In the current economy, finding, retaining, and affording skilled talent locally can be a significant challenge for businesses. While some companies may hesitate to explore offshore staffing, Outsourced is helping to change those perceptions by offering skilled professionals, premium facilities, ISO certification, and a workplace culture recognized for its high retention rate.

The Philippines-based company builds dedicated full-time teams for clients, setting it apart from competitors by providing flexible, transparent, and customized offshore staffing solutions without the need for long-term contracts.

Of course, Outsourced also ensures legal compliance and provides clients with full control.

A Cost-Saving Solution

CEO and Founder Mike Larcher had the idea for Outsourced while running an Australia-based digital agency in 2012. Realizing the challenges of finding and retaining talent locally, he decided to explore the Philippines, where he could reduce labor costs compared to hiring locally.

Larcher said, “I was able to achieve significant cost savings compared to hiring locally, and with this buying power, I was able to attract and retain highly skilled professionals in the Philippines.”

How Is Outsourced Different?

Outsourced is an ISO-certified offshore staffing company, which adds credibility to the services it offers. When it comes to offshore staffing, many people typically think of call centers or virtual assistant services.

However, when companies hire staff through Outsourced, they access skilled professionals in various fields, including IT, CX, creative, marketing, admin, professional services, finance, education, healthcare, and engineering.

Outsourced’s business model is focused on building dedicated full-time offshore teams for clients, providing skilled professionals such as web developers, graphic designers, marketers, network engineers, architects, and others.

The company has over a decade of experience with more than 1,000 employees, positioning Outsourced as a trusted partner for offshore staffing in the Philippines, particularly for companies in the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.

Keeping Employees Happy

Outsourced strives to keep its employees as happy as the brands it serves by offering state-of-the-art facilities, comprehensive support teams, and a commitment to ethical staff treatment. By September 2024, the company was recognized as one of HR Asia’s Best Companies to Work for in Asia.

The company’s high staff retention rate reflects its positive work culture, which is further backed up by its Great Place to Work® certification. Larcher emphasizes that Outsourced is committed to employee happiness, wellness, and fostering a thriving workplace culture.

A Decade of Significant Growth

Outsourced has grown from a single employee in 2012 to over 1,000 employees, and Larcher hopes this growth continues in the coming years.

He said, “Our vision is to be recognized internationally for delivering high-quality offshore staffing solutions. We aim to expand to over 3,000 staff by 2028.”

In 2017, Outsourced achieved PEZA accreditation and obtained ISO certifications for Quality Management Systems and Information Security Management Systems in 2018. In 2024, Outsourced expanded beyond the Philippines, acquiring Double Yolk and extending services into India.
