KMC Solutions is a Philippine provider of dedicated offshore teams, employer-of-record services and flexible office space, headquartered in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. It was founded in 2009 with a single serviced office in Makati to provide workspace and support to small outsourcing companies hiring employees in the Philippines. Today it operates from the Philippines and Colombia and serves multinational corporations, small and mid-sized enterprises and startups across the United States, Europe, Australia and Singapore.
KMC's model combines two businesses that most competitors run separately. One is staffing: KMC recruits people, employs them legally on the client's behalf and handles HR, payroll and compliance. The other is real estate: it leases, fits out and manages offices and coworking spaces where those teams, and other companies' staff, work. The combination lets a foreign company put a dedicated team in a branded private office in Manila without forming a local entity, and it gives KMC two revenue streams from the same client.
Services & Capabilities
KMC sells an integrated package: people, employment and space. Its homepage sets out the service lines.
- Recruitment: access to local talent networks in the Philippines and Colombia.
- Employer of record: KMC legally employs the client's team and manages all local requirements.
- HR, payroll and compliance: end-to-end employment lifecycle support.
- Office and workspace solutions: fully managed offices and flexible workspaces.
- Employee housing: relocation and housing support for key hires.
The company describes a four-step process: plan and source talent, hire legally and stay compliant, onboard and enable, and scale with confidence.
Employer of record versus BPO: KMC positions its model against traditional BPO. In a BPO contract the provider owns the process and supplies agents from a shared pool; in KMC's model the client selects and manages a dedicated team, while KMC is the legal employer. Zenni Optical, a US online eyewear retailer, is cited on KMC's homepage as having switched from a BPO model to KMC's employer-of-record model. The trade-off for clients is more control and transparency in exchange for taking on day-to-day management of the team.
Workspace: The workspace business is what sets KMC apart from most Philippine staffing providers. The directory profile describes KMC as providing flexible workspace solutions and talent insourcing options for businesses, start-ups and companies, with a network of offices and coworking spaces across Metro Manila, Cebu, Iloilo and Clark. Its mission statement ties the two together: to source top talent for companies to build high-performing teams in beautifully designed workspaces.
Functions: The platform record lists digital marketing, finance and accounting, and HR and recruitment as service lines, with technology and SaaS as the main vertical. Current job postings show a broader range of roles staffed for clients: a SCADA design engineer, a Power BI and SAP reporting consultant, a VoIP and cloud technical specialist, a law clerk for litigation and disputes, a luxury travel reservations agent, a healthcare customer service team leader and an accounting and payroll specialist for the Australian market. The spread shows that KMC staffs skilled professional and technical roles as well as customer support.
Thought leadership: In December 2025 CEO Parikshat Nagpal discussed why the India plus one approach is relevant to companies diversifying their offshore footprint, a pitch aimed at firms that already offshore to India and want a second location.
Client Base & Market Position
KMC names a client roster weighted towards US technology companies, consistent with its origin as an employer of record for eBay.
Named clients: The homepage displays Zoom, Okta, Asana, Figma, Airbnb, Uber, eBay, Mecca, Viking Cloud, Kroll, Cellular Sales, Zenni Optical and Soci. eBay was the first major client, for which KMC recruited and legally hired dedicated employees working exclusively from a private KMC office.
Testimonials: The homepage carries three client stories. Zoom is cited for adapting to its role in the new work setup with KMC's help in finding talent. Cellular Sales is cited as having worked with KMC for five years on offshoring. Zenni Optical, described as the leading online eyewear retailer in the US, is cited for its switch from a BPO model to KMC's employer-of-record model.
Client geography: The company serves clients across the United States, Europe, Australia and Singapore. The platform record lists Australia, Colombia, the Philippines, Singapore and the United States as delivery locations; the Philippines and Colombia are the operating bases, while the other three correspond to client markets named by the company. Current postings include an accounting and payroll specialist for the Australian market and a night-shift client services manager, a shift pattern that serves US clients.
Client mix: The roster spans growth-stage software companies such as Asana and Figma, large platforms such as Airbnb, Uber and eBay, and non-technology businesses such as Cellular Sales, Kroll, Mecca and Zenni Optical. Technology companies value the employer-of-record model because it lets them hire specialist staff quickly without a local entity. The concentration also exposes KMC to the hiring cycles of the technology sector.
Workspace clients: The workspace business adds a second client base of companies that rent offices without using KMC's staffing services. In September 2026 Robinsons Land secured a KMC Solutions office deal, an example of KMC taking new floor space from Philippine developers to serve that demand.
Market position: KMC competes on two fronts: with Philippine staffing and employer-of-record providers such as Outsourced and other Australian- and US-founded staff-leasing firms, and with flexible workspace operators. Few competitors combine both at its scale.
Delivery Infrastructure & Operations
Philippine network: KMC's offices are in Metro Manila, Clark and Cebu, and the older directory profile adds Iloilo. Current job postings are concentrated in Taguig, Makati and Muntinlupa in Metro Manila, with a project-based developer role in Pampanga. Its headquarters is in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
Colombia: KMC also operates in Bogota and Medellin. The Colombian sites give it a nearshore option for US clients that want overlapping working hours and Spanish-language capability, and they extend the same employer-of-record and workspace model into Latin America.
