We Believe 60 Hours Is the Sweet Spot.

Not everyone agrees—and that's fine. We're not for everyone. This is what we believe, who we are, and who we're looking to work with.

"60 hours a week is the sweet spot for productivity."
— Sergey Brin, Google Co-founder

The 60-Hour Philosophy

Forty hours is a paycheck. Eighty hours is burnout. Sixty hours is mastery.

At 60 hours per week, you have enough time to go deep—to truly understand the problems, to iterate until it's right, to build something you're proud of. It's the rhythm where momentum compounds, where you outpace competitors not through shortcuts, but through sheer accumulated effort.

This isn't about grinding for grinding's sake. It's about choosing work that matters—and then committing to it fully. The best professionals we've met don't count hours. They count outcomes. And outcomes require intensity.

Our Core Convictions

These aren't corporate values we put on a wall. They're the beliefs that guide every decision we make.

01

Intensity Beats Talent

A committed B-player will outperform a coasting A-player every time. We'd rather have someone hungry than someone decorated. Skills can be taught; hunger cannot.

02

Work Should Mean Something

Life's too short to spend 60 hours on things that don't matter. We only work with companies building something real, and we only recruit talent who want their work to count.

03

Honesty Over Comfort

We'd rather tell you the hard truth than the comfortable lie. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so. If your expectations are unrealistic, we'll push back. Clarity now beats disappointment later.

04

Quality Is Non-Negotiable

We reject 99% of applicants. Not because we enjoy saying no, but because one wrong hire destroys more value than ten good ones create. We protect our standards like our reputation depends on it—because it does.

05

In-Office Is the Standard

Remote work is convenient. In-office work is accountable. Our talent reports to the office because focused environments produce focused work. No exceptions, no excuses.

06

Speed Is a Strategy

The best talent is off the market in days, not months. We match in 48 hours because waiting is losing. Slow hiring is a competitive disadvantage we refuse to accept.

We're Not For Everyone

And we're okay with that. In fact, we prefer it. Here's how to know if we're aligned.

Worca Is Not For You If...

  • You optimize for "work-life balance" over impact
  • You want flexibility more than you want results
  • You think 40 hours is "working hard"
  • You're looking for the cheapest option
  • You believe remote-first is the future
  • You want to coast, not climb

Worca Is For You If...

  • You believe great work requires full commitment
  • You want talent that treats your mission as their own
  • You're building something that matters
  • You value output over optics
  • You move fast and expect others to keep up
  • You'd rather win than be comfortable

What We Expect. What We Give.

Joining the 60-Hour Club is a two-way commitment. Here's the deal.

In-Office Presence

Report to our coworking spaces during working hours. Focus requires environment. Accountability requires presence.

US-Timezone Overlap

4-8 hours of daily overlap with US Pacific Time. That means evenings and nights in Asia. Know this going in.

Don't just complete tasks. Own outcomes. Care about quality. Take initiative. Your client's success is your success.

What We Promise. What We Ask.

We're selective about who we work with—because alignment matters more than revenue.

What We Promise You

Pre-Vetted Intensity

Every candidate has been screened for skills, stamina, and hunger. No quiet quitters. No coasters. Just professionals who deliver.

48-Hour Matching

Tell us what you need on Monday, meet pre-vetted candidates by Wednesday. We move fast because winning requires speed.

True Commitment

60 hours of focused work per week. US-timezone overlap. In-office accountability. Your team delivers while competitors wait.

Our Reputation on the Line

We succeed when you succeed. If a placement doesn't work out, we make it right. Period.

What We Ask From You

Meaningful Work

Our talent wants to build something that matters. Give them problems worth solving and they'll move mountains.

Clear Communication

Be direct about expectations. Give feedback promptly. Treat your Worca team as an extension of your core team—because they are.

Growth Mindset

If talent delivers, promote them. Expand their scope. Reward excellence. The best way to keep A-players is to treat them like A-players.

Long-Term Thinking

Don't hire for a project. Hire for a partnership. The best results come from talent who feel invested in your success.
