Why Hire Remote Talent in the Philippines?

Remote workers from the Philippines are making waves across industries worldwide. Ready to tap into this talent goldmine?  Here’s how hiring from the Philippines gives your business a competitive edge — and how Walter makes it a breeze to build your dream team.

The Philippines:

A Powerhouse of Remote Talent

You want remote talent that delivers on every level — and we’ve got you covered! Here are the top five benefits of hiring remote workers from the Philippines:

High English Skills and Literacy Rates

English is an official language in the Philippines. It’s taught from grade school, spoken fluently, and used daily in business.

As one of Asia’s top English-speaking nations, Filipino professionals fit seamlessly into global teams, making communication easy and collaboration smooth.

Plus, with a 99% literacy rate, you’re getting access to a workforce that’s sharp, skilled, and driven to excel.

Cost-Effective Remote Hiring

Cost savings is one major advantage of remote staffing in the Philippines. With a lower cost of living, you can hire top talent at up to 80% less than salaries in the US, Canada, or Europe.

For startups and small businesses, the cost savings of offshore staffing are game-changing. Stretch your budget further, reinvest in growth, and save money without skimping on quality.

The Time Zone Advantage

Time zones don’t have to be a problem — they can be your strategic power-up. Filipino professionals work on Philippine Standard Time (UTC +8), putting them 13 to 16 hours ahead of North America and about 8 hours ahead of Europe. Leverage this time difference for:

  • Around-the-Clock Workflows
    While your local team wraps up for the day, your Filipino team takes over. This seamless handoff ensures progress never stalls, and you get more work done.
  • 24/7 Customer Support
    Keep your customers happy with service that never sleeps. Pair your local and Filipino remote teams for support across all time zones. Your customers get answers whenever they need them — no delays.

This time zone synergy supercharges productivity, improves customer satisfaction, and keeps your business buzzing day and night.

Cultural Compatibility

Filipino workers are known for their collaborative spirit and dedication. Coming from a community-oriented culture, they thrive in team settings. They respect diverse ideas, pitch in wherever needed, and create a harmonious, high-performing work environment.

Government Support

The Philippine government actively supports a remote workforce. They offer attractive tax incentives and perks that make hiring Filipino talent a smart move for businesses, such as:

  • Focus On Education
    Education is a top priority, with Filipino schools producing skilled professionals with degrees that meet global standards.
  • Commitment to Internet Upgrades
    With nearly 87 million Filipinos having access to the internet (74% of the population), the government is focused on improving connectivity.
