About Deployed

We're taking businesses further with offshore hiring

We’re helping businesses expand and thrive in today’s tough market.

Since 2013, we have been leveraging the power of Manila’s strong talent pool to grow our business’ potential. At the time, we were balancing the resources of a growing business with the limits of domestic hiring. We developed relationships in Manila from the ground up to source and support the best local talent, learning how to navigate cultural and communication differences.

About Deployed

The results from developing our offshore team have been monumental – and in 2014, we decided to use our expertise to help other businesses deploy offshore staff and gain a competitive edge in their industries.

We understand that businesses need holistic support to effectively navigate the complexities of recruiting, onboarding and retaining offshore team members. Deployed bridges these gaps, building a continuous value chain between our people and our clients.

We emphasise proactive communication and a culturally-balanced approach to support long term attrition and value. Offering full-time, permanent positions to locals means that we can source the most experienced professionals across all industries.
