A COMPLETE ROLE DEPLOYMENT
We Stay Involved After the Hire.
Most recruiting processes end when someone accepts an offer. Our work begins before the job is posted and continues through the first 60 days of the new arrangement. That gives the worker defined expectations and gives the founder a clear way to judge progress.
Phase 1 | Diagnose the Work
We review one business function: what arrives, who does it, which tools are used, what output is expected, how long it takes and where it breaks down. We identify the cost of the current approach and the quality standard a redesigned role must meet.
You receive: A concise opportunity assessment with a baseline and the first recommended improvement.
Phase 2 | Design the Human + AI Workflow
We separate tasks suited to automation or AI assistance from tasks that require human judgment. We set the handoffs, permissions, exception paths, deadlines and measurable outputs. We use existing reliable tools first and identify any custom development that needs separate approval.
You receive: A future-state workflow, responsibility map and tool plan.
Phase 3 | Recruit and Verify
With appropriate access to your Upwork company account, we write the role brief, source applicants, review work history, interview qualified candidates and run a relevant paid work sample when appropriate. We assess capability, communication, reliability and ability to notice AI errors.
You receive: A recommended shortlist with supporting evidence and tradeoffs. You choose the contractor and approve the contract.
Phase 4 | Equip and Onboard
We prepare the work queue, SOPs, starter assignments, access checklist and feedback process. The contractor receives the tools and context needed to do the role while the client controls account permissions and confidential information.
You receive: An onboarding plan, usable workflow and first approved deliverables.
Phase 5 | Coach the First 60 Days
Days 1–14
Clarify expectations, test the first assignments and correct issues early.
Days 15–30
Establish independent delivery, quality checks and predictable reporting.
Days 31–60
Improve recurring work, reduce avoidable supervision and document the operating standard.
You receive: Progress reviews at agreed milestones, updated SOPs, a role scorecard and a final handoff recommendation.
Phase 6 | Manage and Improve, If Needed
For clients running several contractors or AI workflows, our fractional operations team can coordinate work, address performance concerns and track results against company priorities. This is a separate monthly service with a defined management scope.
You receive: A recurring operating rhythm and clearer performance visibility.
How the Client Stays in Control
The client owns the business goals, approves compensation and hiring decisions, authorizes sensitive actions and directly engages the contractor. Integral operates as an authorized recruiting and operations partner within agreed limits. The client also controls vendor accounts, billing and permissions.
The Result We Measure
We track the cost and quality of completed work, time required, training progress, exception rates and the amount of founder or manager attention needed. A good deployment improves the economics of the role while making performance easier to manage.
