What do you need to hire?

Describe a role or team in plain English. Our AI advisor matches you with vetted, available professionals and their live monthly cost.

Three ways to engage

One specialist, a managed pod, or an AI training team

Whichever you choose, OSCABE sources, vets, employs, manages and pays the people under one UK contract.

GCC-as-a-Service

Large companies build their own India engineering hubs.
Now you can too.

Google, Shell and Accenture run Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India: dedicated teams of hundreds of engineers working exclusively for that company. India now has 1,760+ such centres employing 1.9M professionals.

OSCABE builds yours, without the India entity, the office, or the overhead. You get the same dedicated offshore team through a single UK contract, from £2,000/month.
