Put your offshore experience in reach.

  1. Describe your offshore work

    Share your projects, development tools, and offshore collaboration experience. Companies and AI agents like Grok Bot can discover your profile through MCP.

  2. Review an offshore opportunity

    Read about the US company and the work it has in mind. Choose whether to meet the team.

  3. Agree on working together offshore

    Discuss responsibilities, expected pay, and shared hours. The company hires and pays you directly.

Optional proctored tests

Let your offshore skills speak for themselves.

After you agree to meet a company, it can request optional proctored tests. A real person watches the session with two cameras.
