Founders running lean teams who want to stop doing backend admin themselves and don't have time to screen overseas candidates. Not for people hiring to avoid work, seeking the absolute cheapest rates, or wanting part-time help.

Talented | Hire Top 1% Overseas Operations Talent

Q: What exactly does Talented do?

We find founders long-term, full-time admin talent from the Philippines. We run a custom hiring campaign, put candidates through our 4-Level Vetting Protocol, and present only the top 1–3 options matched to your role.

Q: How much does it cost?

A one-time placement investment starting at $2,000, depending on role complexity and value. You only pay if you hire (after a refundable deposit to start). No monthly subscription on our end.

Q: How long does the process take?

We deliver a shortlist of 2–3 pre-vetted candidates within 14 days, including interviews.

Q: What roles do you hire for?

We recruit based on your needs. Recent placements include Executive Assistant, Admin Support, Client Success, Product Research, Purchasing/Inventory, PPC Specialist, A+ Content Designer, Operations Manager, and more.

Q: What salary are they expecting?

Comp depends on role and experience. Typical full-time contractor salaries range from $800–$2,000 per month for hires from the Philippines.

Q: Do they speak English?

Yes. English is part of the education system in the Philippines, and we screen communication skills as a non-negotiable in our process.

Q: What if it doesn't work out?

We offer a 30-day guarantee. If it's not working in the first 30 days, choose a full refund or a replacement. This is rarely needed due to our vetting depth.

I have some questions.."

What Exactly Does Talented Do?

We find founders long-term, full-time admin talent from overseas countries like the Philippines, all without wasting time reviewing bad applicants or rolling the dice on flaky hires. We launch custom hiring campaigns to attract and vet the top 1% of candidates to fit exactly what role our client needs to fill. We run all applicants through our 4-Level Protocol and only present our clients with the top options. We have the highest standard for what 'good' looks like from our years of advanced data collection and 40,000+ applicants.

How Much Does It Cost?

Your one time placement investment is between $2,000 & $4,000 depending on the complexity and value of the role. With our 'Only Pay If You Hire' guarantee, you only pay the placement when you have a signed offer letter with your candidate.
There is a refundable deposit at the start so we know you're serious.
That's it - no monthly subscription on our end.

Who Is This For?

If any of these sound like you...
- You spend way too much of your valuable time on tasks that someone else could handle
- You don't have enough time for the tasks that are your highest value
- You have heard good things about hiring from the Philippines, but you have no clue what a good hire would look like
- You tried hiring overseas before and got burnt out from the whole process and you really don't want to go through all that again
- You hired a cheap VA but spent more time fixing mistakes

This probably isn't for you if...
- You're hiring so you can lay on the beach
- You're hiring to launch your business
- You want to "outsource" instead of "delegate"
- You want someone who "just knows what to do" without any direction
- You think checking in once a month is enough leadership
- You're looking for the cheapest possible salary (ie $2/hr)
- You don't believe in basic benefits like PTO and local holidays
- You're only looking for part-time help
‍
Our clients are mostly founders running lean teams (often solo or with one or two operators) who want to stop doing backend admin work themselves. They know they need help but don’t have time to screen candidates or guess at what makes a good overseas hire.

Can you find one cheaper? You bet
Will they be the same quality of talent? Doubtful

Couldn't I Just Find Them Myself?

Of course!
You could also cut your own hair, do your own taxes, assemble your own plane.
But is that the best use of your time as a business owner?
I mean, think about the true cost of a bad hire - the lost productivity and time wasted training someone who doesn't work out...
‍
Alas, here's our whole system for how to do it yourself:

Why Should I Work With You Instead of Hiring On My Own?

The recruiting process alone sucks
‍
Your Onlinejobs post gets hundreds of terrible applicants, and now you have to somehow get through all of them to find a needle in the haystack.
‍
Wouldn't it be great if you could skip allll of that and just have the best candidates to choose from?
Already interviewed, already vetted?
That it becomes a coin flip which one to go with?

Well, thats what we do.

Instead of:
- Posting a job and sorting through hundreds (even thousands) of applications
- Testing and screening candidates alone
- Hoping you can spot the red flags in interviews
- Risking a bad hire that costs you months of time and training

By working with us you're buying back your time and avoiding the many mistakes of overseas hiring.

Rather than handing you the first half-way-decent applicant we can find, we give you the freedom of choice. You maintain full control over who you choose to hire.

Attitude and character can't be taught. So we emphasize those strongly in our recruiting process, since we know what to look for. Recruiting involves a lot more than just looking at resumes. We ask the right questions to actually get to know these people before you commit to them.

With our presence in the Filipino remote worker community, you gain access to our talent reach. Candidates you would not find on your own.

Instead of facing a whole page of "hire me" applications, we keep the ball moving forward behind the scenes for you. While you focus on the stuff that actually will get you further in life.

How Long Does The Process Take?

In less than 14 days we will send over our candidate shortlist (with interviews) for you to review!

Do They Speak English?

Good communication is a bare minimum for a good team.
And you're in luck - English is actually integrated into their education system. It's a non-negotiable part of our screening process, so communication won't be an issue with our candidates.

What Training Do They Have?

As a recruitment service, we do not provide any specific training to the individuals we scout for you. Their background will depend on your requirements. We scout each hire uniquely for your business.

Are They Full-Time or Part-Time?

We focus exclusively on full-time roles (40 hours per week).
For your team member to grow with your business, they need to be fully invested - and that means full-time.
Part-time leads to divided attention and slower progress.

How Does The Time Zone Work?

That's up to you! Many Filipinos are comfortable working US hours - it's actually pretty common in their call center industry when they support US companies.
Some of our clients require US hours, others are flexible.
It really depends on your business needs and the role. For example, my own team works on a flex schedule.

How Do You Vet Candidates?

Are They Working Directly Under Me?

Yes! This is your team member, not ours. They work directly for you, report to you, and are paid by you as an international independent contractor. We just help you find them.

How Do I Pay My Hire?

Most clients use services like Wise, Paypal, or Remitly for easy international transfers. Wise is the most common one and the one I use personally for my team.

What If It Doesn't Work Out?

We have a 30-day guarantee. If things aren't working out within the first 30 days, we'll give you the option of receiving a full refund, or finding a new one for you. But honestly, this rarely happens because of how thorough our screening process is. If 30 days is not enough for you, we do have options for increased replacement windows.

What Kind of Support Do You Provide After Hiring?

We have plenty of resources including Looms and Notion docs we provide to you on how to best lead your new team. This includes advanced training docs for select roles. For your hire to have the greatest chance of success, we give you space to get to know your team member. After all, you will be the one leading them (hopefully) for years to come.
