What is Hire & Deploy staffing?

Hire & Deploy is a staffing model in which a staffing firm recruits workers, employs them on its own rolls and deploys them at the client's site. Novelworx, a manpower services firm headquartered in Bengaluru, runs Hire & Deploy across India for blue-collar, grey-collar and technology roles, and carries employment, payroll and statutory compliance itself.

Who it's for

When you need people, not paperwork.

  1. Plants, warehouses and sites

    Operators, helpers, technicians and supervisors who need to start on time and be paid on time.

  2. Peaks and projects

    Seasonal volume, a new line or a fixed-term project, without permanent headcount.

  3. A new city

    People on the ground before you have built local HR, with registrations checked first.

  4. Headcount off your rolls

    Your site keeps running while employment and statutory risk sit with us.

What's included

We hire and employ them. You direct the work.

Everything that comes with being an employer stays with us, every month.

How it compares

Hire & Deploy, payrolling or direct hire?

  1. Hire & Deploy

    • We find and vet the people
    • They are on our rolls
    • We carry payroll, PF, ESIC, PT and exits
  2. Payrolling

    • You find the people
    • They are on our rolls
    • We carry payroll, PF, ESIC, PT and exits
  3. Direct hire

    • You or a recruiter find the people
    • They are on your rolls
    • You carry employment and compliance, or outsource payroll

Hire & Deploy suits roles where speed, volume and compliance matter more than keeping each person on your own rolls.

Questions, answered

What is Hire & Deploy staffing?

Hire & Deploy is a staffing model in which Novelworx recruits and vets workers, employs them on Novelworx rolls and deploys them at the client's site. The client gets a ready workforce. Novelworx carries employment, payroll, PF, ESIC, PT, attendance, leave and exits, and reports to the client every month.

Who is the employer in a Hire & Deploy arrangement?

Novelworx is the employer. Deployed staff sign employment terms with Novelworx and appear on Novelworx rolls, so Novelworx pays their salaries and deposits their statutory dues. The client is usually the principal employer under contract labour rules, which carries its own obligations that Novelworx helps the client meet.

What types of workers can Novelworx deploy?

Novelworx deploys blue-collar, grey-collar and technology talent. That covers site and field roles such as operators, helpers and technicians, skilled and supervisory roles, and technology professionals. Novelworx has 3,000+ people on its rolls across clients in 10+ industries, including manufacturing, energy, healthcare, financial services and IT services.

Who handles PF, ESIC and PT for deployed staff?

Novelworx does. For every person deployed on Novelworx rolls, Novelworx registers eligible employees, deducts contributions, deposits PF, ESIC and Professional Tax on time and files the returns, along with TDS on salaries where it applies. Every deadline sits on a compliance calendar that Novelworx manages ahead of time.

Who supervises deployed staff day to day?

The client directs the day-to-day work at its own site, because that is where the work happens. Novelworx remains the employer. It runs payroll, statutory dues, attendance records, leave, grievances and exits, and can place an onsite HR professional with larger deployments so workers have someone to turn to.

What does a client need for contract labour compliance?

A client that engages contract workers usually needs its own principal employer registration, records of the contractors it uses and proof that those contractors pay wages and statutory dues correctly. Novelworx keeps its own licences and filings current and gives clients the records they need for audits and inspections.

Can Novelworx staff a new site or city?

Yes. Novelworx recruits and deploys people in new locations, with corporate offices in Bengaluru, Chennai and Mumbai and further offices in Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Pune, Delhi and Goa. Before anyone starts, Novelworx checks the state registrations the location needs, including Professional Tax, so the new site starts compliant.

Can deployed staff move to the client's rolls later?

Yes, where the contract allows it. Many companies use Hire & Deploy as a way to see people at work before offering a permanent role. Novelworx agrees the conversion terms with the client upfront, so moving a worker from Novelworx rolls to the client's rolls is simple and fair to everyone.
