Hire skilled Filipino talent direct — no agency, no markup
OnlineJobs.ph is a direct-hire marketplace, not a staffing agency. You browse over two million candidate profiles, interview who you like, and pay your hire directly — with no percentage cut going to the platform. Here's how it actually works, and how the cost compares to hiring locally.
Founded 2008 · used by small businesses and entrepreneurs, not just large teams.
What roles typically cost
Illustrative monthly ranges compiled from published sources. Pick a role — actual rates depend on experience and what you negotiate directly.
Ranges are directional estimates for comparison purposes, not a quote or guarantee. Your actual cost depends on role scope, experience level, and the rate you agree with your hire.
Three steps, entirely on your terms
Search or post
Browse profiles by skill, or post a role and let candidates come to you. No recruiter picks the shortlist for you — you see everyone.
Interview and hire direct
Message and interview candidates yourself. When you find the right person, you agree on pay and terms directly — nothing routed through the platform.
Pay and manage on your terms
Part-time, full-time, hourly or salaried — you set it. You pay your hire directly, so there's no ongoing commission taken out of their wage.
What you're actually paying for
You pay your hire, not an agency
There's no percentage skimmed off your specialist's pay. What you negotiate is what they receive.
A large, searchable talent pool
Filter by skill, rate, availability, and English proficiency — the Philippines is one of the largest English-speaking remote workforces in the world.
Part-time, full-time, or project-based
You decide the arrangement. There's no minimum commitment forced by the platform.
Direct communication, start to finish
No account manager standing between you and the person doing the work. You interview, onboard, and manage them yourself.
Who this is actually a good fit for
Good fit if you're willing to —
- Run your own screening, interviews, and onboarding
- Hire for an ongoing role, not a one-off task
- Manage the working relationship yourself, long-term
- Invest a bit of upfront time to find the right person
Consider alternatives if you —
- Want a fully vetted, pre-matched candidate
- Need a single small task done once
- Prefer a managed agency to handle HR and compliance
- Have no time at all to review applicants yourself

Is OnlineJobs.ph an agency?
No. It's a job marketplace — you browse candidate profiles yourself, interview whoever you like, and hire directly. The platform doesn't screen candidates for you or place itself between you and your hire.
How do I pay my hire?
You pay them directly, using whatever method you agree on together (bank transfer, PayPal, Wise, etc.). There's no escrow or per-transaction fee taken by the platform.
Does the platform take a cut of my hire's salary?
No — the model is built around a flat subscription for access to the marketplace, not a commission on wages.

What we publish
Cost comparisons, walkthroughs of the hiring process, and honest notes on who the platform is — and isn't — a good fit for. We update figures periodically, but always label them as estimates rather than guarantees, since actual rates depend on the role and what you negotiate directly with your hire.

The relationship
Remote Roster is an independent website. We are not owned by, employed by, or officially affiliated with OnlineJobs.ph as a company. We participate in their public affiliate (referral) program, which is open to anyone.
How we're compensated
Some links on this site — including the "Visit OnlineJobs.ph" buttons and other links to onlinejobs.ph — are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and sign up for a paid OnlineJobs.ph plan, we may receive a commission on that subscription, for as long as you remain a paying customer.
We are not able to see or access your account, your payment details, or any information about the people you hire. Our only visibility is aggregate referral and commission data provided by OnlineJobs.ph's affiliate system.
Editorial independence
We only recommend products and services we believe are genuinely useful to the people reading this site. Compensation does not change the substance of what we write — but it's a real financial incentive, and we think you deserve to know about it before you click through.
Cost comparisons and figures on this site are illustrative estimates intended to help you reason about the decision, not quotes, guarantees, or a promise of savings. Actual costs depend on the role, experience level, and the rate you personally negotiate with a hire.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), as well as Google's advertiser policies on identity and business transparency. If a monetized link appears anywhere on this site without a nearby disclosure, please treat this page as the disclosure of record and let us know so we can fix it.
