About TurnKey Labs

TurnKey solves the problem facing startups and high growth tech companies who want to hire high quality offshore developers but don’t want to give up control of the team or the product development process. Thus, unlike most firms in our space, we very intentionally do not do outsourcing or managed services; instead, TurnKey combines awesome tech recruiting (where we get clients engineering talent that is perfectly aligned to their needs) with no-hassle Employer of Record services (where we deal with all the legal, payroll and administrative headaches of employing and paying offshore developers so they don’t have to). Developers are fully integrated into the client’s existing dev team and they are in full control of when, what and how they work.

Our mission is to reimagine how remote product teams operate in order to help fuel the next global wave of innovation.

TurnKey’s values are simple, and apply equally to both TurnKey employees and customers.

Life is short, so we always strive to:

~ Act with honesty and transparency
~ Work with people you respect and respect you
~ Do the right thing in every situation
~ Put quality above all else
~ Work on something that matters
