The fastest-growing startups aren't waiting on local hiring. They're building offshore teams of engineers, developers, accountants, analysts, sales reps and more - giving them the runway to move faster and compete bigger.
"We built Pear Tree for founders who want to move fast, stay lean, and put more money into the product - not the payroll."
Every rate is paid directly to the talent. One placement fee from us. No ongoing margin. Day One listeners get 20% off the first placement.
A 35-person Melbourne SaaS adds an offshore Full-Stack Developer, a Marketer, and an Accountant. Local all-in: ~$330,000/year. Pear Tree all-in: ~$68,400/year.
That's two more growth hires the business couldn't otherwise afford.
Map where an offshore hire unlocks your next stage of growth. 30 minutes with one of our founders. We'll model the roles, the all-in cost, and tell you honestly if you're ready. If you're not, we'll say so.
Send us your current monthly invoice. We'll show you, line by line, what the agency is taking, what your talent is actually being paid, and what the same hire would cost direct. No obligation either way.
Either path → 20% off your first placement when you hire within 90 days.
Hiring offshore is easy. Hiring the right person is hard. Here's how we make sure every candidate in your shortlist is someone you'd actually hire - industry-experience, task-tested, and interviewed like they were joining our team.
Step 1
Tailored Search.
We promote your role across 20+ platforms and tap into our talent pool of over 10,000 candidates. Expect 200–400 applicants.
Step 2
Review.
We shortlist candidates with experience supporting Australian or NZ firms, proven work history, and strong written English.
Step 3
Skill Evaluation.
Video response - you see how they communicate before you ever speak to them.
Step 4
Practical Test.
A real practical task. Document control exercise. We only forward candidates who pass.
Step 5
Our Interview.
We interview them like we're hiring for our own business. Only the best 3–4 make it to you.
Step 6
You Choose & We Onboard.
You interview your shortlist, pick your hire, and we handle contracts, IT setup, and compliance. Usually live for 2 weeks.
Agencies sit between you and the talent - they take a margin on the wages, every month, forever. Pear Tree is direct hire. One-time placement fee, no bloated agency fees and you know exactly how much goes into the talents back pocket.
Industry retention is around 60%. Ours is 90% at 12 months - because the talent is paid 2–4× what an agency would pay them, and they work for one employer, not a rotating client roster.
The Philippines is ranked #2 in Asia for English proficiency (EF EPI 2025). Every shortlisted candidate records a video response - you judge their communication before you ever speak to them.
Wage theft became a criminal offence in Australia in January 2025. Our EOR / Contractor of Record structure from $400/month is built specifically for the new rules. Contracts are lawyer-reviewed.
6-month replacement guarantee at no extra cost. Most replacements we run are for business changes, not bad hires.
What your outsourcing agency isn't telling you. A short PDF breaking down what offshore staffing agencies actually charge - and how much of your monthly fee never reaches your team member. Real examples. Real numbers.
