Our in-house recruitment team sources, screens and skill-tests Filipino professionals against your actual requirements — so you don't have to sort through hundreds of applications yourself.
From initial brief to a shortlist of 3–5 strong candidates, we handle the heavy lifting. Typically placed within 7–14 days.
Before we source anyone, we understand exactly what you need.
Need Australian real estate experience?
We screen specifically for that. →
Need Australian accounting systems?
We screen for that. →
Need Premiere Pro, After Effects and short-form content?
We screen for exactly that. →
The recruitment process is built around your role — not the other way around.
Our in-house recruitment team actively sources and reviews candidates against the brief.
We don't simply send through the first applicants who look good on paper. We filter candidates on:
Previous roles, years of experience, seniority and the level of responsibility they've actually held.
Have they worked in the industry or environment you're hiring for before? That matters.
Where relevant, we screen specifically for candidates who have worked with Australian, UK or US businesses.
Written communication, spoken English, comprehension, professionalism and clarity with clients and teams.
The actual software, systems and platforms they've used — not just what's listed on their CV.
Previous employers, responsibilities, progression and the consistency of their experience.
Does their actual experience match what you're asking them to do?
Hours, timezone overlap, start date and ongoing availability.
Responsiveness, reliability, communication and overall attitude throughout the recruitment process.
Our recruitment team screens and interviews candidates before putting anyone forward.
Only the shortlisted candidates we believe are genuinely worth meeting are introduced to you.
Only the strongest candidates move forward.
We don't rely on a CV to tell us whether someone can do the job. Where appropriate, candidates complete role-specific testing based on the requirements of the position. The testing changes depending on the role.
Xero experience, reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, reporting and practical bookkeeping scenarios.

View role →Campaign strategy, reporting, content, paid media, analytics and platform knowledge.
View role →You receive shortlisted candidates who have already been screened, interviewed and skill-tested by our recruitment team — so you only meet the people worth meeting.
Illustrative example only.
Who they are. What they've done. What they can do. And whether they're worth meeting.
You interview the candidates you like. Our recruitment team supports the process throughout — coordinating interviews, answering questions and keeping everything moving.
Ask questions, test their knowledge and get a feel for who fits your business. There's no pressure to choose someone just because they made the shortlist. If they're not right, we keep looking.
For roles where practical output matters, you can provide your own test or trial task — another chance to see how they think and work before you decide.
Give them a piece of raw footage and ask them to create a Reel.
Give them a campaign brief and ask them to produce a social asset.
Give them a sample reconciliation or bookkeeping scenario.
Give them a short piece of existing website or advertising copy to improve.
Give them a scheduling or prioritisation scenario.
Before the candidate starts, we complete the relevant final checks.
Where applicable, previous employment and references are checked.
Candidate identity and relevant details are confirmed.
We confirm their availability, hours and expected start date.
Client and candidate are aligned on the role, hours, responsibilities and expectations.
Once you've selected your candidate, we move into placement. Depending on your chosen model:
You contract directly with your chosen independent contractor and pay them directly.
We handle ongoing payment administration, timesheets, invoicing and support while you manage the contractor's day-to-day work.
Direct Hire includes a 6-month replacement guarantee. Managed includes ongoing replacement coverage while you remain with the service.
The goal isn't simply to find someone. It's to find someone who becomes a genuine extension of your team.
We make sure the role, expectations and working arrangement are clear from the beginning. Your new contractor then integrates into your existing tools — the exact tools depend on your business.
TD Hire is an offshore talent agency. We find the top talent in the Philippines and source every candidate specifically for your role.
Your professional isn't pulled from a shared pool or rotated across an outsourcing agency's client portfolio. They're found for your business, and they work directly with your team.
You could do the recruiting yourself — posting jobs, reviewing hundreds of applications, interviewing and testing. Or you can give us the brief.
