# Hiring & Recruiting Across Borders: Secure, Staged Payments

### **🧩 The Challenge**

Global hiring is messy:

* No standard for contracts or guarantees
* Milestone payments (e.g. post-signing, post-probation) often go unsecured
* Placement fees disputed or unpaid
* Legal ambiguity across jurisdictions
* Slow bank wires and invoicing headaches

***
