In a world reshaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, the way people work has been transformed. Remote work has become the new norm, and businesses worldwide are tapping into the potential of a global talent pool. At the forefront of this revolution is a brand new startup; Teams Squared, a company that is working redefining the future of work by sourcing and recruiting the top 5% of remote talent from South and South East Asia.

Teams Squared is the brainchild of Abdurrahman Haroon and his co-founder, both of whom bring a wealth of diverse experience. Abdurrahman, the former COO of Roar Global, a Sri Lankan digital media publisher, helped grow the company to regional powerhouse while representing tech giants Meta and Google as their official sales partners. His co-founder complements this with extensive experience in resource management at major software firms, where he closed multiple six figure software contracts, as well as a previous legal career at top-tier law firms in both London and Sri Lanka.

Teams Squared’s model is unique in that they have streamlined the process of sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding remote talent. Their platform centralizes the process of finding top talent from a multitude of agencies that work across a wide variety of roles, taking the hassle out of building full-time, remote teams for global businesses. They can go from understanding a client’s needs to onboarding the perfect candidate in just one business week.

Traditional recruitment of remote workers often poses significant challenges for businesses. Companies find themselves navigating a maze of agencies, each offering similar services, followed by a tedious process of verifying each agency, narrowing down candidates, and eventually partnering with a selected few. This limits their exposure to potential talent, restricted by the number of agencies they reach out to and the candidate pool of the chosen agency. Teams Squared is reinventing this process. They take over the complexity of the backend operations, vetting and onboarding only agencies and talent that live up to their stringent criteria, thus streamlining the recruitment process for businesses, and ensuring that their clients are connected with candidates that are truly exceptional. Due to the vast access that this model provides, the company is able to provide a risk-free trial of 30 days, and free replacements as soon as one business week.

“We are not just about connecting businesses with the best remote talent; it’s about providing opportunities and empowering talent in our home markets. Many candidates in the South and East Asia region, having completed prestigious degrees at Ivy League universities in the US and Russell Group universities in the UK, are eager to apply their skills and knowledge remotely. They offer high-quality work at a lower rate than local candidates in mature markets due to the cost of living differences,”said Abdurrahman Haroon, Founder at Teams Squared

The startup places great emphasis on their rigorous vetting process. They independently assess each candidate listed on their platform, ensuring they have stellar English capabilities and experience working in a remote environment. They also have a library of detailed skills assessments that candidates are vetted through. This rigorous process ensures that only the top 5% of candidates make the cut.

Teams Squared focuses on providing talent across multiple niches with subject matter experts on their team to be able to guide the effective placement of resources to areas that really need it, like specialist developers for AI and web3 companies trying to scale and lawyers for boutique and specialized law firms. The startup, while in its nascency has grown to onboard clients from Australia, the US and the UK.

They also offer ongoing support and training, including bi-weekly check-ins and upskilling programs, ensuring a smooth journey for both the client and the talent.

In a world where remote work is becoming the norm, Teams Squared is leading the way by providing access to top-tier talent from South and South East Asia. They are not just connecting businesses with remote workers; they are empowering talent, transcending borders, and reshaping the future of work.
