Understanding Your Relationship with HireTalent.ph Workers
By: Justin G
Last updated: November 5, 2024
Let’s clarify the relationship between employers, workers, and HireTalent.ph to avoid any confusion about who you’re actually hiring when you find talent through our platform.
The Simple Truth
HireTalent.ph is a platform that connects employers with Filipino virtual assistants – nothing more, nothing less. Think of us like LinkedIn or Indeed, but specialized for Filipino virtual talent. We don’t employ the workers you’ll find on our site; we simply provide the space where talented professionals and businesses can find each other.
How It Actually Works
When you discover a VA on our platform, you’re connecting directly with an independent professional. Here’s what that means:
You’re hiring them, not us. When you find someone you want to work with, you’re establishing a direct relationship with that person. They’re not HireTalent.ph employees – they’re independent contractors who use our platform to showcase their skills and find opportunities.
Direct Relationships
This direct connection means:
- You communicate directly with your VA
- You establish your own work arrangements
- You pay them directly
- You set your own terms and conditions
- You manage the working relationship
An Example
Let’s say you find Maria, a social media specialist, on HireTalent.ph. When you hire Maria:
- Your agreement is with her, not with us
- You’ll pay her directly, not through us
- She works for you, not for HireTalent.ph
- Any issues or concerns are handled between you and her
Our Role
HireTalent.ph serves as:
- A job board where employers can post opportunities
- A platform where VAs can showcase their skills
- A space for initial connections to be made
- A resource for both parties to find each other
We don’t:
- Employ the workers
- Manage their work
- Handle payments
- Mediate disputes (at the moment)
- Control working arrangements
Why This Matters
Understanding this relationship is important because:
- You have direct control over who you hire
- You can establish your own working terms
- You’re building a direct relationship with your VA
- You’re not dealing with a middleman
- You can communicate and negotiate directly
The Benefits
This direct relationship model offers several advantages:
- Lower costs (no middleman fees)
- Direct communication
- Flexibility in arrangements
- Personal relationship building
- Clear lines of responsibility
Moving Forward
When you’re ready to hire:
- Connect directly with potential VAs
- Establish your own terms
- Create your own agreements
- Set up direct payment arrangements
- Build your working relationship
Remember: You’re hiring an independent professional who has chosen to list their services on our platform. We simply help you find each other.
HireTalent.ph is proud to serve as a connection point between talented Filipino professionals and businesses worldwide. While we’re always here to help facilitate these connections, the working relationships you establish are yours to build and maintain.
Understanding this direct nature of the relationship helps both parties set clear expectations and build strong, lasting professional partnerships. We’re just happy to be the platform that helps make these connections possible.
Think of us as the introduction service, not the employer. Once you’ve found your ideal VA through our platform, the relationship is yours to develop and nurture directly with them.
