How Bluesheets.io hired senior architects in India without losing them on comp

Bluesheets (now operating as fileAI) is a Singapore-based, AI-native data processing platform that automates financial workflows and bookkeeping for businesses

The Challenge

Senior hires. Singapore entity. India comp complexity.

Bluesheets.io, registered in Singapore, wanted to build its India team with senior technical roles: a Lead Solutions Architect and a Senior Manager of Solutions Architect. No India entity meant no direct hire path. But the bigger problem wasn't just getting the paperwork in order.

The candidates they wanted came with existing compensation structures. Match those structures and you close the hire. Miss them and the candidate walks. At this level of seniority, that margin is slim.

Bluesheets.io needed a partner who could provide the legal employer framework in India and map every component of each candidate's salary structure accurately, before the window closed.

The Solution

Exact match. Every component.

Gloroots became the Employer of Record in India, handling the legal employment infrastructure Bluesheets.io didn't have locally.

The work didn't stop at the offer letter. Gloroots structured the compensation to mirror each candidate's existing benefits, base salary, allowances, statutory components, and deductions, exactly. No rounding, no approximation. The candidates could see their current package reflected in what they were being offered, which removed the hesitation that typically kills senior hires.

All onboarding documentation and payroll were set up from day one, with no gaps in the transition.

The Results

3 hires. Exact comp. No talent lost.

• 3 employees onboarded in India for a Singapore-registered company with no local entity
• Lead Solutions Architect and Senior Manager Solutions Architect successfully placed
• Salary structure matched exactly to each candidate's existing compensation, no discrepancies
• Clean onboarding and payroll from day one, with zero administrative overhead for Bluesheets.io

In Their Own Words

What do you like best about Gloroots?

The comp matching was what made the difference. We were hiring senior architects in India from Singapore, with no local entity. Getting the employment structure in place was one thing, but getting the salary structure exactly right was what let us close the hires. Gloroots mapped every component of the candidates' existing packages accurately. That's what brought them across the line.

What do you dislike about Gloroots?

Not much. Onboarding was clean, salary structures were set up correctly from the start, and payroll ran without issues. There wasn't anything that caused friction on our side.

What problems is Gloroots solving, and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to hire senior tech talent in India from a Singapore base, with no local entity. Gloroots gave us the Employer of Record framework and, more specifically, matched each candidate's salary structure exactly. That second part was the deciding factor. Senior hires at this level don't move unless the comp is right. Gloroots made sure it was.

Why do you use Gloroots services?

We use Gloroots to hire in India without setting up a local entity. Their ability to match existing salary structures precisely is what sets them apart for senior technical hires, where comp accuracy is the difference between closing and losing the candidate.
