Offshore Staff vs a Local Hire in Australia | The Real Cost
What a local hire really costs once super, leave, payroll tax and recruitment are counted, compared with a managed offshore professional from AUD $12 an hour.
Is offshore staffing cheaper than hiring locally in Australia?
Usually, yes. On top of salary, a local hire carries the 12 percent superannuation guarantee, paid leave, workers compensation, payroll tax in many cases, recruitment costs, equipment and desk space. A managed Isla professional is one hourly rate from AUD $12 to $18 with recruitment, payroll and management included, and many clients reduce employment costs by up to 70 percent.
Do I pay super for an offshore professional?
No. Your professional is employed by Isla in the Philippines, and their pay and benefits are covered by the hourly rate.
Will I still manage their work?
Yes. You set the work and priorities day to day. Isla manages everything behind the person.
