Technology Elite - Build Your Elite IT Team
Run your own offshore technical team, inside our Philippines office, with your complete control. Top 5% of technical staff in Philippines. Next-generation social workplace. Australian owned. 20 years in MSP space. In 2023 (our 8th year of business) we grew to 400 staff across approximately 90 clients. Tech Elite provides a next-gen social workplace and 99.999% uptime connectivity for your technical or finance team, plus all the recruitment and HR support needed to run extremely effective teams outside of your home country. Our industry-leading recruitment systems are very effective at finding, testing and hiring the most highly skilled technical staff in the Philippines to work only for you. We have a simple flat fee for each employee on your team, to cover all our office and HR costs. Salaries are at cost price, with full transparency. Our company Directors are Australian & Filipino, with a combined 80 years of experience in all areas of technology including projects, training and staffing. Having run large and small businesses in Australia, we know your business pressures and requirements. We understand that without high productivity, low cost is pointless. The majority of our clients are Australian and US. We are only a 7-10 hour flight away from Australia, so onsite training visits with your team (or BY your team) are easy and encouraged. Our clients select and manage their staff directly, and in this way they control the quality of their staff output. Clients retain control, which makes this model similar to setting up another team onshore. Importantly, we provide consulting to every single client, to help you correct your offshoring strategy before you start. We will make sure that you succeed the first time. But don't take our word for it - talk to our clients about how we took offshoring from being a pipe-dream to being a core, effective and strong core of their business operations.
