Many companies have become aware of how difficult it is to find local talent, let alone afford it. Even if they decide to hire locally, it is uncertain whether their new hire can be retained for the long term. Offshore staffing has consistently presented an effective alternative for businesses facing this issue.
Outsourced is a premium, International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-certified offshore staffing company based in the Philippines. The company’s Philippines outsourcing provides access to the top 5% of talent, premium facilities, and an award-winning culture with a 98% retention rate. Above all else, the company specializes in building dedicated, full-time client teams.
Founding Outsourced
Outsourced’s story begins not in the Philippines but in Australia, where Mike Larcher had grown frustrated with maintaining a digital agency.
“In 2012, while running a digital agency, I was unable to find and retain leading talent in Australia—so I looked to the Philippines,” Mike said. “I was able to save 75% on salaries compared to hiring locally and with this buying power was able to attract and retain the top 5% of talent in the Philippines.”
From a Single Employee to a Thousand
Mike initially founded Outsourced with a single employee in 2012, and the company has since expanded its offshore outsourcing operations by increasing its team size and opening new offices throughout the Philippines. In 2017, the company earned Philippine Economic Zone Authority accreditation and obtained ISO certifications for quality and information security management systems in 2018.
In 2024 alone, Outsourced reached 1000 team members, acquired Double Yolk to expand services into India, was recognized as one of HR Asia’s Best Companies to Work for in Asia, and earned Great Place to Work® certification. The company is just as committed to reinforcing staff happiness, wellness, and workplace culture as it is to supporting business growth abroad.
