Transparent Pricing. No Hidden Fees That Build Up.
Most offshore providers look affordable at first, then slowly layer in extra costs. Security add-ons. Equipment upgrades. Compliance fees.
It adds up, and it’s rarely clear upfront.
Staff Domain’s pricing is fully transparent and bundled into one predictable monthly investment. No hidden fees. No unexpected surprises. Just a complete offshore operating system, designed so you can plan with confidence and focus on growing your business.
How Building Your Team Works
- Week 1-2: Discovery
We learn about your business, the roles you need, what success looks like, and how offshore team members will integrate with your existing operations.
- Week 2-4: Recruitment
Our team runs a dedicated search using our Grit Filter methodology. This screens for technical skills, communication ability, adaptability, and cultural fit. You’ll typically see 3-5 shortlisted candidates per role.
- Week 3-4: Selection
You interview candidates via video call and make the final hiring decision. These are your hires—we facilitate, but you choose.
- Week 4-5: Onboarding
Your new team member starts. They’re set up with equipment, system access, and initial orientation. Your Client Success Manager coordinates the transition.
- Ongoing: Support and Success
Your CSM maintains regular check-ins, helps resolve issues, and supports your team’s development. We handle payroll, benefits, and compliance. You focus on the work.

Why Staff Domain
We built Staff Domain because we saw companies frustrated with offshore staffing that didn’t work. Either they got BPO-style service (no control, high turnover) or they tried to figure it out themselves (compliance nightmares, poor recruitment).
What Makes Us Different
Australian-led operations
Our headquarters are in Sydney. Our CEO, Justin Pavsic, is
based in Manila. When leadership lives the reality, decisions improve.
Recruitment included
We don’t expect you to find candidates. We run a full recruitment
process tailored to your specific needs—not pulling from a generic pool.

Physical facilities
Real offices in Ortigas, Alabang, Clark, and Cebu. 24/7 security,
biometric access, CCTV monitoring.
3-month guarantee
If a hire doesn’t work out within three months, we recruit a replacement at no additional cost.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What roles can I hire offshore in the Philippines?
Almost any knowledge work: finance and accounting, software development, IT support, customer service, sales development, marketing, graphic design, video editing, HR, recruitment, and specialised functions like construction estimating and BIM. If it can be done on a computer, it can likely be done offshore.
How much does it cost to build an offshore team?
Fully loaded costs typically range from $1,000-$5,000 AUD per person per month depending on role and seniority. This includes salary, benefits, equipment, facilities, and support. Most companies save 60-75% compared to equivalent local hiring.
How quickly can I build my team?
Most clients have their first hire working within four weeks. Timeline includes discovery (1-2 weeks), recruitment (2-3 weeks), and onboarding (1 week). Complex or senior roles may take longer.
Do I manage offshore staff directly?
What's the minimum team size?
We typically work with companies building teams of 3+ people. If you need just one or two people, we can discuss whether our model fits your situation.
What equipment do offshore staff receive?
Every team member receives professional equipment: Dell Core i5 PC (or laptop), dual monitors, noise-cancelling headset, webcam, and ergonomic chair. No shared workstations or bring-your-own-device.
What if a hire doesn't work out?
We offer a 3-month replacement guarantee. If a hire doesn’t meet expectations within the first three months, we recruit a replacement at no additional cost.
Can I visit my offshore team?
Yes. We encourage clients to visit. Our facilities in Ortigas, Alabang, Clark, and Cebu are open for client visits, and we can help coordinate your trip.
How do I train offshore team members?
The same way you’d train any remote employee: video calls, screen sharing, documentation, and regular check-ins. For SD Summit clients, our Dual-Stream Integration programme provides structured training for both offshore staff and onshore managers.
What about data security?
We operate ISO 27001-aligned security protocols. Physical security includes 24/7 guards, CCTV, and biometric access. Technical security includes BitLocker encryption, disabled USB ports, and network monitoring. We’ll work with your IT team to implement any additional controls your policies require.
