They also provide functions rooms, shared employee facilities like locker rooms, restaurants, and pharmacies in their locations.
For staffing solutions, MicroSourcing has more than 30 full-time employees dedicated to finding highly skilled workers in the Philippines capable of handling your workload.
Your staff are employed by MicroSourcing, so they handle all the legal paperwork which is one less thing for you to worry about trying to manage from overseas.

MicroSourcing break down their costs into two elements;
- Direct Employee Costs – The total cost per employee. This includes their salary, benefits, taxes, insurance, and so on.

They don’t provide any set fees or pricing plans.
Each client is given a custom quote based on the services they require so you need to contact a member of their team to discuss your individual business needs.
MicroSourcing Alternatives
Microsourcing is for larger companies looking to leverage BPO (business process outsourcing at scale. If you need to ramp up a team quickly, I think it’s a strong option. Also worth a look are companies like TayStone or Helpware.
If you’re looking for full-time Filipino staff, then Virtual Staff Finder and Zen Virtual Assistants are two headhunting companies capable of finding any number of team members.
If you need to fulfill individual jobs or shorter-term contracts I recommend checking out virtual assistant companies like OnlineJobs.ph or Task Bullet.
