Our Clients

What Clients Say

Trusted by growing businesses.

“

Kasama took our admin and bookings off our plate within weeks. It's like they've always been part of the team.

Mark, Beaulife
“

The quality of hire genuinely surprised us. Our placement understands our business better than some local staff we've had.

Sam, Waypoint
“

We were sceptical about offshoring, but the process was straightforward and the savings were real from month one.

Tom, Nav Rentals
“

Same time zone, same working hours, none of the headaches we expected. Kasama made it easy.

Kate, Natural Instinct Well-Being

The Case For Offshore

Get back time, money
and focus.

The Challenge

  • Hiring costs keep climbing year on year
  • The right local talent simply isn't available
  • Your team is buried in admin, not strategy

The Payoff

  • Scale without blowing out your wage bill
  • Access skilled professionals in the Philippines
  • Free your team for the work that matters

Most clients save $50,000 to $65,000 a year, per placement.

Compared to an equivalent Australian hire: salary, super, payroll tax and overheads combined.

One Market

Why the Philippines?

Everything your business needs, aligned to how you already work.

English Proficiency

One of the most English-proficient nations in Asia, tested not assumed.

AEST Time Zone

Full Australian business hours by default, from day one.

Fully Employed

Every placement is a real, locally and legally employed team member, not a gig contractor.

Your team member, exclusively. Not shared across clients, not rotated.

Employer Of Record

Legally employed.
Fully protected.

Offshore hiring done properly. Every Kasama placement is legally employed in the Philippines through a Philippine-registered Employer of Record, never engaged as an informal contractor.

Lawful local employment

Filipino professionals must be employed locally to receive their full statutory entitlements. Every Kasama placement is.

Full entitlements, always

Statutory contributions, 13th-month pay, annual leave, sick leave and public holidays are all covered.

Employment risk stays offshore

Employment obligations, including Fair Work exposure, sit with the Employer of Record, not your business.

Privacy & data trained

Every placement completes Australian Privacy Principles and cybersecurity awareness training before day one.

This is how offshore hiring is meant to be done, and we'll happily walk you through the structure on a call. Book one here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions, answered.

How does the Kasama model actually work?+

Kasama recruits your team member and manages the relationship with you. Your team member is legally employed in the Philippines through our Philippine-registered Employer of Record, which handles payroll, entitlements and compliance.

Is hiring offshore like this actually legal?+

Yes, when it's structured properly. Your team member is legally employed in the Philippines by a registered Employer of Record and receives full local entitlements. Informal "direct contractor" arrangements are where businesses get into trouble; the Employer of Record structure exists precisely to avoid that.

What happens if a placement doesn't work out?+

We run a structured review before any exit or replacement decision. If it doesn't work out within the first 3 months, we'll run a replacement search for you at no additional recruitment fee.

Are placements employees or contractors?+

Fully employed. Our Philippine-registered Employer of Record holds every employment contract and manages all mandatory entitlements: leave, statutory contributions and public holidays included.

Will hiring offshore affect the quality of who we get?+

Every candidate is personally interviewed by a Kasama partner before you ever see their name, and sits a separate comprehension test, because fluency alone doesn't tell us if someone can do the job. We also require a minimum of two years' corporate experience, and pay above the Philippine market median, because pay is what drives retention and quality of hire.

What support do we get once the placement starts?+

You get a dedicated, Australia-based Kasama contact for the life of the engagement, with structured check-ins on Day 1, at one week, and again at one month. There's a clear escalation path if anything isn't working as expected, and a defined performance improvement process if it's needed.

How is confidentiality and data security handled?+

Confidentiality obligations are built into every employment contract, and NDAs are available on request for anything specific to your business. Every placement completes cybersecurity awareness training and is trained in the Australian Privacy Principles before their first day.

How long does it take to hire?+

Most placements go from first call to Monday start in around five weeks.
