Remote Staff is a founder-led Sydney provider of Filipino remote workers for Australian and New Zealand businesses, with recruitment, payroll, employer-of-record cover and a monitoring platform under one contract. A buyer should confirm the leadership, the current size, the contract form, the security controls and the references before committing.
Services & Capabilities
Four service shapes. The home page lists four ways to buy. The first is a ready team. — "Fast deployment of ready-made, high-performing virtual" The second is employer-of-record cover. — "Ensure compliant global employment structures, handling all legal and administrative complexities for you." The third is a recruitment-only route. — "or Recruitment-Only services to suit your desired level of control." The mix runs from full management to placement, so a buyer should ask which structure a given hire sits in.
More than recruitment. The about page lists the services around the hire. — "Recruitment and structured hiring Onboarding and integration guidance Payroll and compliance management EOR Ongoing HR and performance support Relationship management between client and contractor" The list shows an HR and payroll layer on top of sourcing, which is closer to employer services than to a plain agency.
Role menu. The navigation lists the roles on offer. — "Virtual Assistants Customer Support Data Entry Specialists Administrators Web Developers" The home page gives role cards with experience bands. — "Accountants BAS/IAS Returns Bank Reconciliation" The accounting card names Australian tax returns, which fits the Australian client base. The menu is broad, and a buyer should ask which roles have the deepest bench.
Sourcing method. The FAQ describes the recruitment steps. — "We source from within our database of 150,000 candidates." The recruitment page adds the checks. — "Every candidate goes through rigorous testing for required skill sets" The FAQ lists a home-office check. — "We check their home office environment and resources" The database size is the firm's own and carries no date.
Client Base & Market Position
Client volume. The FAQ states the cumulative result. — "to help over 3,000 clients hire 8,000 Filipino remote workers for the long term" The about page states a related count. — "Supported 8,000+ remote working relationships since 2007." Both figures are cumulative since the start and undated, so a buyer should ask how many relationships are active now.
Client mix. The directory profile gives the split. — "Currently, our clients consist of 60% SOHO entrepreneurs and 40% larger business owners." The profile carries no date, and the split shows a base of very small buyers.
Named clients. The home page carries a banner of trust. — "TRUSTED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS FOR RELIABLE REMOTE" The banner names no client, so it is a claim without a reference. A buyer should ask for named references in its own sector.
Market position. The directory profile states the focus. — "We are predominantly focused on servicing the Australian and New Zealand market." The firm is therefore a regional specialist, and the Australian focus is its main differentiator against global virtual-assistant marketplaces.
Delivery Infrastructure & Operations
Footprint. The directory profile lists two fulfilment countries. — "Countries of fulfillment Australia, Philippines" The firm's contact lines in the three countries match the office list. The record names no delivery countries.
Work-from-home model. The workers operate from their homes. — "supporting international businesses from their homes" The FAQ states the schedules. — "Full-time for a minimum of 40 work hours in a week." A second option exists. — "Part-time for a minimum of 20 work hours in a week." A home-based model lowers the firm's property exposure and moves the risk to connectivity and supervision.
Monitoring platform. The technology page describes the tracking tool. — "DIWA (Diary of Work and Activity)" It adds the screenshot feature. — "DIWA takes regular screenshots" It sets a camera option off by default. — "Camera Shots (Optional)" A buyer should ask where the screenshots are stored and for how long.
Security and certifications. The technology and FAQ pages name no security standard, so a buyer who handles regulated data should ask for one. The firm instead publishes a conduct policy. — "Periodic Management Review and Legal Audit" It adds how the review runs. — "we regularly and routinely hold assessment interviews with both our contractors and business partners"
Record and Tier Note
- The record's archetype differs from the site. The record calls the firm a Philippine-based United States voice outsourcer, while the site sells remote workers to Australian businesses. — "We Help You Build and Manage Remote Teams That Deliver"
- The record puts the headquarters in Sydney and lists no delivery locations. The site lists Bondi Junction, and the directory profile gives a post-office box in Rose Bay. — "Countries of fulfillment Australia, Philippines"
Ownership, Financials & Scale
Ownership. The directory profile describes a private firm. — "We are a privately held company founded in 2007 by a Sydney based Australian founder." The profile names no investor or parent, so a buyer should ask who holds the shares.
