What countries do the talent come from?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

We focus exclusively on the Philippines thanks to the optimal time zone (same time zone as Perth), huge pool of internationally experienced talent (115 million people - if they exist, we'll find them) and very high levels of English (95% speak it). We also love Filipinos for their warmth and sense of humour.

Can't I just hire talent myself?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

Yes you absolutely can but it’s time consuming and can be a minefield. By using our recruiters we’re able to identify the best talent and include our communication & technical assessments. We also run background checks.

How do your fees compare to industry standards?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

The average recruitment fee in Australia costs $5,000 to $25,000, so our fees are right at the bottom. When you factor in the savings on management fees, our clients are saving thousands.

Why not use a freelance platform?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

You absolutely can but these freelancers are often working with dozens of different clients and you’re also going to be paying a management fee to the platform. It also takes a lot of time to sift through the accounts and find great talent.

Aren't you taking jobs away from Aussies?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

We live in a globalised world. Some roles are better suited for those in Australia, some offshore, we like a combination of both. 

The reality is for a lot of startups they simply can’t afford Aussie salaries too initially.

Why are you claiming to be ethical?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

A lot of traditional offshore companies pay their talent below market rates and have huge markups. By helping companies hire offshore talent directly, we help companies save thousands, allowing them to also pay their talent more competitively.  

Why not hire through a BPO or offshore management company?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

BPO or offshore management companies typically mark up their fees 3 to 5x, without adding a huge amount of ongoing value. Instead, we think it’s better to hire talent directly, saving you thousands of dollars and allowing you to pay your talent more competitive rates, which keeps them happier and leads to better retention.

Are these employees or full time contractors? Do we need to pay super?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

It depends on your working relationship and level of control. Many clients engage talent as independent contractors to keep things simple, while others prefer an EOR setup for full compliance. We offer both paths — and provide a lawyer-reviewed agreement to help you stay compliant.

How do we pay the talent?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

Most of our clients just pay one monthly retainer from the banks to the talents. Some like to use Wise because of the better forex fees.

What if the candidate doesn't work out?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

We offer a 6 month guarantee and can help find you a replacement, free of charge. Please refer to our T&Cs page in the footer for more information.

How do you handle security and compliance?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

We completely understand that security and confidentiality are critical when handling sensitive client data. That’s why we ensure the talent we place adheres to the same—or even stricter—security protocols than those found in traditional outsourcing agency setups.

We’ve successfully worked with industries like mortgage brokers and digital forensics, where security and compliance are non-negotiable. These teams succeed using robust solutions such as dedicated VPNs, password management systems, two-factor authentication (2FA), and secure cloud-based workflows.

The direct-hire model gives you full control over the security measures implemented, unlike outsourcing agencies where you rely on their predefined processes. By hiring directly, you can customize security protocols tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring there are no gaps.

Who are you guys?

Email or password invalid error message in pop-up box with a close icon.

We’re Shaun & Eliot, brothers and co-founders. We grew up at Bronte beach and live locally. We built and sold two ecommerce businesses and hired a lot of offshore talent across a number of countries. We made all the mistakes with online freelance platforms and working with management companies, but eventually worked it out and decided to turn it into a business.

Unlike a lot of offshore recruitment firms that are global companies, you can always reach us directly on the phone and even meet us for a coffee. In fact, we love meeting our clients, it’s partly why we do it.
