Why direct hiring can be worth it
Hiring direct can remove an ongoing staffing-company markup and give you a direct working relationship with the person doing the job. The tradeoff is that somebody still has to define the role, write the listing, find candidates, screen applications, check communication, test skills, interview finalists, and decide what a fair rate looks like.
OutsourcedTalent is built around that tradeoff. Do the work yourself with the playbooks, get targeted advice, or pay a one-time Sourcing & Vetting Fee and let us run the search.
Three ways to use OutsourcedTalent
DIY Playbooks
You have time to run the search yourself
Free role guides, rate data, country comparisons, job-post templates, and hiring frameworks.
Advisory
You need direction before you hire
A 60-minute strategy call for $247 or a three-call setup package for $647.
You know you need the hire but do not want to run the search
Sourcing, screening, role-relevant assessments, an initial interview, and typically 3 to 5 qualified candidates. Introductory fees start at $497.
Built inside real operating businesses
OutsourcedTalent did not start as a recruiting theory project. The approach grew out of building and managing lean remote teams inside operating businesses, including NewStar SEO.
That gives us especially strong subject-matter context when evaluating SEO, AI visibility, social media, email marketing, Google Ads, CRM, and other digital-marketing roles, while still supporting general VA, admin, operations, and technical hiring.
A sourcing platform I keep coming back to
OnlineJobs.ph deserves genuine prominence here. I have used it for years with excellent results, and it remains one of the first places I look when a role is a strong fit for Filipino remote talent.
The Tools We Use page explains where different sourcing platforms fit and where a recommendation is based on firsthand experience rather than affiliate economics.
