The Hidden Cost of Hiring Yourself

- You're the bad cop when conflicts arise or performance issues need addressing

Case Study
Difficulty Finding Reliable Staff Solved with Philippine Hires
Shortlisted Applicants: 14
Hired Team Members: 3
1 Year Turnover Rate: 0%
A Canadian retail company needed staff to handle complex back-office work that required significant training.
They struggled to find qualified local hires within budget. The candidates they did hire made frequent mistakes and typically left within six months. This forced the company to restart the hiring and training process again and again.
We stepped in and, within weeks, recruited college educated professionals from the Philippines. During our screening process we focused heavily on stability, work ethic, and long term mindset.
They were able to fully grasp the training and responsibilities. The result was a dependable team without the flakiness. One year later, every hire was still with the company.
Lower costs, higher competency, and zero turnover. A true win-win-win.
Case Study
Scaling an AI-Driven Team Without VA Chaos
Current Team Size (3 yrs. later): 20
Voluntary Resignations: 3
Client Time Recruiting: 0 Minutes
A digital marketing company was expanding its use of AI in its content creation department and needed to scale quickly without friction.
We handled sourcing, screening, interviewing, skills testing, and hiring. They defined the roles and we built the team. The client spent zero time recruiting.
What began as a controlled test with 5 hires scaled steadily as the business grew. Three years later, the team stands at 20.
Over that period, only 3 team members chose to leave voluntarily. There were no sudden departures and no ghosting. The core team remains in place today.
Why Businesses Trust Me
Since starting this business in 2010, I’ve learned what actually makes remote hiring work and what makes it fall apart.
I spent years living in the Philippines, getting to know the culture and the people firsthand.
That understanding shapes everything from who I choose to hire to how I handle conflicts when they come up.
It’s the difference between keeping 95% of your team and constantly replacing people every few months.
That’s why I’ve been invited to speak at conferences on remote hiring, and why businesses trust me when they want to build teams that actually last.

“Working with Gibas Associates has amounted to peace of mind for us here at Podcast Hawk.
After spending years trying to run a team in the Philippines ourselves, directly, and facing all the challenges of doing that…
We are lucky to have found a company that does all of it for us!”
“Working with Gibas Associates has allowed me to finally get my YouTube channel and podcast off the ground.
It’s been exciting to finally be able to focus on booking guests and asking them good questions, rather than chasing down unreliable freelancers for the status of the last episode…

Frequently Asked Questions
Those are job boards. Job boards are great at providing candidates, but knowing who to pick is the key.
We’re a full-service boutique agency. With more than 15 years of experience, we’ve developed a process that will allow us to screen good-fit candidates for you every time.
You’re not just getting access to candidates… When you work with us, you’ll be getting the right ones for the job that will stick around for the long haul.
If someone isn’t working out, we will find someone who will at no extra cost. And help you get it seamlessly done without you needing to waste your time doing it.
We perform basic background checks as well as criminal background checks. We also keep on file their real identity papers to ensure they are traceable. But indeed, we have not had any incidents so far.
Most clients never know. Their English proficiency is that good. We specifically avoid the red flags that lead to communication issues.
Yes, we have to charge a markup to cover our expenses of doing the hiring and providing the ongoing services. But we’re also saving you 100s of hours from doing this & taking away your headaches…
Plus, we’re making sure you’re getting the best hires that stick around for the budget. What’s your peace of mind worth?
That’s a good question. In fact, that’s what precisely makes our incentives aligned with yours. That’s because both of us benefit from the employee we pick sticking around in their job.
This is different from recruiting agencies that hire for a one off fee. Their interest is to just place bodies and collect their fee, without regard to if the employees even work out later.
The short answer? No. The long answer? Nooooooo.
Kidding aside, we’ve even experimented with AI to see if it can screen resumes as well as us. It definitely can help speed things up, but its judgment is not as good as a regular human’s… Even when you train it.
That’s because the technology is just not good enough to consider a lot of subjective factors.
And it certainly cannot do a vibe check, which is actually an important part of the process to make sure you get somebody who fits well on the team.
