Spero

Test international talent before you hire.

Hire pre-trained employees with a 60-day, low-risk trial before making a permanent hiring decision.

How it works

Scaling with international talent is the smart move. The first 60 days carry the risk.

01

Hard to assess fit

Skills look good on paper, but real-world performance is unknown until they're already on your team.

02

Onboarding costs add up

Training time, tools, and HR overhead are all invested before you know if the hire will work out long-term.

03

Commitment risk

Replacing employees is costly and disruptive, yet assessing long-term fit takes months.

Talent Test Drive removes those risks. You get 60 days to evaluate performance before you hire.

Five steps from Pathway to your payroll.

A vetted source of talent, a training program that grades them, and a 60-day working interview on your team. Then the decision is yours.

Spero has saved us a ton of money in overhead and training costs. We get almost the same results from Spero SDRs as we would with an internal rep, but at half the cost.
