Why More Australian Business Owners Are Hiring Directly

Offshore hiring works.

But paying $3,000+ per month to an agency while your VA earns a fraction of that doesn’t always make sense.

If you have basic management capability, hiring directly gives you:

We help you do it properly.

What Does a Filipino VA Actually Cost?

For full-time entry- to mid-level roles:

$800–$2,000

Senior and executive roles are higher and discussed based on skill level and experience.

Understand the Offshore Agency Model.

Here's what many business owners discover:

VA earns

$700/mo

Business pays agency

$3,000 /mo

The agency promises management support. But when issues arise, they’re slow or unresponsive. Eventually, the business owner realises:

The VA is valuable.

The middle layer isn't.

Our Story Why We Built AWS

Alpha Workforce Solutions is a subsidiary of Alpha Technical Training.

When we started Alpha Technical Training, we had no investors. Hiring locally was expensive. Revenue wasn’t stable. Trying to do everything alone started affecting performance and health.

We explored offshore agencies charging $3,000 per month retainers and $2,500 onboarding fees. At that stage, it wasn’t realistic.

So we found the right way to hire directly from the Philippines. We hired our first 2 VAs. That allowed us to delegate admin work and stabilise operations.

Today, we have 20 offshore team members. We generate six-figure revenue. All because we made the first two hires.

We opened Alpha Workforce Solutions to help other Australian businesses scale their teams the same way — without unnecessary markups.
