6 -Month Replacement Guarantee
Leverage a wealth of experience
Landing in Manila in 2009, our founder built and exited a 200-person BPO. He then launched a work-from-home staff leasing firm, selling that in 2023. Now, having served over 800 global clients & having hired 1,000+ Filipino staff, he is now compressing 16 years of experience into a seamless hiring process aimed at connecting Aussie businesses directly with talented & vetted Filipino staff
Pre-screened work-from-home talent
With over 16 years of experience screening, interviewing, testing and certifying top Philippines talent, our executive team has developed a winning formula for spotting and placing talent into SMEs, with many staying 5+ years in the role.
By accessing work-from-home talent, you gain access to talent from across the country, and are not limited to a single geographic location.
Highly selective, premium candidates
Not every Filipino is suitable to work remotely for an Australian company, and not every Australian company is ready to take on Filipino remote employees.
As a low volume boutique recruitment firm, we focus on high-impact roles and the top 10% of the talent pool within those roles. It is our firm belief that only the top 20% will successfully integrate into an Australian small to medium business. With cost savings still ranging from 65-80%, hiring within that top 20% provides significantly more long term value when considering training timelines, on-the-job efficiency & communication.
Let’s look at a specific example that will resonate with most Australian’s. An inbound contact centre agent could be hired for 35,000php ($900+) / month. This may result in long call resolution times and frustrated customers. Alternatively, you could hire a top 5% agent with significant Australian experience, for 55,000php (AUD$1450) / month, and halve your ticket resolution time (therefore decreasing your cost pre resolved ticket) while creating raving fans of your customer base.
This is the ethos we apply to every role.

With a suite of pre-built core roles, why would we wait for you to contact us before we start screening and vetting candidates?
In some cases, for the more standard roles, we may have some candidates screen, certified and ready to be interviewed within 24 hours of our being engaged. Over the last 16 years, the executive team has created and refined job descriptions, assessments, interview questions & more, to develop a hiring formula that ensures there are always candidates available for the roles we offer.
With core roles in Marketing & Sales, Finance & Accounting, Ops and CX, and now with emerging roles in AI & machine learning, we have just about every SME role covered. If you are seeking a candidate outside these roles, we can definitely help, by applying the same methodology.
Whether you have pre-existing screening & assessments for your roles, or would like Get Staffed to source and implement custom screening, we have you covered.
Candidates can go through several rounds of assessments / quizzes, followed by 1-way video interviews, then followed up with 2-way interviews with the recruitment team and then finally the founder. No single candidate is placed with an Australian client unless they have been personally interviewed by our Australian founder
