The operating model

Managed pods: a team, its management layer, one monthly figure.

A pod is a standing group of specialists with a lead, a remit and a reporting line into your business. You are buying delivered capability — not headcount, not hours, not a shortlist of CVs.

Configurator

Build the pod you need.

Select a pod, set the seats against each role, and send the configuration to us as an enquiry. Figures are indicative and inclusive of management, workspace and equipment.

The management layer

What you are actually buying.

Every pod carries the same layer of management and infrastructure. It is the difference between a managed capability and a set of remote contractors.

  • A named engagement lead

    Your single point of accountability for performance, reporting and escalation.

  • Employment and people management

    Permanent Kosovo contracts, payroll, appraisals, training and progression — all held by BE.

  • Workspace, equipment and access

    Managed office space in Prishtina, provisioned hardware and controlled access to your systems.

  • Continuity cover

    Planned absence and departure handled by us, with handover documented rather than improvised.

  • Quarterly engagement review

    A written review of performance, capacity and roadmap, with a forward plan agreed each quarter.

Commercial terms

One monthly fee per seat. No placement fees, no recruitment commission, no day-rate escalation. Twelve-month initial term, then rolling.

Scaling a pod

Seats are added or removed at each quarterly review, with a notice period agreed in the engagement document.

Hiring approval

You interview every shortlisted candidate and hold final approval on who joins your pod. We do not place people you have not met.

Working hours

Prishtina sits at GMT+1, giving full overlap with the UK working day and no handover lag.

Send us a configuration and we will price it properly.
