Last week, we talked about how to effectively manage your Filipino staff. Today, we’ll talk about something very similar. Thanks to globalization and technology, even SME’s can partner with their counterparts abroad. Hence, some Australian businesses who decide to explore ventures with Filipino companies, for instance, often do so with great results. However, as with […]
With its year-round tropical weather, countless beautiful beaches, and friendly locals, the Pearl of the Southeast is a very attractive retirement location for many Westerners.
Let’s not even talk about how much farther your $$$’s will go here. Currently, 1 Australian dollar equals 34.79 Philippine pesos. Furthermore, InternationalLiving.com estimates that you only need USD1,525 (about AUD2,180) monthly to live comfortably.
We’re talking about a fairly big house or apartment, more than enough food, and staff. Heck, one dude on a Reddit thread once said that he lives like a king in the Philippines. For under Php60,000 or around AUD1,723 monthly, he could hire a maid, a cook, and a driver. Wicked.
But before you start planning for retirement in the Philippines, there is one other thing to consider. We’re referring to where you’ll live.
If you’ve been hanging around our blog for a while, you’re probably familiar with what we do. Then again, outsourcing to the Philippines has been a hot topic for quite some time now, so it doesn’t really need much of an introduction. So, today is all about taking things a step further. We’re talking about […]
The battle for your customers’ palates (and wallets) is now online. Unsure about how to proceed? A Virtual Assistant can help you out! Virtual assistants aren’t just for answering your calls and emails or organizing your schedule. The right ones can even help you get your business up and running online! So, without further ado, […]
Last time, we discussed the possible WHY’s behind outsourcing. Today, we will discuss the WHAT, specifically what roles you should outsource. Sure, we’d like to keep jobs within Australia, especially now, what with the prospect of an economic collapse before us. However, not all businesses can afford to pay local rates at the moment, and […]
So far, we’ve talked about prepping for a remote team. Are there tasks you need to outsource? Check. Is your mindset ready for managing remote workers? Check. But before you can start assigning responsibilities, you need to form your remote team first. Now, this is an important first step. Sure, there are a lot of […]
Do you feel like the world’s gone topsy-turvy in the past two months? Well, you’re not alone. It’s no surprise that 2020’s been off to a rough start. We thought the wildfires were bad, but now it seems like the world is just one big dumpster fire. Covid-19 took us all by surprise, and as […]
I never thought I’d live to see the day when people actually fought over toilet paper, but here we are. To be fair, we are living in unprecedented times. There’s a worldwide quarantine in place and an invisible enemy has brought even the wealthiest and most powerful countries to their knees. Heck, daily life feels […]
By now, much of the world is under some form of a quarantine. Many schools and offices have ceased regular operations and have sent their students and employees home in order to stop the spread of the covid-19 virus. So, unless you are a frontliner at the hospitals (thank you for your service!!!!!), the best […]
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.
