Common questions
Most of the office side. Scheduling, dispatch, estimating support, customer service, marketing and bookkeeping all work remotely.
Pavago candidates are pre-vetted before you ever see a profile, so you're not sorting through a job board. You see real work samples, rates, and message directly, no recruiter middleman slowing things down.
Every candidate goes through a skills review, portfolio check, and reference verification before appearing in the pool. Roughly 1 in 300 applicants makes it through.
Our talent pool spans LATAM, Africa, South Asia, and Europe. You can filter by region when searching.
In the first 60 days, your replacement is free: no additional placement fee. After that, replacements stay free for as long as you keep the $149/mo plan for that hire, which you can cancel anytime.
Your hire’s contract and offer letter come from a locally compliant template, sent for e-signature inside Pavago. Payroll runs through our partner Plane (plane.com), which pays contractors in 240+ countries. You pay your hire directly from your own Plane account, so Pavago never touches the money. Using Plane costs you nothing for the first 60 days (Pavago covers it), and after that an optional $149/mo per hire keeps it running, cancel anytime. The Plane account stays yours even if you leave Pavago, and you can always run payroll yourself instead.
Searching is free, and a free account adds profile previews (experience, skills, rates) and intro videos. Messaging and interviews are $99/mo, month-to-month. A flat $1,999 placement fee is charged only when your hire signs, and after the first 60 days an optional $149/mo per hire keeps payroll and free replacements going.
You get matched candidates in under a minute. Interviews and offers typically happen within days, not weeks.
