FAQ
Questions we get asked most.
Yes. Commit Offshore is headquartered in Petah Tikva and Tel Aviv and is part of COMMIT, an Israeli technology group. It was founded in 2014 as ITSoft and has been part of COMMIT since August 2021. Your account is managed from Israel, in Hebrew or English, and you receive one invoice for every engineer, wherever they are based.
14 countries: Israel, Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Albania, Portugal, Spain, Georgia, Ghana, Nigeria, the Philippines, the UK, Canada and the US. City hubs include Kyiv, Lviv, Warsaw, Bucharest, Lisbon, Tirana, Tbilisi, Accra, Lagos, Manila, London, New York and Toronto. Commit Offshore can also act as Employer of Record in all 14 countries.
The first vetted CV usually arrives within 48 hours of a confirmed brief; it is a typical target, not a guarantee. Staff Augmentation engineers typically start about 2 weeks after you choose them, subject to their notice period. If you need someone sooner, some bench specialists can start within 48 hours of sign-off, case by case.
No. As Employer of Record, Commit Offshore employs the engineers locally in 14 countries and sends you one monthly invoice in USD or EUR. A local labor lawyer drafts each employment contract with a worldwide IP assignment to your company, and the engineer can start once the contract is signed and any notice period ends, with no entity setup.
Human plus AI screening. AI maps your role to the exact technologies, CVCO ranks 16,000+ candidate profiles, and a senior recruiter reads and screens the shortlist. Every candidate we send you has passed a recorded live technical exam built for the role, and you receive the score, the recording and the recruiter's notes with each CV.
Often, when the startup wants senior engineers inside its own team. Commit Offshore is Israeli-led, works in Hebrew and English, starts at one engineer for 3 months, and the first vetted CV usually arrives within 48 hours of a confirmed brief. It is a weaker fit if no one in-house can direct the work, or if you want a fixed-price MVP delivered end to end, where a project vendor fits better.
In Commit Offshore's October 2026 estimates, a senior engineer costs about $14,500 a month all-in as a local hire in Tel Aviv, against $5,200 to $8,750 a month all-in in seven offshore locations, which is 40% to 64% less. The offshore figures include employment costs, benefits, equipment, EOR and our fee. These are internal estimates, not a salary survey; the full table is on the cost benchmark page.
An offshore hiring agency finds engineers in other countries for your company. Some only recruit, and you employ the hire; others, like Commit Offshore, also employ the engineer locally and replace them if needed, while the engineer works in your team. Before you sign, ask any agency who the legal employer is, how candidates are tested and what the replacement terms are.
