Why hire an IT hire offshore
Sri Lanka’s growing tech ecosystem and strong engineering education make it a cost-effective IT hub with close UK-hours overlap — dedicated capacity you manage directly.
Whichever hub fits the role — Sri Lanka or the Philippines — TalentDock is the legal employer. We handle contracts, payroll, equipment, IT and HR, and cover the data-protection footing (DPA and the UK IDTA for restricted transfers). Because your hire is employed overseas and works wholly outside the UK, there’s no employer NIC, no auto-enrolment pension, and no IR35 status determination for you to make.
General information, not legal or tax advice — confirm your position with a qualified UK adviser.
A dedicated IT hire for up to 70% less
Compared with the true cost of a UK hire salary, NICs, pension, equipment and recruitment fees one all-in monthly fee, one invoice.
Common questions
Do we manage them or do you?
You direct the technical work day to day; we handle employment, equipment, IT and HR behind the scenes.
What if we need a specific stack?
We source to your stack — tell us the languages, frameworks and cloud you use and we shortlist to match.
Can we scale the team up later?
Yes — add seats as you grow, without UK recruitment fees or redundancy risk.
