A little more than a year ago, we were flying off for vacations and conferences in different parts of the world. And then COVID-19 happened, everything changed. To say that we were unprepared is an understatement. With much of the world on lockdown, we scrambled to adjust to the New Normal. We relied heavily on […]
Most of us have already adjusted to the WFH set-up. We get up, prepare a cup of coffee, and then clock in for work. In the new normal, you don’t need to leave the house to start the day. But just because people can work from home doesn’t mean everyone will be allowed to. There […]
Technology and innovation has made the world smaller. Neighboring countries also continue to strengthen bilateral engagements, hence the PH-AU Friendship Day between our two countries. The Philippines and Australia have had a longstanding friendship. It’s chiefly strengthened by cultural and educational exchanges. Every year, hundreds of talented Filipino students receive scholarships from the AU government, […]
The longer hours you work, the more productive you are. Or at least that’s what we thought when we worked 60 to 80 hours a week pre-pandemic. Some even take it to the extreme and work 100 hours(!), leaving little to no time for other activities. The hustle (and the accompanying stress levels) just never […]
Global pandemic or no, remote work is here to stay. If you’ve been following our blog or availing of our services for quite some time now, you’re well aware of the benefits of remote work. And now, the rest of the world has pretty much caught on. 2020 forced many companies the world over to […]
Yep, you read that right. The professional networking giant is giving its employees the whole week off starting 5 April. Why? It’s simple. The company seeks to give its full-time employees time to unplug and to avoid burning out. “We wanted to make sure we could give them something really valuable.” That’s how Teuila Hanson, […]
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. […]
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 […]
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.
