THE PROBLEM
You built the team. Your provider controls it.
Recruiting, onboarding and training an offshore team takes real investment. Many businesses then find their provider limits transparency, flexibility and control.
And after the Fair Work Commission ruled that offshore contractors may be deemed employees, businesses engaging offshore staff directly carry a risk they may not know about.
REASONS
Consider transitioning if any of these sound familiar
You have no say over what your offshore team is paid.
Your provider struggles to supply experienced candidates quickly.
You engage offshore contractors directly and aren't sure about your Fair Work exposure.
Your provider's margin is unreasonably high, or you can't see it.
Your team wants to work from home, but your provider adds barriers or extra fees.
You're not confident your provider keeps your client data secure.

We'd built a team of 15 in the Philippines through another provider, but we had no real visibility of their pay or the provider's margin. We considered the direct employment route but were nervous about our Fair Work exposure. TalentBridge moved the whole team across in 4 weeks without a single day of downtime. Our people stayed, the work carried on, and we now have transparent pricing. I wish we'd done it sooner.

FAQ
Questions about transitioning
Does my team pay or conditions change?
No, we lift and shift their current employment benefits and conditions into a compliant agreement under TalentBridge.
Our team isn't in the Philippines. Can you still help?
Yes. Wherever your team is located, we handle the transition in line with local employment law, with payroll, contracts and benefits set up aligned to what they are currently receiving.
Can we transition part of the team first?
Yes. Many clients start by moving a few team members, then transition the rest once they're comfortable. We'll plan a timeline that suits you.
How long does a transition take?
Most transitions take about 4-8 weeks. We time the move around your current provider's notice period, or your payroll cycle if you engage your team directly, so there's no gap in employment or work.
We engage our offshore team directly as contractors. Why is that a risk?
The Fair Work Commission has ruled that offshore workers engaged as independent contractors can be found to be employees, depending on how the relationship works in practice.
If that happens, your business could face claims that only employees can make, such as unfair dismissal. Please seek independent legal advice to understand if this ruling applies to your situation.
