operates. It’s India’s second-largest technology hub, home to development centers for Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, with development centers for Microsoft, Amazon, and Google now anchoring the city’s tech corridor, per Built In’s Hyderabad IT company coverage. We’re not picking Hyderabad because it’s trendy. We’re picking it because our own recruiting and delivery infrastructure already sits there.
Kore BPO is a US-owned staffing firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with our own office in Hyderabad and a nearshore recruiting hub in San Jose, Costa Rica. We’ve placed 6,236 hires across 257 client companies. If you need software engineering, data, finance, or customer service talent filled fast, without adding to your US payroll, this is where that search should start.
How India Compares to Nearshore Latin America and a Direct US Hire
India and Latin America solve different problems. Here’s the honest side-by-side, including where India loses.
| Category | India (Offshore) | Latin America (Nearshore) | Direct US Hire |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time zone vs. US | IST is UTC+5:30, roughly 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern and 13.5 hours ahead of Pacific, no daylight saving shift | UTC-4 to UTC-6, near-full workday overlap with US business hours | Same zone |
| Talent pool size (tech/engineering) | ~5.4 million IT-BPM workforce, the largest of any market we source from, per NASSCOM | Smaller overall, strongest in Mexico and Brazil | Deepest but most expensive |
| English proficiency (EF EPI 2025) | Score 484, rank 74, Low band nationally, though Telangana state scores 548, well above the national figure | Dominican Republic 503, Colombia 480, Mexico 439 | Native |
| Cost vs. US hire | 60–70% savings | 40–55% savings | Baseline, no savings |
| Best for | Deep software engineering, data, and finance benches; overnight development cycles | Real-time collaboration, bilingual customer service | Roles requiring on-site presence |

Who India Staffing Works For, and Who It Doesn’t
A wrong-fit placement wastes everyone’s time, ours included. Here’s the honest breakdown, “not right for” list and all.
Right Fit for This
- ✓You need the deepest possible engineering, data, or finance bench of any offshore market
- ✓Work can move on an asynchronous, overnight cycle rather than requiring live-hours collaboration
- ✓Cost savings are a priority, 60–70% below US rates is the widest gap we offer
- ✓Companies between $5M and $200M in revenue scaling without adding to US payroll
- ✓You want a vendor with its own office on the ground, not a reseller of freelance talent
Probably Not Right
- ✕The role legally requires US citizenship, security clearance, or physical US presence
- ✕You need bilingual customer service with near-total US business-hours overlap. See Nearshore Staffing Agency instead.
- ✕Your team runs on Pacific Time and needs frequent live meetings mid-workday
- ✕You need someone starting tomorrow. Two to five days is fast. It isn’t instant.
Before You Decide
India staffing carries a reputation problem built by low-cost, low-vetting outsourcing shops. We’d rather address that directly than dodge it.

India Labor Markets We Recruit From
Our recruiting centers on our own office in Hyderabad, with a secondary sourcing network reaching Bangalore for the deepest engineering roles.
Hyderabad is where Kore BPO’s own delivery office and talent team are based, in the HITEC City corridor alongside development centers for Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. It’s our primary hub for engineering, data, finance, and customer service placements. Bangalore, India’s largest single tech market, gives us a deeper secondary bench for specialized engineering roles when Hyderabad’s local pipeline doesn’t have the exact skill match.
Unlike our Latin America markets, where sourcing runs through a partner network, our Hyderabad presence is a physical office with our own recruiting staff. Compliance and payroll for your India hire, including labor law requirements, are handled on our side either way.
What People Ask Before Hiring in India
The questions US companies ask most often before their first India placement.
How long does it take to fill a role in India?
Most roles get a shortlist of resumes in 2 to 5 business days. Finance, admin, and customer service roles usually move on the faster end. Senior or highly specialized engineering searches sometimes take a bit longer given the narrower skill match required.
Why Hyderabad instead of Bangalore or Mumbai?
Because it’s where our own office and recruiting team are physically based, not because it’s the single largest market. Bangalore and Mumbai carry higher cost and more recruiting competition. We supplement Hyderabad with a Bangalore sourcing network when a role needs a narrower engineering skill set.
What’s the going rate for a developer or accountant in India right now?
It varies by role, seniority, and specialization, but companies typically land in the 60 to 70 percent savings range versus a comparable US-based hire. We’ll give you an exact number once we know the role. A quote before that isn’t worth much.
Do you have a local presence in India, or work through a partner network?
We operate our own delivery office in Hyderabad with our own recruiting and talent team, plus a secondary sourcing network reaching Bangalore. This is our only offshore market where we run a physical office rather than sourcing entirely through partners.
Do I need a local entity to hire in India?
No. We handle Indian labor compliance and payroll on our side, so you don’t have to set up a local entity to hire one person.
How much overlap is there between US and India business hours?
India Standard Time is UTC+5:30 year-round, with no daylight saving shift. That puts it roughly 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern and 13.5 hours ahead of Pacific. Live overlap is limited to early morning or late evening depending on the coast, which is why most India engagements are structured around asynchronous, overnight-friendly work rather than real-time collaboration.
Is India staffing the same as offshore software development?
Not exactly. India staffing covers any role we place from our India office, engineering, data, finance, or customer service. Offshore Software Development is specifically about structuring an engineering-focused engagement. See that page if code delivery is your main need.
