Given how topsy turvy the world has gotten over the past year (and still is, actually), it seems rather strange to celebrate April Fool’s Day. If anything, it feels like we’ve been stuck in a perverse cycle all year, Groundhog Day style (but with a Black Mirror twist. Ugh).
On the other hand, there’s nothing like a few good-natured office pranks to boost people’s spirits. Done right, they can even help lift morale and foster camaraderie.
By the time this article is published, Easter will be just a few days away. You’ve probably already set up your business’ Easter campaigns by now. (Or if not, there’s still time to get a few things done.) So, all that’s left is to get your own Easter celebrations going, yeah? And nothing says Easter […]
We’re well into International Women’s Month as I write this. Thus, it’s only natural for us to have a feature celebrating all the brilliant, amazing female entrepreneurs Down Under. However, the following list won’t feature the usual heavyweights like Gina Rinehart or even Melanie Perkins (who’s half-Filipino, btw, but I digress). Don’t get me wrong. […]
Anyone who’s ever worked with Filipino remote talent would tell you that they’re generally a very hardworking bunch. To provide for their families, they often work through sickness, inconvenience, and on several holidays. So, while their office-bound counterparts typically get local non-working holidays off, remote workers are still grinding away. Most foreign clients don’t recognize […]
Holidays are always a great opportunity for small businesses to promote their goods and services. Done well and consistently enough, holiday promotions can also cultivate a loyal following among your customers. Why do you think social media practically explodes with promotions on, say, Chinese New Year or Valentine’s Day? And now, Easter’s right around the […]
The other day, we talked about a handful of Australia’s most environmentally friendly start-ups. Today, let’s talk about how remote working benefits the environment. Most of us have been working from home for over a year now. While it’s not without its challenges, I honestly can’t imagine going back to the alternative, even after the […]
A month ago, the social media giant shocked Australia (and the world) when it imposed a news ban in the country. The move was a response to the AU government’s upcoming legislation requiring Facebook and Google to compensate publishers for news articles published on their platforms. The result? A sudden media blackout that affected not […]
Australia is one of the most biologically diverse countries on the planet. It’s home to some of the most interesting species of flora and fauna, and the variety of wildlife that abound is breathtaking. I mean, come on, where else would Steve Irwin have become such an icon? Best of all, many conscientious travelers are […]
It almost sounds like a frightful term, but it’s more common than you think. In fact, you may have been unconsciously doing this for quite some time. Heck, I know I have (and still do on most days). So, what exactly is revenge procrastination? Most importantly, how can we stop doing it? Revenge Procrastination: What […]
For me, the answer is a resounding “no.” Make no mistake. I value my college education. In the Philippines, it’s a tremendous privilege to attend a prestigious university. Apart from the top-notch facilities and professors, you also get to form a network of friends and acquaintances that could prove useful later on. Then there’s the […]
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.
