Get Virtual Work — by Zealight Innovation Labs

Top talent. Great work. On your timeline.

01What we do

We are first a software company.

Get Virtual is the talent recruitment and management arm of Zealight Innovation Labs — a software development and talent management company that builds software solutions and recruits and manages tech teams for companies across the globe. We are first a software company before we are a recruitment agency. We know first-hand what our clients need, because we hire, manage and ship with the same people we place.

That changes what you get. We don’t forward résumés and wish you luck — we source, screen and match every professional, support onboarding and integration, monitor the engagement, and stay accountable for performance for as long as we work together.

02Who we serve

Built for teams in your working day.

We work with founders, CTOs, hiring managers and operations leads across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, wider Europe and Australia. Lagos runs on UTC+1 — the same working day as London, one hour from Berlin, and a full shared morning with the US East Coast. Your team here works when your team there works.

Whether you’re a startup filling your first engineering seat or an established company standing up a dedicated delivery team, the model flexes to fit: full-time, part-time or project-based.

03Ways to work with us

One partner, six ways in.

Hire an individual

A screened developer, designer, data scientist or specialist who joins your team and reports to you — with our management layer behind them.

Build a dedicated team

We assemble a managed team around your product — engineering, design, QA and more — and keep it performing.

Strengthen an existing team

Add screened specialists to close a skills gap or increase capacity, integrated into your tools and workflow.

Managed delivery

Hand us the outcome, not the org chart: we run the team, the check-ins and the KPIs, and you review the results.

A complete software project

From scope to shipped product — we are a software company, and delivery is what we were built on.

06How it works

From brief to working team, one pipeline.

Every engagement moves through the same six stages. You tell us what you need; we shortlist screened professionals or scope the team; and once work begins, we stay in the loop with check-ins, feedback cycles and performance monitoring.

  1. Stage 1 Source
  2. Stage 2 Screen
  3. Stage 3 Match
  4. Stage 4 Onboard
  5. Stage 5 Manage
  6. Stage 6 Grow

No job boards, no résumé piles, no guesswork — a managed process from the first conversation onward.

07Why teams trust the delivery

Managed like software, because that’s what we are.

Screening you don’t have to redo

Candidates pass skill assessments, background checks and practical work simulations before they ever meet you.

Performance that’s watched, not assumed

Real-time monitoring, regular check-ins, agreed KPIs and proactive issue resolution keep engagements on track — and surface problems before you feel them.

Communication on your tools

Our professionals work in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and whatever your team already uses, with communication practices set up during onboarding.

Your hours, not a night shift

Working from UTC+1, our teams share the European working day and overlap the North American morning — real-time collaboration, not overnight hand-offs.

And because engagements are structured well, they cost less: clients can save up to 70% compared with traditional hiring, though actual savings depend on the role, seniority, your location and the engagement model you choose.
