RunRemote

RunRemote is a recruitment and executive search firm headquartered in Sydney, Australia, that specialises in connecting Australian businesses with top-tier remote professionals from the Philippines. Established in 2023, the company was founded by a team with over a decade of experience in building successful startups and assembling effective global teams, having learned valuable lessons from their own past hiring challenges. This foundational experience inspired them to create a service that helps other businesses avoid similar pitfalls and leverage the maximum potential of overseas talent.

The core of RunRemote's offering is its commitment to finding the 'top 1% of talent'. They achieve this through a rigorous and robust screening process, which includes in-depth assessments of English language proficiency, communication skills, personality traits, and general abilities such as problem-solving and time management. This stringent vetting results in a highly selective 1% acceptance rate for candidates, ensuring clients receive only the most exceptional individuals. RunRemote streamlines the hiring process by sourcing, thoroughly vetting, and interviewing candidates to present a concise shortlist of qualified professionals, typically completing placements within three to four weeks.

What truly differentiates RunRemote from traditional recruitment agencies and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) models is its transparent and direct employment approach. Unlike models that often act as intermediaries with recurring marked-up rates, RunRemote ensures that hired talent is directly employed by the client, allowing candidates to receive 100% of their salary and fostering a direct relationship between employer and employee. The company charges a one-time success fee based on the new hire's annual remuneration package, with no ongoing fees, making the cost structure predictable and often significantly more affordable, with estimated payroll savings of up to 70% compared to onshore hiring. Additionally, RunRemote provides ongoing support and a 90-day guarantee, offering clients peace of mind and a commitment to successful placements.

RunRemote serves a diverse clientele, including startups, scaleups, and bootstrapped businesses across various industries, enabling them to build high-performing teams cost-effectively and achieve capital-efficient growth. They have successfully placed talent for notable businesses such as 99 Bikes and Bailey Nelson. The firm covers a broad spectrum of roles, including positions in sales and marketing, operations, finance, customer experience, human resources, and design, among others. This comprehensive service offering, combined with their focus on quality, cost savings, and direct employment, positions RunRemote as a strategic partner for businesses seeking to expand their capabilities with global talent.
