Published 13 September 2026 by Offshored. Every Staff Domain fact below comes from staffdomain.com or its public profile and is linked to the page it appears on, with the date we checked it. We say plainly where Staff Domain is the better fit.
Offshored and Staff Domain are both Sydney-based providers of full-time, dedicated Philippine staff for Australian businesses. The published differences are in the terms: Staff Domain charges a $500 upfront recruitment advertising fee, invoices salary plus a facility fee, needs 90 days' notice and replaces a hire free within six months. Offshored charges no upfront fee, publishes an all-inclusive monthly band for every role from A$1,900, needs 30 days' notice and replaces at its own cost at any time. Staff Domain is ISO 27001 certified and also recruits in South Africa; Offshored is not certified today and recruits in the Philippines only.
This page compares what the two companies publish about pricing, fees, notice, offices, staffing model and industries. It contains no opinion about Staff Domain's quality. Where a fact is not on the provider's site, the table says so.

Both lists are drawn from the table above, not from opinion.
Staff Domain: $500 recruitment advertising fee before the search starts8. Offshored: nothing until you choose a candidate and sign the Memorandum of Understanding1.
The fourth is the employer. Staff Domain employs its staff directly as Employer of Record13. Offshored's team members are employed in the Philippines by Australian Pathways OPC, Offshored's registered Philippine entity, and the Australian client contracts with Offshored Pty Ltd in Sydney4. In both cases the client directs the work day to day and the provider runs payroll, HR and compliance.
Staff Domain Pty Ltd publishes an Australian address at 43/52 Parramatta Rd, Homebush NSW 2140 and a 1300 number, with staff offices in Pasig City, Alabang, Pampanga and Cebu in the Philippines and Randburg in South Africa. Offshored Pty Ltd is Australian-owned, founded in Sydney in 2023, with its Australian office at Level 7, 99 York St, Sydney and its own office in BGC, Manila.
Staff Domain's FAQ states a recruitment advertising fee upfront of $500, then a monthly invoice for salary cost with no mark-up plus its facility fee. Offshored charges no recruitment, setup or exit fee; nothing is payable until you choose a candidate, and then one all-inclusive monthly fee applies.
Staff Domain states there is no minimum term but a 90 day notice period applies to end the contract. Offshored has no minimum term and requires 30 days' notice, with any part month prorated.
Both publish a replacement policy. Staff Domain replaces a hire at no extra cost within the first six months. Offshored recruits a replacement at its own cost if the team member leaves or is not the right fit, at any point in the engagement, and presents candidates before the termination date.
When your procurement requires an ISO 27001 certified provider, when you want staff in South Africa as well as the Philippines, when you want biometric onsite attendance records or PC monitoring software as a published option, or when you are a mid-market business building a larger team across several Philippine sites. Offshored is not ISO certified today, recruits in the Philippines only and has one office in BGC.
