Can you really find good outsourced staff at $250-300 per month?

3 replies
In several threads on this forum people talk about hiring staff (in the Philippines mainly but maybe in India) for $250-300 per month.

I have 45 staff including over 20 in the Philippines. $300 per month is quite low to get GOOD staff members in my opinion (around 13,000 pesos). It's very low for the main city in the Philippines (Manila) and it's ok for other cities, but usually more difficult to get really high quality people. Yes there are lots of people willing to work for $250 per month in the Philippines but usually their English is not that great, and their skills etc are limited. For some staff yes I've done it, but mostly need to pay more. I want to know from people who have actually done it, have you found good staff for $300 or do you pay more like $400-600 or even higher like $1000 for good programmers and other great quality staff.

Here are examples of threads that talk about hiring people for $300 per month or less:

    Staff of 40! sounds like you should be giving the rest of us tips.

    Those lowest pay workers are probably the train as needed types picked up through Craig's List to do articles and seo, yea English would be my biggest prerequisite.

    I understand bestjobs.ph locked out American employers. I believe the replacemyself.com guy started his own? counterpart: OnlineJobs.ph

    I just glanced though a couple of pages of Employer ads at bestjobs.ph under Arts_Design_Media_jobs, here are some of the few that quoted salaries that should give an idea of the going rates:

    assistant that is very computer literate Salary: $1000 month
    Web Developer (Adobe Business Catalyst) Salary: PHP 20000 to PHP 60000
    Joomla Developer and Designer Salary: 30,000 +
    Graphic Designer 10,000-12,000/Month
    HTML5 Web Developer Needed Salary: 21,650 PHP
    Wordpress & PHP Developer Salary: 14,000+ - 20,000+
    Affiliate Marketing Specialist (PPC, CPA, CPV) Salary: up to Php40,000

    I just ran across freelanceswitch.com, looks like an important forum for employers and workers.

    You pay for the quality you get! So if you think you could get quality work for that price go for it! I would just test them for a month and see.
