Australian founders and small businesses, hiring offshore properly
With Outstaffer, you're getting really top quality tech talent that's much more affordable.
“I’d say that’s one of the best business decisions I ever made.”
“Our Philippines staff were not only recruited by Outstaffer in record time, they also handled the hiring and onboarding.”
“We are happy with the recruitment process, customer onboarding and support we get from Outstaffer.”
The usual ways to hire offshore, side by side
Agencies keep a monthly margin on your staff. A direct contractor is cheap until the compliance questions start. We sit in between: transparent fees, and your hire is a proper employee.

Questions we get on every call
Are they employees or contractors?
Employees. Outstaffer employs your hire on a compliant local contract and pays the statutory entitlements: 13th month pay, SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG. You direct the work day to day.
What does the recruitment fee cover?
The full search: advertising, an interview for every applicant, recruiter review and a shortlist. It’s one fixed fee per role, not a percentage of salary, and you can pay a deposit up front, or nothing until you hire for a higher total fee. Prices are on our pricing page.
Which countries can I hire from?
Most clients hire in the Philippines. We also employ in Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and India, and in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore for businesses based outside that country.
Do I pay Australian super?
No. Your hire is employed in their own country, so its statutory contributions apply instead, and they are already in your monthly cost.
What if the hire doesn’t work out?
If we found them, we find you a replacement. The guarantee is 6 months when they’re employed through Outstaffer EOR, and 3 months if you employ them yourself. If you choose to include the recruitment in a monthly plan when you hire, replacements are unlimited while the plan is active.
Can I employ someone I’ve already found?
Yes. We can employ them for you through our Employer of Record plan, with no recruitment fee. Monthly prices are on our pricing page.
How do I pay?
One monthly invoice in AUD covering payroll and your Outstaffer plan. No separate bank transfers to staff.
