Pricing FAQ
Pricing FAQ
What does the recruitment fee and monthly management cover?
The recruitment fee covers sourcing, shortlisting and placement. The first 3 months of transition management, payroll processing, Insightful time tracker setup, monthly HR check-in, your free replacement guarantee, and probationary HR support, are billed separately at $500 per person. From month 4, ongoing management runs $200 to $300 per month depending on support level. Salary, government contributions, and HMO are separate.
Is salary included in the management fee?
No. Salary is agreed upfront based on live Philippines market data and passed through to your team member at cost, zero markup, zero foreigner tax. You pay what the role is worth.
What are the government contribution costs?
SSS (~4.4%), PhilHealth (~2.5%), and Pag-IBIG contributions are standard Philippine statutory requirements. These are calculated on your team member's salary and passed through at cost.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. If the hire is not the right fit within the first 3 months, Resora replaces them at no extra cost. There are no lock-in terms.
How is Resora different from Deel or Remote?
Deel and Remote are legal wrappers only, $950 to $1,100 per person per month, no recruiting, no ongoing HR management. Resora recruits, employs, and manages, all three: a one-time recruitment fee, then ongoing management from $200/month.
What is the free replacement guarantee?
If your hire is not working in the first 3 months, Resora sources a replacement at no extra cost. On the Scale Premium plan, the replacement guarantee is free for one year.
