Thankz Offshore Staffing

What Thankz Offshore Staffing does

Thankz (legal entity Thankz LLC, DBA Thankz Talent Solutions; previously Thankz Global Staffing) is a Los Angeles-headquartered, founder-operated global remote talent firm with an additional office in Porto, Portugal. Founded approximately 2012 by serial entrepreneurs Leo Gestetner (CEO) and Nick Brandt (COO) — who also co-founded Livio, Zenvoy, and Heath Capital — the company was built as a remote-first business before commercializing its remote-hiring expertise into a formal recruitment and managed-staffing platform. It positions itself as an alternative to VA marketplaces, screening the top 1–2% of candidates primarily from Asia and LATAM and claiming 40% cost savings (averaging $63,500 per hire annually) versus US-based hiring, with typical onboarding under six weeks and a 73% six-month retention rate. The company spans 17 countries across five continents, with talent speaking 14 languages.

The core platform bundles Global Recruitment, US Recruitment, and Thankz Expertz managed staffing — the latter delivered as subscription tiers from $600/month (20 hours) to $3,200/month (160 hours). Embedded infrastructure includes Agent of Record (AOR) and Employer of Record (EOR) services that enable clients to engage international employees without establishing local entities, plus Operational Excellence consulting. A wholly-owned AI development studio called CitronLab designs and builds custom AI systems, workflow automation, knowledge systems, document intelligence, anomaly detection, and customer-facing AI products, working with clients' existing tools and data. The technology stack is otherwise light on proprietary platform IP beyond the AI studio; integration scope is limited (Bill.com for payment processing).

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time placement fees (Headhunter tier at 25% of annual salary with a 60-day guarantee; Premium tier at 20% of annual salary plus $599/month with lifetime guarantee and bundled payroll, compliance, and 360 growth support), recurring managed-services subscriptions, and project-based or retainer AI development work via CitronLab. The company is sales-led with a horizontal segmentation approach targeting US-based fast-growing businesses and enterprises, supported by self-serve website inquiry, content marketing (blog, white papers, case studies), and social channels. Thankz is bootstrapped, privately held, and operates with 11–50 employees.
