FAQ

Questions MSP owners ask us

How quickly can I get a tech?

We can present candidates as soon as we have your job description. After you make an offer, most candidates give their current employer 30 days’ notice before they start.

Does it cost anything to interview?

No. Interviewing is free, and you pay nothing until an offer is accepted.

Who is the legal employer?

Scaled Workforce (Pty) Ltd, our South African company. It handles payroll, taxes, HR, and employment law, while your tech works for you day to day. Scaled Inc. is a US company.

What hours do they work?

Your hours. Engineers are hired to cover your business day, anywhere from Pacific to Eastern time.

How will they learn our tech stack?

Most candidates already know common ticketing and RMM platforms. You train them on your stack and processes like any new hire, and each tech can take up to two Udemy courses per quarter matched to your needs.

What if it isn’t working out?

We have a 30 to 60 day cancellation notice period, so you can give notice at any time. And if a placement isn’t the right fit, we’ll find you a replacement.

Is Scaled a US company?

Yes. Scaled Inc. is a US company, and we invoice in US dollars. Our engineers are full-time, permanent employees of Scaled Workforce (Pty) Ltd, our South African company.

How is this different from an outsourced help desk?

An outsourced help desk shares its techs across many clients. Your Scaled tech is a full-time team member dedicated only to your MSP, working your tickets, your clients, and your processes, at your direction.

Are your engineers employees or contractors?

Employees. Every engineer is a full-time, permanent employee of Scaled Workforce (Pty) Ltd, our South African company, with real labor protections and benefits. Why it matters →

What equipment will my tech use?

We provide every tech with a laptop dedicated to your MSP. You manage it with your own tools and security standards, just like any other device on your team.
