Outwork Staffing

Hire a Software Engineer in the Philippines

You don't pay if we don't hire

Grow Your Engineering Team Without Blowing the Budget

Good engineers are hard to find and expensive to hire locally. Product roadmaps slip, bugs pile up and your existing team ends up stretched.

Outwork Staffing connects you with full-time Software Engineers in the Philippines who join your team and work in your codebase. They use your tools, follow your workflow and report directly to you.

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

We also help businesses hire Web Developers, Web Designers and Customer Support Specialists.

What Business Owners Are Saying

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 
Head of Operations - The Church Co 

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.

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.
