About
We help the world build teams in China
HireFromChina is a China team building platform for overseas founders and companies. We combine recruiting, verification, studio launch support, and local operating capability — so building in China feels structured, not experimental.

Who we are
Since 2018, we have helped companies from the US, Europe, and APAC launch China units — from lean Studio Starter teams to full software studios and production-side capacity.
We are not a job board. We work with operators who need a team that ships — with English-first process design and local execution.
