An EA buys back your time — but they support your judgment, they don't replace it.
- You need decisions made on your behalf — an EA prepares, schedules, and drafts; the call stays with you.
- You can't grant access to your calendar, inbox, and tools — EAs work inside your systems; without access, the role doesn't function.
- Your needs are sporadic — a dedicated EA pays off with a consistent weekly load, not the occasional task.
No dead weeks.
The real cost of a hire that does not work out is not the fee — it is the weeks of ramp, context and half-finished work that go with them. Most guarantees refund the money and hand you a new stranger. Three things happen here instead.
A free replacement, with no expiry
Month one or month thirty — if a specialist stops being right for the seat, we replace them at no cost. There is no 30-day or 90-day cutoff and no cap on how many times you can ask.
A fresh 5-day trial, every time
The replacement is not a stranger you are stuck with. You get five working days of real output to evaluate them, free — exactly the same trial you had on the first placement, on every replacement.
Five free days of handover
The outgoing specialist spends five days handing over to the incoming one, at no charge. Open items get documented and context transfers with the work, so you lose days rather than weeks.
This has been standing practice since we started — it is written down here because it was never written down anywhere. Read the full replacement policy

Why our rates are lower — and sustainable.
It isn't a discount or a race to the bottom. The gap is a structural macroeconomic one — and our specialists earn competitive local wages while you pay a fraction.
Wage arbitrage
The same skill is priced very differently by geography. We recruit from India's deep talent pool and place specialists with businesses globally — so you get the skill without the highest-wage market's price tag.
Currency + cost of living
Nominal FX is ~₹95.5/$ — but in purchasing-power terms $1 buys only ~₹22 of goods in India. That ~4× gap is structural and permanent, not a discount that erodes.
Eliminated overhead
No US benefits load (~30%), office, equipment, software seats, or recruiting fees (15–25% of first-year pay). One transparent rate absorbs the lot.
| Role | US in-house* | Zedtreeo | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Software developer | ~$85/hr | $8–$10/hr | ~88% |
| Digital marketer | ~$42/hr | $6–$8/hr | ~83% |
| Bookkeeper / accountant | ~$32/hr | $6–$8/hr | ~78% |
| Medical biller / RCM | ~$32/hr | $6–$8/hr | ~78% |
| Virtual assistant / admin | ~$30/hr | $6/hr | ~82% |
| Customer support | ~$26/hr | $6/hr | ~79% |
| Architectural drafter* | ~$50/hr | $18/hr | ~55% |
*US figures = BLS (May 2024) median wage plus ~30–35% benefits & overhead, per hour. Architectural drafting is a specialized production tier priced above the $6–10 base, so its savings run lower. Most roles save 70–85% versus comparable local hires.
Where the savings actually come from
A dollar trades at ~₹95 — but inside India it buys what ~₹22 buys here. That ~4× gap between the exchange rate and real cost of living is the engine, not a discount— and it's only widened for a decade. Our specialists earn a strong wage for their market; you pay less because of the currency gap and eliminated overhead, never because anyone's underpaid or the work is cut-rate.
And the spread stays honest
Most of what you pay reaches the person doing the work — not a recruiter's placement fee, not a layer of account management you never meet. It's part of why 94% of our specialists stay, and every one of them clears the Zedtreeo 6-Stage Standard before you ever see a profile.
