How to hire remote employees

You tell us who you need and what you need them to do. We recruit and screen candidates in the Philippines based on your requirements, then introduce you to the people who fit.

Then you interview the ones you want and choose who to hire. They work in your systems, on your hours, while we handle all the details outside of their duties, including local employment, payroll, benefits, HR, IT, and ongoing employee support.

Most staffing agencies find a candidate, charge a placement fee, and step away. Payroll, benefits, and replacing them become your job.

We recruit and screen too, but there’s no placement fee, and we stay the employer. Payroll, benefits, equipment, and HR are ours. If a hire doesn’t work out, we replace them at no extra cost.

It depends on the role, experience, and skills you’re looking for.

Once we know who you need, we’ll give you the cost upfront. There’s a one-time setup fee per employee, followed by a monthly fee. Businesses typically save 50–70% compared with hiring a similar role in the US with equivalent education, experience, or other qualifications.

Most roles are hired within 2 weeks (14 days). Timing depends on the role, how specific your requirements are, and your interview schedule. If we expect the search to take longer, we’ll say so upfront.

Your hire starts working your hours, in your tools. You manage the work through the RE Portal, while our local team handles payroll, benefits, HR, IT support, and day-to-day employee support.

We keep recruiting at no extra cost. You don’t pay anything until you’ve chosen someone and we’ve hired them.

Remote Employee® is the legal employer. We employ your team member locally in the Philippines and take care of their payroll, taxes, contracts, and compliance. You just pay a set monthly invoice while we take care of the rest.

Yes. We facilitate the interviews, but you ask the questions. All we need is your availability and who you want to meet from the shortlist.

We handle recruiting and initial phone screening including background and medical checks, then introduce you to qualified pre-vetted candidates through a shortlist. After interviewing the ones you want, you choose which ones you want to hire.

Yes. You can hire full-time or part-time, and either way they work only for your business. They work your hours, use your tools, follow your processes, and focus on the role you hired them to do.

Through the RE Portal, which puts hiring and managing your Remote Employees in one place.

Browse candidates, manage interviews, view employee information, track time and performance, access documents, manage tasks, and stay on top of your team while we handle the local support behind the scenes.

Yes, that’s part of how we screen. Just tell us what you use, whether it’s QuickBooks, Salesforce, HubSpot, GitHub, or something else.

We’ll shortlist candidates who have already worked in them, so you’re not paying someone to learn your systems. You’ll see their experience on every profile before you meet them.

Once you’ve chosen who you want to hire, we’ll deal with their employment contract, set them up with a workstation and equipment, prepare their benefits, and get them connected to you.

All you take care of is giving them access to your systems, training them in your processes, and managing them as a member of your team. Keep in mind, we have 24/7 IT support, so if you ever need assistance with the hire, we’ve got it covered.

Instead of paying your hires through payroll, you just pay our invoice at the end of the month. We take care of the details so that your hire is actually employed and not a contractor or freelancer. We accept bank transfers and credit card payments for the invoice.

There’s a one-time setup fee per seat, which covers their workstation and equipment. Replacing a hire costs nothing extra: if you’re not happy, we replace them for free.

You control their access. You set their logins and permissions in your own systems, whether that’s your books, your CRM, your codebase, or your help desk, the same as any in-house hire, and remove them whenever you need to. They work on equipment we provide, over secure networks.

Yes. Every Remote Employee is based in the Philippines and employed by us locally.

They work your hours, from one of our Class-A offices or from home, with a local team supporting them either way.
