Hire with CoWorq A product of CoWorq · a Team Architecture Company
Your HR Business Partner

Hire in the Philippines with an HR partner behind you.

You already know the role you need filled. We build the infrastructure that lets you outsource ethically, equitably, and effectively — sourcing, vetting, contracts, payroll, benefits, and the HR layer that keeps it compliant.

No org-chart exercise, no structural diagnosis. That's the parent brand's job. This is the seat — defined properly, filled properly, and supported long after day one.

The entry product

The Seat Design Call.

Forty-five minutes on one seat. We turn "I need help with marketing" into a role a real person can be held to — outcome, scorecard, salary band, and a shortlist plan.

What you walk away with
One seat, defined
The single outcome this person owns, written down — not a wishlist of twelve tasks.
A scorecard
What "doing this job well" looks like at 30, 60, and 90 days.
A salary band
What this role actually costs in the Philippine market — ethical, not rock-bottom.
A sourcing plan
Where we'll look, what we'll screen for, and your shortlist timeline.
The call is yours to keep. If you take the definition and hire on your own, that's a fine outcome — you'll just hire better than you would have.

Seat Design Call
We define the seat: one outcome, a scorecard, a salary band, and a sourcing plan.

Step 03Week 2–3
You interview, you choose
We hand you a shortlist of 3–5. You run the final interviews and make the call — it's your team.
Step 04Week 3–4
Onboard
Contracts, payroll setup, equipment check, health allowance, and a documented first-90-days plan.
OngoingMonthly
We stay as your HR partner
Payroll, statutory benefits, HR check-ins, retention, and reviews — so the hire holds.
What an HR Business Partner is — and isn't

We own the HR. You own the work.

This is the honest version of the relationship — the part most outsourcing companies leave vague on purpose. Read it before you book.

CoWorq owns
Recruiting & vetting
Sourcing, skills screening, background and reference checks against the scorecard we built with you.
Employment & payroll
Contracts, semi-monthly payroll, statutory contributions, health allowance, 13th-month pay.
HR administration
Leave, timekeeping, disciplinary process, offboarding, and local labour compliance.
Retention & care
People Relations check-ins, engagement, and a replacement search if the seat opens up.
You own
The work itself
Day-to-day direction, priorities, tools, and approvals. They work inside your business, on your systems.
The hiring decision
We shortlist. You interview and choose. Nobody is assigned to you sight-unseen.
Training on your process
We bring vetted capability. Your SOPs, your product knowledge, your standards.
Performance outcomes
You manage against the scorecard. We support the process — we don't do the managing for you.
Plainly stated
We are your HR Business Partner. We do not guarantee, certify, or warrant the services, output, or performance of any Remote Professional.

Remote Professionals are people, not products — so we won't pretend otherwise. What we stand behind is our own work: a documented vetting process, a compliant employment relationship, honest pay, and an HR layer that acts fast when something isn't working. Direction, supervision, and acceptance of the work stay with you, and performance is measured against the scorecard we build together. If a placement isn't working, we run the replacement search — that's the HR partner's job.

Why ethical matters to you, not just to them

Underpaid people leave. Retention is the whole product.

The cheapest offshore hire is the one you replace twice. We pay above market, employ people properly, and treat benefits as non-negotiable — which is why seats stay filled and your process knowledge stays in the building.

Real employment, not gig contracts — with statutory benefits and 13th-month pay.
Transparent split: you always know what goes to the person and what goes to us.
A People Relations Manager they can go to before a problem reaches you.
We don't place workers. We build teams — and we do it alongside you.

The scale-up path

When one seat isn't the question anymore.

Hire with CoWorq is the front door. Once you can name a specific 12–18 month milestone and you're asking what the whole team should look like, you've outgrown seat-by-seat hiring — that's a CoWorq Team Architecture Session. Same company, same people, bigger design.

CoWorq acts as your HR Business Partner. We do not guarantee, certify, or warrant the services, output, or performance of any Remote Professional.
FAQ

The questions we get on every call.

Something not covered? Ask on the Seat Design Call — it's a conversation, not a pitch.

It means CoWorq is accountable for the employment relationship and the HR machinery around it — recruiting, vetting, contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, leave, discipline, retention, offboarding — while you direct the actual work. We are not a services vendor delivering an output, and we don't guarantee, certify, or warrant a Remote Professional's services or performance. What we stand behind is our own work: a documented vetting process, compliant and honest employment, and an HR layer that moves quickly when something isn't right.
You do. You set priorities, approve work, and hold them to the scorecard we built together on the Seat Design Call. On our side, a People Relations Manager runs HR check-ins and escalations, and we'll join a performance conversation whenever you want us there — but supervision and acceptance of the work stay with you.
Tell us early. We review it against the scorecard, run an HR process if the issue is conduct or attendance, and if it's the wrong fit we run the replacement search — that's included. What we won't do is promise a specific performance result upfront; people aren't products, and a guarantee like that would be dishonest.
It's credited toward your first placement. If you decide not to hire through us, the definition, scorecard, and salary band are still yours to keep and hire against on your own.
Book the free 30-minute discovery call. It's a conversation, not a pitch — bring the messy version of the problem and we'll tell you straight whether a Seat Design Call is the right next step, whether Team Architecture fits better, or whether we're not the right partner at all.
They're properly employed through CoWorq in the Philippines — with statutory contributions, a health allowance, and 13th-month pay. You get a single monthly invoice in USD and no foreign payroll exposure.
Full-time (40 hrs/week, US hours) is the default and the strongest arrangement for retention. Part-time from 20 hrs/week works for specialist seats — bookkeeping, development, medical or legal support — and is quoted per role.
Three months, then month-to-month. The first 90 days are where onboarding, process training, and the scorecard rhythm get established — anything shorter sets the seat up to fail.
Hire with CoWorq fills a seat you can already name ($749 Seat Design Call). Team Architecture designs the whole team when you can name a 12–18 month milestone but not the org chart that gets you there ($1,249 Session). Most clients enter here and scale up as they grow.
Service-based businesses mostly: home services, med spas, clinics, agencies, coaches and consultants, e-commerce, real estate, finance, and law firms. If we haven't filled your exact role before, we'll say so on the call.
Not by accident. By design.

A Team Architecture Company. We design, deploy, and manage the team your business needs to scale.
