I think triplebyte act as a standard recruiter in this case. Eg Dave moves from UK to US on a H1b woring for some body shop. Dave then applies to triplebyte saying &quot;yo, I hate this gig, get me out&quot;. Triplebyte then shops his CV around to startups looking for people like Dave and once a match is found they take their usual 10-30% first year salary as fee, which should more than cover any H1B admin. At no point is Dave employed by triplebyte.
