I'm Justin and I've worked with hundreds of online workers in the Philippines over the last few years. Out of every single application, vetting, hiring, and training process – there have really only been a few gems. Talent falls short if you don't make the right hire (which is hard enough to do by yourself). Want it done for you? Hire an agency. But then you lose the affordability aspect. Pay 6 months of salary for the *chance* somebody is vetted by an agency? Not worth it to me.
But why is it so complicated?
Nobody is able to guarantee both your time and money. You sacrifice one for the other.
We've done it all. Gone through popular online job boards, niche custom project websites, and all the websites that focus specifically on the Philippines. They don't work well. Something always falls short.
You either spend most of your time vetting workers or paying extraordinary finder fees. Why should you have to sacrifice either of these? One of the main benefits of hiring in the Philippines is affordability, and that shouldn't come with a quality sacrifice. You can get both.
Quite frankly, if done correctly, hiring talent in the Philippines is the best decision you'll ever make for your company.
