Outshore

Outshore recruits virtual staff in the Philippines for Australian business owners, managers, founders and entrepreneurs. The roles it fills include web developers, digital marketing managers, lead generation specialists, customer service representatives, bookkeepers, accountants and virtual assistants. It also lists content writers, graphic designers, social media managers, tech support, SEO and ads specialists, executive assistants and paralegal support.

Clients choose part-time or full-time dedicated staff, with a minimum of 20 hours per week. Outshore's recruitment specialists help clients interview candidates, and once a hire is made the company says it handles HR, payroll and time-keeping. Clients pay only for hours actually worked, and entry-level rates begin at $7 per hour. The company says clients can save up to 80% on salary costs compared with hiring Australian staff.

The head office is in Australia, at Spring Hill, Queensland, with a team of recruiters and BPO specialists based in the Philippines.
