What is Manpower Outsourcing?
Manpower outsourcing agencies are external providers that supply and manage workers for specific situations which require agility and flexibility, such as project-based work or crisis response incidents.
Businesses utilising this service can deploy staff and scale their workforce up or down quickly. They also avoid having to navigate complex local labour laws themselves and do not incur the long-term commitments and overheads of direct employment.
Cost-Effectiveness: Avoid the long-term commitment and expenses of direct recruitment and in-house HR.
Flexibility: Easily scale teams up or down to meet project demands or urgent operational needs.
Operational Focus: Delegate HR administration to concentrate on core operations and service delivery.
Local Expertise: Providers manage payroll, compliance, and employee relations in line with local labour laws and practices.
Single Point of Contact: Streamline your SEA workforce engagements with one contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a manpower outsourcing agency and a recruitment firm?
A recruitment firm sources candidates for you, but their role ends once the candidate is hired, making you responsible for all the administration such as payroll, compliance, and HR management.
Manpower outsourcing, on the other hand, has the provider take care of everything as the legal employer of the staff. All you have to do is direct the work of the staff that they second to you, allowing you to focus on how they can help you get the job done.
2. How does outsourced manpower help with international expansion?
Outsourced manpower gives you immediate access to skilled workers in new markets without having to spend money and time building in-house teams. This allows you to scale quickly, stay locally compliant and focus on operations instead of worrying about HR and administration.
3. Is manpower outsourcing suitable for SMEs in Australia?
Yes. It’s a cost-effective way for SMEs to access regional talent in Southeast Asia, manage seasonal or project-based demand, and stay compliant without the overhead of setting up HR and payroll functions internally.
4. Do we need a local entity to hire in ASEAN?
Not with our manpower outsourcing service. We hire and manage staff locally on your behalf and handle employment, payroll and compliance for you. You only need to focus on directing the work.
5. Which countries are covered?
We currently cover Singapore, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.
6. How fast can we onboard?
Usually within a few days to a few weeks, depending on the market and role required.
7. How are fees structured?
Typically a monthly service fee per employee, plus salary and statutory benefits; optional add-ons are quoted separately.
8. Can outsourced staff move to our payroll later?
Yes. We can support a smooth transition to your own entity or an EOR/PEO model when you’re ready.
9. Do you support visa and permit applications?
Where eligible, yes, we can manage applications and renewals. Eligibility depends on role and jurisdiction.
