Capability Proposal
A placement proposal for Acme Corp. One hire, fully managed, yours from day one.
What we heard
We need someone reliable who can hit the ground running without six months of handholding.
Discovery call · 8 May 2026
What this means in practice
Scope of placement
Based on your discovery call, we're scoping one role to start.
Our process
Five steps from signed agreement to first day. No black box, no runaround.
Endpoints, network, and access · locked down end-to-end
Every Umbrella Talent placement works remotely from home, on a company-issued, fully managed workstation, connected to your business through the Loop Network: a private, encrypted, audited layer between the team member and your systems. The endpoint and the network stack are tighter than a typical onshore office hire's setup, with the same accountability you'd expect from a direct employee.

Visibility you don't get with an office hire
Most managers have no real picture of what their in-office team does between 9 and 5. They see bums on seats and assume. With a Loop placement, you don't have to assume — you have data.
“I think they're working on the proposal...”
“I can see exactly what they're working on, right now.”
What's in every Loop workstation
Company-issued hardware, secured and managed from day one.
Role-based permissions and VPN access configured before start date.
Active vs idle time, app and URL summary, delivered to your inbox every morning.
G Suite, Microsoft 365 or Notion licences provisioned based on your stack.
Slack, Teams or your comms tool of choice. Ready before day one.
Your team member works your hours. No lag, no handoff delays.
Responsibilities
Clear lines from day one. We run the infrastructure and employment side. You run the work.
Pricing
Three components. One monthly invoice. No surprises.
Common questions
Working remotely from another country sounds risky on paper. In practice the controls are tighter than most onshore setups. Here's what we get asked, and what the answer is.
You'll see exactly what they do all day. Active vs idle time, application use, URL activity — all tracked and delivered to you in a daily summary. It's more visibility than you have over the team sitting in your own office. We also run weekly 1:1 check-ins with every placement, and if performance drifts we flag it before you have to ask.
Every Loop placement works on a company-issued workstation we manage end-to-end — full-disk encrypted, MDM-enrolled, USB blocked, screen capture restricted, no local file storage. All traffic to your systems runs through an always-on encrypted VPN tunnel. The Loop network, not their home Wi-Fi, is what touches your business.
Your data ends up more locked down than it would be on a typical office employee's laptop.
Every placement is provisioned with a mobile data failover on a separate carrier. If their fixed connection drops, the workstation automatically routes through 4G/5G — usually inside 30 seconds, without breaking the VPN session. We monitor connection health and ping you proactively if anything looks unstable.
Yes — every Loop placement works AEST hours as standard, regardless of which country they're based in. We source talent from the Philippines, South Africa and Fiji, and recruit specifically for people who can sustain Australian business hours long-term.
Time-zone reality: Philippines is two hours behind Brisbane, Fiji is two hours ahead, and South Africa works an earlier shift with built-in premium pay for the pattern. We screen for AEST availability first and sustainability second — so no graveyard surprises, no burnout turnover.
They join your stack like any other employee. Slack or Teams, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, your project management tool, your CRM. They attend daily standups by video, jump on internal calls, and behave like a team member — because they are. The only difference is the physical location.
USB ports blocked. Clipboard transfers between your apps and personal apps blocked. Screen capture restricted. Print logged or blocked depending on your settings. No local file downloads. Full activity audit on every login. And every placement signs an NDA + IP assignment under our master services agreement before day one.
The physical exfiltration paths a typical office hire has access to — USB drives, printers, photos of screens — simply aren't available here.
Six-month replacement guarantee. If they resign or you terminate for cause within the first six months, we source and place a replacement at no additional recruitment cost. Replacement sourcing starts within 48 hours of notification. You carry zero recruitment risk for the first half year. (Full guarantee details are in the next section.)
Risk reversal
If your placement doesn't work out in the first six months, we source and place a replacement at no additional cost. You carry zero recruitment risk.
You hire through us. We carry the risk that the hire works out. For the first six months from the placement start date, if anything goes wrong on the people side, we make it right.
Who you're working with
Founder · Umbrella Talent
Hands-on from role brief to first day. I've placed EAs, VAs, ops coordinators and marketing support across Australian businesses in professional services, SaaS, finance and construction. Every placement I make, I manage directly. You'll never deal with a junior consultant or an account manager — you deal with me.
