Question 1

Is Humanloop a staffing agency?

Accepted Answer

No. Staffing sells a person and leaves you the scoping, training, onboarding, and definition of what good looks like. Humanloop starts with the business requirement, defines the capability that must exist, and takes responsibility for building and running it. A dedicated operator is how the work is delivered, not what is being sold.

Question 2

What is the difference between Humanloop Placed and Humanloop Managed?

Accepted Answer

Humanloop Placed suits organizations that already have a team, documented processes, management, and training in place and need extra capacity: we source, vet, pre-train, and embed the operator. Humanloop Managed suits functions starting at zero: we design the capability, run a 90-day ramp, manage execution against milestones, document everything, and transition into a sustained operator.

Question 3

What happens during Humanloop discovery?

Accepted Answer

Discovery maps current state against target state: what exists, what is missing, what solved looks like, and how both parties will know it happened. The output is a written plan with named milestones, explicit scope, dependencies, and measures. If staffing is not the right answer, Humanloop says so at that point.

Question 4

What does the Humanloop 90-day roadmap include?

Accepted Answer

Days 1 to 30 are foundation: systems, access, baseline, standards, and an operator trained on your stack and embedded. Days 31 to 60 are build: the work ships against discovery milestones with reporting on a fixed cadence. Days 61 to 90 are optimize and scale, with everything documented as it is built. From day 91 the operator runs the function in steady state while Humanloop manages performance.

Question 5

How does Humanloop price an engagement?

Accepted Answer

Engagements are scoped against the outcome and against what the same result costs to execute onshore, rather than against hours or a flat published rate. Discovery produces the scope and the number, together with the plan behind it.

Question 6

Who employs and manages the operator?

Accepted Answer

Humanloop does. Sourcing, training, onboarding, documentation, performance management, employment compliance, payroll, and replacement all sit with Humanloop, so the client gains one accountable partner rather than another management responsibility.
