Offshoring in the Philippines: Build A+ Global Remote Teams

While offshoring and remote staffing may seem similar at first glance, they’re actually quite different, especially when it comes to how much control you have and how your team is built. 

So, how do you decide which virtual team scaling setup is right for you?

In this article, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about offshoring. We’ll break down the key differences between offshoring vs remote staffing, explore why more businesses are choosing remote staffing as their go-to model, and help you figure out which option fits your goals best.

What Is Offshoring (and How Has It Changed?)

Traditional offshoring in the Philippines, for example, typically involves relocating entire departments or operational functions overseas. Companies would either partner with a third-party provider or establish their own offshore office to reduce labor costs and enable around-the-clock operations.

But the landscape has shifted.

Today’s growing businesses are prioritizing more than just cost savings. They want flexibility, direct oversight, and long-term alignment with their company culture. That’s where modern remote staffing comes in.

To better understand the distinction, here’s a side-by-side look at outsourcing, traditional offshoring, and MultiplyMii’s remote workforce strategy:

Why Companies Are Offshoring (and Why They’re Shifting to Remote Staffing)

Offshore staffing solutions first gained traction for three main reasons:S

• To significantly reduce labor costs
• To tap into skilled talent that’s hard to find locally
• To scale faster without the limitations of domestic hiring

These remain strong incentives but today’s businesses want more than just savings. They’re after sustainable growth, full visibility, and greater control over their teams. That’s where remote staffing in the Philippines stands out.

Here’s why more companies are making the switch—and how it’s paying off:
‍

They want to choose their team

With remote staffing, you hand-pick your team members. You know exactly who’s doing the work, and you stay in charge every step of the way.

One eCommerce brand aggregator needed a Customer Service Representative who could do more than just answer tickets—they wanted someone who could truly represent their brand and values. With MultiplyMii’s support, they defined the exact traits, experience, and mindset they were looking for. That led them to Lia.

After reviewing pre-vetted candidates, the client chose Lia for her deep background in customer service, strong communication skills, and thoughtful approach to customer care. She wasn’t assigned—she was selected.

Today, Lia manages support for several Amazon brands under the company, maintaining KPIs, handling complex queries, and helping improve customer retention. Most importantly, she’s someone the client trusts and feels proud to have on their team.
‍

They want people who feel part of the company

Remote staff aren’t just people who work far away. They join your team, understand your goals, and work with you closely every day.

For example, an eCommerce brand aggregator hired a Customer Service Representative for $1,000/month. Since joining the team, Elisha has become more than just a customer service hire. She’s become a trusted team member who works closely with internal departments, joins team calls, and plays an active role in improving service quality. The client values her input, and she’s built real connections with the people she works with every day.
‍

They want direct, clear communication

Companies don’t want layers of vendors or unclear handoffs. They want to talk directly with their team, just like they would with local staff.

That’s what Model Citizn needed when they partnered with MultiplyMii. As they grew, they wanted to strengthen communication across their team and improve alignment between leadership and staff.

We helped them hire Grace, an experienced Executive Assistant who quickly became a key part of the team. She didn’t just manage schedules—she shared ideas, took ownership, and kept communication flowing across the company.

With direct support like this, Model Citizn built stronger day-to-day connections and a more engaged team.
‍

They want full transparency

When you’re growing a business, you need to know exactly who you’re hiring, what they’re doing, and how they’re getting paid, without any hidden costs or surprises.

That’s what made MultiplyMii a great fit for eCommerce entrepreneur Ben Leonard. He wanted a clear hiring process and simple payroll management, and that’s exactly what he got.

Everything was laid out in one itemized monthly invoice, from reviewing candidates to handling salaries and benefits. Even when a hire didn’t work out, we handled the replacement quickly and at no extra cost.

With MultiplyMii, Ben scaled his operations with full visibility and peace of mind.
