HOW TUNGA WORKS

After someone starts, the staffing side keeps running: contracts and payments every month, check-ins, the occasional problem, and sometimes a replacement. This is what we keep doing for as long as the role runs.

Keeping people.

The people we place mostly want to stay. They get interesting work, good fees paid on time, and a personal contact at Tunga who knows them, checks in on how they're doing and helps when something comes up. Of the placements we ran in 2025, roughly 1 in 56 ended because the professional left for another job; so far in 2026, none have. On our side it's the same: everyone on our account team has been with Tunga for at least four years, so the person you talk to stays the same too.

Performance guidance, when it helps.

We check in regularly with you and with your team member. If you feel something isn't working, we help find out what's behind it by talking to both sides. How your team member performs is your call; making sure the conditions are right is ours.

Cultural bridging.

Working across continents, cultures and time zones creates friction that has nothing to do with competence: different communication styles, different assumptions about feedback, different norms around availability. We've seen these patterns over more than ten years of placements, and we help both sides find a way of working that suits them.

Contracts, payments and compliance.

Contracts, payments, invoicing and compliance stay with us for as long as the role runs, including the legal and administrative questions that come with working across borders.

Troubleshooting.

When something isn't working, you don't have to figure it out alone. Whether it's a performance concern, a team dynamic issue, or a practical problem, we're there to help resolve it.

Replacement.

If you say it isn't working, or someone leaves, we replace them, with no limit on how long into an engagement that holds. You don't start a new search from scratch: we already know your team and what the role needs, and your contract stays with Tunga.

Placements rarely end early without a replacement. With the match not working as the only reason, it happened in 1 in 200 of the placements we ran. With the match not working plus other reasons, such as a budget cut or a project winding down, in 1 in 40. How we count this.

Every company we work with is different. Some need a senior developer embedded in their team, full-time, for a year. Others need a product manager three days a week while they figure out the next phase. Some come to us with a specific project and a clear timeline. Others aren't sure yet what they need and want to explore.

There is no menu of packages. We start with your situation and work out the right setup together, up to arranging hardware or office space when that is what it takes.

Full-time.

A full-time engagement: someone who works in your team every day, in your tools and your rhythm, as a freelancer contracted by Tunga. This is the most common setup.

Part-time.

Dedicated capacity at a reduced commitment. Works well for roles that don't require a full-time presence, or for companies wanting to start small.

Project-based.

A defined period for a defined piece of work, such as a migration, a rebuild or a product sprint. We provide the people for that period; the work and its outcome stay yours.

When you're ready to move, we can too. For many roles, you'll have a shortlist within 48 hours and someone operational within a week. That comes from having a deep, pre-vetted pool and a matching process built for efficiency.

Timelines vary, and complex roles take longer.
