Why businesses go offshore.
Lower costs
Save up to 70% on labor, and trim overhead and operating costs along with it.
Longer hours
When your local team logs off, your offshore team can pick up, so customers wait less.
A much bigger talent pool
Reach experienced people you can’t find, or can’t keep, locally. Especially in IT.
People who stay
Roles that churn at home are sought-after careers offshore, so your team sticks around.
More focus
Hand off the time-consuming work and point your local team at what grows the business.
Faster turnaround
More hours in the day and more hands on deck: deadlines met, not missed.
Trusted by
One partner for everything you need to hire.
Instead of stitching together recruiters, an employer of record (EOR), payroll, HR, and IT, you get one partner and one monthly invoice.

- Starts at just $125/week

Why the Philippines leads the pack.
It consistently ranks among the best places in the world to outsource. Here’s why.
English, spoken clearly
An official language, learned alongside Filipino from childhood, with an accent customers find easy to follow.
Real savings
A lower cost of living means big savings for you and a good living wage for your team.
Built for outsourcing
A major part of the economy, backed by growing infrastructure and government support.
Educated and driven
A young, growing, well-educated workforce that treats these roles as careers.
Common worries, answered.
Thinking about going offshore? These are the questions we hear most, with straight answers.
You might wonder
Will the quality be there?
With the right partner, you get experienced people screened for the actual work.
You might wonder
Will we understand each other?
In the Philippines, English is an official language and the everyday language of work.
You might wonder
Will I lose control?
No. You manage your team directly, on the same calls, chat, and tools you use today.
You might wonder
Does it take jobs from locals?
Most offshore roles are ones businesses can’t fill at home, and the savings help companies grow there.
You might wonder
Do serious companies do this?
Yes. It’s been mainstream since the 1980s, and it’s still growing.

FAQ
Offshore outsourcing, answered.
It isn’t for everyone, but it’s worth a look. Most businesses find work they didn’t realize could be handed off. A 10-minute call with our team will tell you quickly whether it fits.
Setup varies by business, but cloud tools have made it far faster and cheaper than it used to be. The closer you work with your partner, the smoother it goes.
It starts with a clear agreement on scope, expectations, and costs. From there you set targets, check in, and manage the work day to day, just like your local team.
With Remote Employee®, you choose who’s hired and direct their work yourself. And with no long-term contracts, you’re never stuck.
That’s the ideal setup. Treat them as one team with one voice. Time zones take a little planning, but shared tools make working together easy.
Background checks on every employee, strong physical and network security, and compliance with your country’s rules. Every Remote Employee® hire passes background and medical checks and works from our Class-A secured offices.
