Built by Kiwis.
For Kiwi
businesses.
We started Outshore because Kiwi businesses deserve better than DIY offshore hiring.
The origin
How Outshore started.
Matthew ran a digital agency, Netbloom, in Otago. Finding good talent locally meant paying out of pocket before the revenue was there to justify it. So he built an offshore team in the Philippines instead.
The results were immediate. The DIY hiring route wasn't. Hundreds of applications, ghosted hires, inflated CVs. It cost him weeks before he built a recruitment process that actually worked.
Other Kiwi business owners saw what offshore talent was doing for Netbloom and asked Matthew to find VAs for them too. That grew into Outshore. His sister Molly came on board as Team Success Manager and turned out to be brilliant at recruiting.
Today we run that same process for NZ businesses across the country.
The mission
Helping Kiwi businesses grow without the grind.
We pair NZ founders with quality Filipino talent and handle everything in between, so they can focus on the work that matters and hire locally when they're ready.
Our values, in plain English.
People first.
We pay fairly, support generously, and invest in growth. Happy people do brilliant work.
