● 100% Statutory & Legal Compliant Solution
3rd Party Contract Staffing.
Headcount when you need it. Off-roll & off the books when you don't.
Scale a manufacturing line, retail floor, warehouse, or service team — without absorbing long-term headcount.
3rd-party contract staffing is the way most Indian enterprises scale fast in 2026. You direct day-to-day work; we employ, pay, and statutorily comply. Project ends, surge over, or you want to rationalize — scale down without HR drag.
“Every staffing engagement is led by a senior HR leader. From brief to onboarded — same SPOC.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How is contract staffing different from EOR?
EOR is for foreign companies hiring into India without a local entity. Contract staffing is for Indian companies (or Indian entities of foreign companies) that want flexible workforce on a 3rd-party payroll.
Who controls the work?
You do. We sign their employment contract, you direct their day-to-day work. The legal employer relationship is with TMS.
How are wages set?
You set the gross salary (with our market benchmarks if helpful). We pay it, plus statutory, and bill you all-in monthly.
Can we hire them permanently later?
Yes. Many of our clients convert top performers to direct employment after 6-12 months. We make the transition clean.
What's the minimum / maximum headcount?
Minimum 5 employees for a meaningful engagement. We have clients with 1,000+ employees on TMS payroll today.
Do you cover Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities?
Yes. Pan-India presence including 100+ cities outside the top 10 metros.
