Jed gets my philosophy in customer service. And he embraces it. There’s a few things he had to learn. There’s a few mistakes. 99.9% of the time it’s never spoken of again or heard of again because it’s not committed again. If I knew someone who is looking for someone, I would definitely recommend you [Remote Staff].
We engaged in Remote Staff because we find that the candidates and the contractors from Remote Staff we bring onboard are very very efficient and helpful. We do appreciate what they’re doing. The quality of candidates, they have experience working with Australian companies. On day one, they speak our lingo. They understand what we need. And we’re able to communicate effectively.
I’m happy that I’ve gone directly to Remote Staff. I got what I wanted. It wasn’t done overnight. We need to get the right person. Not just someone for the sake of getting someone. I absolutely recommend Remote Staff for the people who are considering it for their staff requirements.
I would recommend Remote staff. You know location-wise, especially timewise, it’s very handy being almost aligned in timezones. The type of customers that Kevin [Contractor] has already worked with are the kind of customers that we have.
Daryl [Remote Subcontractor] is great! We’re really happy with Daryl. He is proactive. Jumps on everything really fast. Yes, it has worked out really well.The people have been good so far. You hired well. And they communicate well. If there’s any issues, I guess my account manager, you’re always available when I need you. So far so good. I would recommend you to others.
Remote Staff is our go-to for all staffing needs. Our digital marketing agency was in need of an additional web developer and I was so happy to find Remote Staff. From the seamless navigation on their website to the recorded voices of each web developer and extensive, detailed resumes, I immediately reached out to the company. This is the only recruitment firm I’ve dealt with that’s professional across the board. No matter who you are dealing with, everyone holds a high level of customer service, integrity and professionalism. They are so responsive and far surpassed our expectations with their follow-ups, check-ins and most importantly, they are very experienced recruiters. Their recruitment process is so thorough from beginning to end with detailed behavioral questionnaires to pinpoint what you’re looking for. We’ve grown and now have 3 amazing web developers on our team, all thanks to Remote Staff. Almira and Zion are the best!
It almost felt too good to be true in the sense that I had that initial meeting. We signed up. Within literally 24 hours, I had legitimate resumes in my inbox that I was able to read and view. I placed a candidate, still with us, one of our first remote subcontractors from Remote Staff.
Why do I work with Filipinos? The biggest thing with Filipinos: they are very very good workers. They are very honest, and they are honorable.
I really feel taken care of when I speak to Patricia [my account manager]. It’s really great to have that contact person that can go across whether for staff or internal that can assist with that.
What I like about the Remote Staff experience is that people we deal with are responsible for sourcing the candidates, manage the interview process, onboarding and the ongoing account management. That process for me is quite good.
Engaging Remote Staff is easy. Getting candidates doesn’t take too long. I found the screening process or Remote Staff to be great. From there, you have a direct line to the team. I have full control. And that’s really something that’s important.
It’s been a positive experience. To have 2 employees that worked out straight off the bat, is really beneficial to us. We do actually intend on getting more Remote Staff in the future. So yeah, we’ll be using the service again.
