Built so you can trust remote work you can't see
AI-vetted candidates
Every applicant completes a structured AI voice interview for your specific job. You get an English evaluation report — skills, evidence, motivation, fit — before any call.
Zero language barrier
Chat is auto-translated both ways with originals preserved. Meetings include a live AI interpreter. Resumes, evaluations, and work reports arrive in English.
Hours you can verify
A desktop tracker captures time, periodic screenshots, and activity intensity. No more guessing whether billed hours were real.
AI work reports
After each session, an AI auditor writes what was actually done, how focused the work was, and whether output matches the amount billed.
Weekly automated billing
Review the weekly timesheet, approve, and your card is charged in USD. Operari handles worker payouts, contracts, and Japanese compliance.
Flexible engagements
From 10 hours/week to full-time. Trial periods, weekly hour caps, term contracts with auto-renewal — pause or end anytime.

FAQ
How does Operari remove the language barrier?
Three layers of AI translation: (1) all chat messages are automatically translated between English and Japanese with the original preserved, (2) meetings include a live AI interpreter that interprets consecutively between both languages, and (3) candidate resumes, interview evaluations, and daily work reports are generated in English for you.
How are candidates vetted?
Every applicant completes a structured AI voice interview specific to your job posting. You receive an English evaluation report covering skills, experience evidence, motivation, and fit — before you spend any time on calls.
How do I know the hours I pay for are real?
Workers track time with our desktop app which captures periodic screenshots and activity signals. An AI auditor writes a work report for each session — what was done, how focused it was, and whether the output matches the hours billed.
What does it cost?
Posting jobs, searching candidates, and AI interviews are free. When work starts, you pay the agreed hourly rate plus a platform fee on billed hours — and the platform fee is 0% for your first month. No retainers, no minimums, cancel anytime.
How does billing work?
Weekly and automatic. You review the timesheet (with AI work reports), approve it, and your card is charged in your chosen currency (USD supported). Workers are paid by Operari — you never handle Japanese payroll, contracts, or compliance.
Why hire from Japan?
Japan has a deep pool of senior engineers and designers known for quality, reliability, and low turnover — historically locked away by the language barrier and domestic-only job markets. With the yen at multi-decade lows and Operari's AI translation, that talent is now accessible at 50-70% of comparable US rates.
