Outwork Staffing

Hire a Customer Support Specialist in the Philippines

You don't pay if we don't hire

Fast, Friendly Support for Your Customers and Users

When customers need help with your product, they expect a quick and clear answer. Slow replies lead to bad reviews, refunds and lost customers, but building a local support team is expensive.

Outwork Staffing connects you with full-time Customer Support Specialists in the Philippines who learn your product inside out. They handle tickets, troubleshoot problems and know when to pass an issue to your team.

Most businesses save 70 to 90% compared to a local hire, and you only pay our recruitment fee once we place someone you are happy with.

We also help businesses hire Customer Service Representatives, Virtual Assistants and Software Engineers.

I would absolutely recommend Outwork Staffing to anyone that is looking to hire! I have used other agencies to hire staff in the past and I can honestly say that Outwork is a step above. From the quality of the candidates that they chose for me, to the ease of the hiring process, it was a pleasure working with them.

Nikki Nelson

Outwork was incredibly quick and kind in both how they interacted with my team and with our potential candidates. They had personal connections with candidates and were able to provide pre-vetted hires where they could speak to the character of each person. If you are looking to hire some great folks in areas like the Philippines, Outwork will be one of the fastest and most thoughtful groups to be able to do that.

Case Study: Agencies

Creative agency hires 3 full-time Senior Designers at $900/m.

Needing to scale with demand, The Church Co was able to scale their web team to three full-time contractors. What typically cost them $60,000 per year per contractor  now only costs $10,800. Saving them $147,600 a year.

Case Study: Virtual Assistant

Micah's small business was scaling up and he needed someone to manage order fulfillment from his online store. Outwork Staffing found and vetted a virtual assistant with e-commerce experience to take that off his plate letting him focus on growing the business not working in it.
