Common Concerns (And Why They're Not Problems)

"What if they're not good enough?"

That's what trial tasks are for! You'll know within a few samples which talent is the best fit. There's a clear quality difference in a trial between a good and bad worker.

"What if they disappear?"

Professional Filipino workers value long-term relationships. Our platform tracks communication and work history, so you can see reliability patterns before hiring (if a previous employer has left a review).

"What if I can't communicate clearly?"

Filipino workers typically have excellent written English skills. Start with simple, written instructions and build from there. If a role isn't voice-facing, you shouldn't always expect a Filipino talent to be able to communicate perfectly over the phone.

"What if it's too expensive?"

Start small! Even 10 hours per week at $6/hour is only $240/month. Compare that to the value of your time - most employers save 10+ hours per week. Every single method of on shore or local hiring is more expensive, so if this cost is too much, it may not be a good fit for you.

"What if I don't have enough work?"

You'd be surprised! Most employers discover new tasks they can delegate. Start with 1-2 tasks and you'll quickly find more ways your worker can help. A great hire will always be learning and growing, so you'll always have more work for them.

"What about time zones?"

You can have them work the hours you need them to work. If you need them to work 9-5, you can have them work 9-5. If you need them to work 12-8, you can. Some roles might not require them to have overlapping hours with you, so keep that in mind. A great candidate may only be able to work in their own time.
