You Don’t Need to be a Big Company to Hire in the Philippines

Small businesses are building high-performing teams in the Philippines — no legal team or payroll required.
Teresa Beechey

Most people think hiring overseas is something only big companies do. Call centers. BPO contracts. Corporate HR departments. All that red tape.

But that’s outdated thinking.

Today, small businesses are building lean, high-performing teams in the Philippines — without needing a legal team, local office, or payroll department. And yeah, it works. Really well.

So what’s the real story?

Hiring in the Philippines is:

  • Simple
  • Cost-effective
  • Packed with high-quality talent

And it’s 100% accessible to small business owners. Founders like you. Not just the corporates with 300-person headcounts.

You don’t need to register a company

You don’t need to run payroll.

You don’t need to know international tax law.

You just need a role to fill — and someone who can help you find the right person. (Hi, that’s us.)

What's the upside?

For around $900/month, you can hire someone full-time who:

  • Speaks fluent English
  • Brings serious skills across marketing, admin, customer service, and more
  • Fits right in — Western-influenced work culture, zero weird vibes

And it costs up to 80% less than hiring locally.

What kind of roles can you hire for?

We’ve helped clients hire:

  • Executive assistants
  • Bookkeepers
  • Customer service reps
  • Designers
  • Marketing assistants
  • Sales & lead gen
  • Developers
  • Project and operations managers
  • CAD Draftspersons
  • Quote Coordinators
  • …and much more

Most start with one hire. Then come back for more.

How it works

Step 1. Tell us what role you need to fill.

Step 2. We screen, test, and vet candidates (English + aptitude).

Step 3. We send you the best of the bunch.

Step 4. You pick your favourite, and they start.

You hire them directly — no complex payroll, no legal entities.
We guide you through a simple onboarding setup, and you're off.
Paying them? Just as easy. Tools like Wise handle international transfers. Takes 2 minutes.

What does it cost?

We charge a one-time recruitment fee between 25–35% of the candidate’s annual salary, depending on how many hires you’re making.

No retainers. No subscriptions. No ongoing costs.

Just one fee — and the hire is yours.

And because salaries are up to 80% less than local hires, you’ll earn back the fee in savings within the first month.

Final thought

You don’t need to be a big company to hire amazing full-time remote talent in the Philippines.

You just need to know it’s possible — and have someone who knows how to do it right.