Contract types. The FAQ separates two engagement forms. The first is employment. — "For Employment Contract (eg. EOR) you are obligated to cover Philippine holidays." The second is contractor status. — "For Independent Contractor Contract, you are not obligated to pay for Local or Philippine holidays" The split changes who carries the employment obligations, so a buyer should confirm the form before signing.
Exit terms. The FAQ gives a notice period. — "You may terminate your agreement with a remote contractor upon 14 days’ written notice within the first 6 months of the engagement." It adds a replacement promise. — "we offer an unlimited replacement hire guarantee" Both are the firm's own terms and a buyer should read them in the contract.
Scale. The record carries two hundred and fifty-nine employees. The directory profile gives a far smaller in-house team, and its workforce band is two hundred and one to five hundred. The firm's own pages give no total, so the real size is not settled by the public sources.
Revenue. No public revenue figure was found. The firm states cumulative client and worker counts, which describe activity since two thousand and seven and not the firm's size or income.
People, Leadership & Culture
Leadership. The about page lists its managers by first name only and gives no surnames. It shows a director named Chris and no chief executive. — "Management Recruitment and Pooling HR & Organization Development Client Relations Information Technology" The directory profile names the founder. — "Chris Jankulovski founded" The record lists a chief executive with the same family name and a co-founder title, which is covered in the Record and Tier Note. A buyer should ask who signs contracts and who runs delivery.
Support structure. The about page lists the departments behind the team. — "Billing and Collections Manager Digital Marketing Manager IT Manager" The support page describes the account role. — "A dedicated Client Relations Executive to support you" The firm therefore has named functions for billing, marketing and IT, even though the about page names its managers by first name only.
Worker protection. The support page describes continuity for the workers. — "Work stability through a redeployment program that ensures continuous employment should an existing contract come to an end." This addresses a common weakness of the contractor model, and a buyer should ask how often redeployment is used.
Values. The about page states five values. — "Together is Better Get the Balance Right Live with Integrity Strive for Excellence INNOVATE" The statements are intent and carry no measure.
Record and Tier Note
- The record's verticals are narrow. It lists media and technology, while the role menu covers accounting, writing, engineering and support. — "Accountants BAS/IAS Returns Bank Reconciliation"
- The leadership list is mixed. The record lists Chris as founder and Rica Jankulovski as chief executive, with a second entry for Rica J. as co-founder and chief executive, beside two human-resources chiefs and three marketing roles. — "Chris Jankulovski founded"
Technology & Innovation
Work platform. The technology page positions the tool as a governance aid. — "With DIWA (Diary of Work and Activity) working alongside the" The tool reports logins, breaks and idle time, and the page describes it as built for Australian buyers. A buyer should ask for a sample report and the data-retention terms.
Recruitment tooling. The FAQ lists the improvements made to hiring. — "Using best-of-breed recruitment technology" The line names no vendor, so the tooling cannot be checked from outside.
Onboarding method. The home page describes a structured start. — "A dedicated hypercare phase ensures a frictionless transition with guided handover and tailored training." The claim is the firm's own, and a buyer should ask for the first-ninety-day results of a recent client.
Savings calculator. The home page offers a cost comparison tool. — "Compare costs against onshore and foreign workers." The tool uses indicative inputs, and a buyer should treat it as a sales aid and not as a quote.
Strategic Assessment
Strengths
- A long-running regional specialist. The firm has served Australian and New Zealand buyers since two thousand and seven.
- A full service layer. Recruitment, payroll, employer-of-record cover and support sit under one contract.
- A published monitoring tool. The platform gives the client activity records.
- Stated exit and replacement terms. The FAQ gives notice and replacement terms.
Risks and Vulnerabilities
- No surnamed leader on the firm's pages. The about page lists managers by first name only and names no chief executive.
- Cumulative, undated scale claims. The client and worker counts run since the start.
- No stated security standard. A regulated buyer has to ask for one.
- Contract form changes the obligations. Employment and contractor forms carry different duties.
Opportunities
- Name the leadership and references. Both would turn the claims into procurement evidence.
- Publish a security standard and the data-retention terms. Both would help buyers with regulated data.
Record and Tier Note
- The record counts two active job postings. Its dated job rows list none.
