How Much You Save by Role
We put a local U.S. hire next to an offshore hire in the Philippines and counted every cost in year one, from pay to hiring.
The U.S. side adds median pay, benefits and payroll taxes, and recruiting. The offshore side adds your hire's pay for 2,080 hours, our $1,000 monthly fee, and the $1,000 one-time engagement fee.
Estimates only. U.S. figures use BLS median pay plus benefits and hiring costs. Offshore figures are based on our current rates for mid-level Filipino hires. Entry-level costs less, senior costs more. Exact figures on your call.
What Your Monthly Fee Covers
Your hire's pay and our fee are separate, so you see both and can check the pay against the market.

Compare Your Hiring Options Side by Side
Each model solves a different part of hiring. Look at what you get before the hire and after your hire starts.
This is a general guide to common models, not named providers. Terms vary, so ask each one how it charges, what your hire receives, and what happens after the start.
What Moves Your Hire's Pay
Your hire's pay depends on six things. Our fee stays the same: $1,000 a month per full-time hire.
- 01
The Role
Skilled work, like accounting or media buying, pays more than support work.
- 02
The Level
Junior hires earn less. Senior hires with deep experience often earn more.
- 03
The Market
Pay tracks demand for each skill. We benchmark it with you first.
- 04
The Schedule
Night shifts that cover U.S. hours can raise pay for some roles.
- 05
The Tools
Deep know-how in QuickBooks, Shopify, or Meta Ads can add to pay.
- 06
The Scope
A job with many duties often pays more than one focused task.
Protect Your Savings After the Hire
The hourly rate is only one line. These four costs can eat into your savings if no one plans for them.
Failed Hires
A poor match means a new search, new interviews, and new onboarding.
Your Time
Screening, payroll, and daily questions can pull you away from growth work.
Weak Onboarding
Without a clear plan, new hires take longer to own their work.
Lost Context
Each departure takes what your hire knew, so you train from scratch.
We vet every candidate for your role. Each hire starts with a 30 to 90 day onboarding plan. You also get 1 free replacement over the first 12 months.
Offshore Staffing Cost Questions, Answered
How much does offshore staffing cost?

How much can I save with an offshore hire?
It depends on the role. In year one, an offshore bookkeeper saves $48,205, a video editor saves $79,495, and a supply chain analyst saves $86,175 next to a local hire. These totals count pay, benefits, taxes, recruiting, and our fees. You get exact figures on your call.
How much will my Filipino hire's pay be?
Pay for the hires we place runs from about $8 to $20/hour, depending on the role. Support roles pay less, and accounting and manager roles pay more. Entry-level hires cost less, and senior hires cost more. We help you benchmark pay before the search begins.
What if my offshore hire is not the right fit?
Every hire comes with 1 free replacement over the first 12 months. It is part of what your $1,000 monthly fee covers, not an extra charge. We also put fit before speed. Each candidate is vetted for your role, and you make the final call on every hire.
