Who Direct Hire Is Built For

The right fit for these businesses

Direct Hire works best when you have the in-house infrastructure to manage employment — and want full ownership of your remote team member from day one.

🏢
Businesses with existing HR infrastructure
You have payroll, HR policies, and onboarding processes in place. You just need the right person in the role — fast. Direct Hire delivers the talent; you handle the rest.
HR-Ready
👥
Companies building a remote-first team
You're intentionally building a distributed team and want remote professionals to be fully integrated as your employees — same contracts, same tools, same culture.
Remote-First
🎯
Employers who want full control
You want to own the IP, the contract, and the day-to-day relationship entirely. No employment intermediary, no management layer — just your hire, your team.
Full Ownership
📈
Scaling businesses reducing cost-per-hire
You've run the numbers. Hiring remotely from the Philippines delivers 60–70% cost savings. Direct Hire lets you build that team without ongoing per-head management fees.
Cost Efficient
⚖️
Regulated industries with in-house compliance
Healthcare groups, law firms, and CPA practices with existing compliance frameworks. You need the talent vetting — your compliance and employment infrastructure handles the rest.
Regulated Industries
🚀
Fast-growing teams that need to move quickly
You're hiring at pace and can't spend 8–12 weeks on recruitment per role. Direct Hire delivers a shortlist of 3 vetted candidates in 14 days — you hire, you move on.
Fast-Growth
⚠️ Direct Hire isn't for everyone
✕You don't have payroll or HR infrastructure in place
✕You want someone else to handle all employment admin
✕You're not ready to manage a Philippine employment contract
✕You want ongoing HR and performance support included
✕You'd prefer a single monthly invoice covering everything
⚡ Try Fully Managed instead

If you'd prefer StaffWiz to handle the entire employment relationship — payroll, contracts, HR, compliance, and people support — our Fully Managed service is the better fit. Same pre-vetted talent, same 14-day placement, zero employment admin on your side.

Direct Hire Questions

Everything you're wondering about

What does it cost to use Direct Hire?+
Direct Hire is priced as a one-time placement fee, not an ongoing management subscription. The fee covers sourcing, vetting, shortlisting, interview coordination, offer support, and the 90-day replacement guarantee. Book a call to receive exact pricing for your role and location.
Do I need to set up any legal entity in the Philippines?+
That depends on your situation. With Direct Hire, your remote professional is employed by your business directly — which means the employment contract is between you and them. Many international businesses hire Filipino professionals as independent contractors rather than formal employees; your StaffWiz account manager will walk you through the most appropriate structure for your business and desired engagement type.
How does the 90-day replacement guarantee work?+
If the placement doesn't work out within the first 90 days for any reason — performance, culture fit, role changes — we run a full replacement search at no extra cost. The guarantee is triggered by contacting your account manager. No lengthy process, no dispute. We replace.
Can I hire multiple people at once through Direct Hire?+
Yes. We can run parallel sourcing processes for multiple roles simultaneously. Let your account manager know upfront how many hires you're planning and we'll build a coordinated search strategy. Volume pricing may apply for three or more concurrent placements.
What if I want to switch from Direct Hire to Fully Managed later?+
Switching models after a Direct Hire placement is possible in some cases, depending on the employment structure that was set up. Speak with your account manager — they'll assess the situation and advise on the cleanest path if you decide you'd prefer StaffWiz to take over employment management.
What happens if the role I need isn't listed on your website?+
We source virtually any business function remotely. If your role isn't listed, describe it on your discovery call. As long as the role can be performed remotely and you can explain the responsibilities, tools, and time zone requirements, we can source it through Direct Hire.
How is Direct Hire different from using a traditional recruiter?+
Three key differences: (1) We specialize exclusively in remote talent from the Philippines, so our network is curated and deep — not a broad generalist database. (2) Our vetting is multi-stage and role-specific, not just a CV screen. (3) We include a 90-day replacement guarantee, which most traditional recruiters don't offer. And we deliver in 14 days, not 8–12 weeks.
What industries and roles can you source through Direct Hire?+
We source across healthcare, legal, finance & accounting, real estate, e-commerce, consulting, and general business functions. For a full list of remote roles we place, visit our Hire a Remote Team page. If your role isn't listed, ask us — we source far wider than what's publicly listed.
