Hire from the Philippines: offshore Filipino recruitment done properly.
The Philippines is the world's largest English-speaking offshore talent market. Sprint Labs recruits, employs and manages Filipino engineers, support and revenue teams for companies in Australia, the US, the UK and beyond — on real employment contracts, in Philippine peso payroll, with 13th-month pay and statutory benefits handled end-to-end.
One paragraph, then the detail.
The Philippines is the strongest market in the world for English-fluent, service-oriented offshore talent — customer success, support, virtual assistants, QA, revenue ops, plus a deep engineering bench. Sprint Labs is the legal employer, runs peso payroll, handles 13th-month pay, HMO and DOLE compliance, and bills you a flat monthly seat cost in your own currency.
Why companies hire from the Philippines.
The Philippines has spent two decades building the infrastructure for offshore work — bilingual education, cultural alignment with Western business norms, and a mature BPO ecosystem. That is why it dominates customer success, support and revenue operations offshoring, and why its engineering and product-design pool has quietly become one of the deepest in Asia.

Employment, compliance and payroll in the Philippines.
13th-month pay
Legally mandated for regular employees under Presidential Decree 851. Sprint Labs accrues it monthly and pays it out by 24 December — you never get a surprise December invoice.
SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG
Sprint Labs registers each employee and remits the employer and employee contributions. You do not need a local entity.
HMO / health cover
Private HMO is the standard retention tool in the Philippines. Sprint Labs includes it in every seat cost from day one — this is often the deciding factor for senior candidates.
Leave entitlements
Sprint Labs administers Service Incentive Leave, sick leave and public holidays in-portal. Requests are visible to you, and approvals route through the customer.
Contract & IP
Every Filipino hire signs a Sprint Labs employment contract with IP assignment and confidentiality clauses that carry across to you via the MSA and Work Order.
How the Philippines overlaps your working day.
Manila is UTC+8 — the same trading day as Sydney (1h behind), Singapore and Hong Kong. That means true synchronous overlap for Australian and New Zealand teams, a 6–8 hour overlap for the US West Coast morning, and a comfortable early-shift overlap with the UK. Most Sprint Labs Filipino hires already work a Western-aligned shift.

People asking about offshore Filipino recruitment.
How much does it cost to hire a developer in the Philippines?
A mid-level Filipino software engineer through Sprint Labs typically costs USD 2,400–3,400 per month all-in, and a senior USD 3,600–5,200. That includes the developer's salary, 13th-month pay, HMO, SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG contributions, hardware, HR and Sprint Labs' employer overhead. There is no separate recruitment fee.
Do I need a Philippine entity to hire Filipino staff?
No. Sprint Labs is the legal employer of record in the Philippines. Your Filipino team is contracted by us, paid by us in Philippine peso, and managed by you day-to-day. You receive one monthly invoice in your currency.
Is 13th-month pay mandatory for offshore Filipino hires?
Yes — 13th-month pay is a legal entitlement in the Philippines for anyone Sprint Labs employs locally. We accrue it monthly and disburse it by 24 December, so it never appears as a surprise cost on your invoice.
Which roles is the Philippines strongest for?
Customer success, customer support, virtual assistance, revenue operations, QA, and full-stack web engineering (especially WordPress, Shopify, Laravel, React and mobile). The Philippines also has one of the world's deepest talent pools for English-first written communication, which is why so many SaaS companies base support and CSM teams there.
Can Filipino staff work Australian, US or UK hours?
Yes. Manila is UTC+8, giving full synchronous overlap with Australia and New Zealand, a strong early-shift overlap with the UK, and 6–8 hours with the US West Coast morning. Most Sprint Labs Filipino candidates already prefer a Western-aligned shift.
How does Sprint Labs vet Filipino candidates?
Every Sprint Labs hire clears a four-stage vetting process: application and screening (resume, initial skills screen, background and reference verification); a role-specific practical skills assessment under observation; a communication and culture interview in English, including recorded video; and security, client-communication and workflow training before any client introduction. Roughly 3% of applicants reach the talent pool. Every Filipino candidate also records a short voice introduction you can hear before shortlisting.
