Remote recruitment
Remote recruitment for UK businesses
Add skilled people to your business without building a recruitment process first. Choose a route, see who does what, and start with a short call.
The short answer
What we do
Our remote recruitment services
Pick the route that matches how much of the hiring you want to hand over.
Staff augmentation
Add skilled people to your existing team for a project or a gap, without a permanent hire. You direct the work and we find the person.
Hire dedicated developers
A developer or small team who builds your product over time. You set the priorities and we handle the search.
Recruitment outsourcing
We run sourcing, screening and shortlisting for you, so your team spends its time on interviews and decisions.
Compare
Which remote recruitment route fits you?
A remote recruitment agency usually offers one of these. We offer all three, so the choice follows your need.
| Route | Best when | What you receive | Who manages the work |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staff augmentation | You need extra skills for a project or a gap | A candidate or small group added to your team | You direct the day to day work |
| Dedicated developers | You are building a product and want a steady developer | A developer or small team working on your product | You set the priorities |
| Recruitment outsourcing | You have several roles and want the process run for you | Sourced, screened and shortlisted candidates for each role | You make the hiring decision |
Not sure which row is yours? Book a call and we will say plainly which route fits, or whether none does.
How it works
How remote recruitment works with Zemash
The same four steps whichever route you choose.
Brief
You tell us the role, the skills, the working hours and what success looks like. We ask questions until the brief is clear.
Shortlist
We search, screen and send you a shortlist.
Interview or trial
You meet the candidates you like.
Start
You choose and the person starts. Terms are agreed in writing before work starts.
Before you call
Write your role brief before you talk to us
A clear brief shortens every search. Write down the outcome you need and the skills that matter. Add the hours and the tools the person will use.
Our comparison of staff augmentation and a recruitment agency shows how the routes differ.

From the Zemash group
Need a single assistant rather than a hire?
For one assistant role, such as admin, marketing or sales support, Pro Virtual Assist is a Zemash group company that supplies virtual assistants. It is a different route from the three above.
Full time, part time and team virtual assistants for admin, marketing, sales and development support.
Questions
Remote recruitment questions
What is remote recruitment?
Remote recruitment is finding and hiring people who will work for you remotely. Zemash runs the search, screening and shortlisting, and you decide who joins your business.
How is remote recruitment different from using a recruitment agency?
An agency usually fills a role and steps back. We offer that, and also staff augmentation and dedicated developers, where the person works as part of your team after the hire.
How long does remote recruitment take?
It depends on the role, how scarce the skills are and how quickly you give feedback on each shortlist. We confirm the expected timing on the call.
What will I see before I interview a candidate?
You see each candidate’s skills, experience and working hours before any interview.
How much does remote recruitment cost?
Pricing depends on scope. Book a 15 minute call or email contact@zemash.com.
When can I reach Zemash to talk about a role?
UK office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm UK time. The team also works across other time zones, so Zemash can cover most time zones. Book a 15 minute call or email contact@zemash.com.
