Common Questions
How is Lago different from Upwork or Fiverr?
We don't take a percentage of wages, don't use escrow, and don't have time tracking. We monetize access and management, giving you premium talent without the gig marketplace chaos.
What's included in the Managed Service fee?
Recruitment, vetting, onboarding, ongoing management, payroll coordination, and guaranteed replacements. The flat monthly fee covers everything—contractors are paid directly and receive 100% of their wages.
Which regions do you hire from?
We currently source talent from the Philippines, Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil), and Serbia. These regions offer exceptional English proficiency, strong time zone alignment, and deep talent pools.
Do I need to verify my company?
Yes. All employers must be approved and have a payment method on file before contacting talent. This protects our talent pool and ensures serious inquiries only.