Growth in space: Office capacity is a growth constraint and an investment for KMC, unlike staffing firms that rent space as needed. In September 2026 Robinsons Land secured a KMC Solutions office deal, and coverage the same month described the Table Space and Hillhouse transaction as putting the Philippines at the heart of an Asia-Pacific workspace expansion. Both point to continued expansion of floor space under the new owners.
Operating model: Teams can work from private KMC offices dedicated to a single client, as eBay's team did, or from shared flexible workspace. KMC also provides employee housing and relocation support for key hires, a service that matters when clients recruit senior staff from outside Metro Manila or Cebu.
Hiring activity: The platform tracks 15 open roles. Recent postings include an HR systems administrator and a quality assurance and compliance specialist in Taguig, a workplace interior designer for test fits and concept design in Makati, and an IT infrastructure engineer for a managed service provider client. The interior designer role reflects the real-estate side of the business: fitting out offices for clients is part of KMC's own operations.
Ownership, Financials & Scale
Ownership: KMC Solutions is a privately held company (Private). In September 2026 Table Space and Hillhouse acquired a majority stake in KMC Solutions. Before the transaction KMC was led by its three co-founders, Michael McCullough, Amanda Carpo and Gregory Kittelson, who founded it in 2009. The founders' roles after the deal were not covered in the sources reviewed.
The deal places KMC inside a larger regional workspace platform. Coverage framed it as putting the Philippines at the heart of an Asia-Pacific workspace expansion, which indicates that the buyers' interest centres on KMC's office network as much as on its staffing business.
Financials: No company-published revenue figure was found during research.
Scale: Earlier records put the workforce at 6,500.
History: KMC was founded in 2009 with a single serviced office in Makati to provide workspace and support to small outsourcing companies. Shortly afterwards, eBay asked the founders to recruit and legally hire dedicated employees on its behalf, and that arrangement became KMC's offshore staffing model. Over more than 15 years the company has built a network of dozens of office locations and extended into Colombia.
People, Leadership & Culture
Leadership: The company's leadership page names Michael McCullough as Chief Visionary and Co-Founder, Amanda Carpo as Legal Counsel and Co-Founder, and Gregory Kittelson as Director and Co-Founder, based in the Americas and Europe. Parikshat "Parry" Nagpal is CEO of KMC TEAMS, the staffing business. Tracy Ignacio is Chief Operating Officer and Clinton Marsh is Chief Technology Officer. Tom Cragg is Senior VP for Sales, Nancy Martinez-Arce is VP for Legal and Administration and Evelyn Landas is VP for Teams.
The structure separates the staffing business, KMC TEAMS, under its own chief executive from the founders' wider role across the group. That separation makes it easier to run staffing and workspace as distinct lines with their own economics.
Commercial team: The platform's leadership record also lists Trish Reposo as Director for Global Strategic Partnerships, Renei Victoria Almoneda as Director of Growth for the USA and Europe, and Kristine Gonzales-Abella as Growth Director for APAC and strategic markets. In July 2026 KMC appointed Paula Queaño as director of brand and communications.
Talent movement: Over the past 24 months the platform recorded 3 senior arrivals at KMC, from Capgemini, Ubiquity and Teleperformance Global Services. Over the same period it recorded 1 senior departure, to ServiceFirst. Hiring from Teleperformance and Capgemini brings large-scale BPO and services experience into a company that has grown from a staffing and workspace niche.
Culture: KMC's vision is to connect companies to outstanding remote teams inside passion-filled workspaces while providing comprehensive human resource support. The workspace emphasis is part of the employee proposition as well as the client one: staff work from designed offices rather than shared contact-centre floors.
Technology & Innovation
KMC's technology function supports operations rather than a client-facing software product. Clinton Marsh is Chief Technology Officer, and the company's process includes onboarding and enabling teams, which covers equipment, network access and IT support for dedicated staff.
Workspace technology: Running a multi-site office network requires building management, connectivity and IT infrastructure at scale. Current postings for a VoIP and cloud technical specialist and an IT infrastructure engineer show the technical roles KMC fills, both for its own operations and for clients.
HR systems: As an employer of record for thousands of staff, KMC depends on payroll, HR and compliance systems. A current posting for an HR systems administrator in Taguig reflects that dependency.
No proprietary client-facing technology platform was identified during research.
Strategic Assessment
Strengths
- Integrated model: recruitment, employer of record, HR and payroll, office space and housing from one provider.
- Technology client roster: Zoom, Okta, Asana, Figma, Airbnb, Uber and eBay are named on its own site.
- Office network: offices and coworking spaces in the Philippines and Colombia.
- New backing: the September 2026 majority investment by Table Space and Hillhouse brings capital for workspace growth.
Risks and Vulnerabilities
- Sector concentration: a client list weighted towards US technology companies ties demand to that sector's hiring cycles.
- Real-estate exposure: leasing and fitting out offices adds fixed costs that pure staffing providers do not carry.
- Integration and change of control: a new majority owner may shift priorities between workspace and staffing.
- Employment compliance: as legal employer in the Philippines and Colombia, it carries labour-law obligations for every placed employee.
Opportunities
- India plus one: its CEO is pitching the Philippines as a second location for companies that already offshore to India.
- Colombia: Bogota and Medellin give it a nearshore base for US clients.
- Regional workspace platform: coverage of the deal placed the Philippines at the heart of an Asia-Pacific workspace expansion.
