The people behind your offshore team

Australian-owned, Manila-operated. Offshored was built by two Australian business owners who used offshore staff in their own companies first — and then built the firm they wished they’d had.

Our story

Built from experience, not theory

Offshored is a privately held, Australian-owned offshore staffing company. We recruit, legally employ and manage high-performing Filipino professionals — bookkeepers, drafters, administrators, support staff and more — who work full time for Australian businesses from our office in BGC, Manila.

Before Offshored, co-founders William Smith and Jackson Taylor ran their own Australian businesses — including scaling ventures ranked among Australia’s fastest-growing companies — and integrated remote Filipino talent into their own operations first. That experience became the blueprint: a dual-location model with strategic leadership in Sydney and Adelaide, and delivery run by our Filipino operations team with local HR and management expertise.

Three years on, more than forty team members support eighteen Australian businesses across construction, trades, property, architecture, bookkeeping and professional practices — every one of them employed properly, trained continuously and proud of where they work.

What we stand for: operational excellence — your offshore team integrated into your processes, tools and culture, not bolted on. Ethical recruitment — no placement or onboarding fees, real employment with health cover, fair pay and career progression for our Filipino team. And transparency — Australian accountability, Philippine labour-law compliance, and no lock-in contracts, ever.
