Offshore hiring works better when the structure is right.
Resora combines recruitment, employment, payroll, compliance and people support in one boutique model built for Australian businesses hiring in the Philippines.
Compare the options
Most options leave you holding part of the risk.
Direct contractor arrangements, high-cost global wrappers, and recruiter-only models all leave gaps. Resora is designed to close them.
Option 01
Direct Contractor
You carry the Fair Work risk.
Fair Work risk up to $93,900 AUD per breach.
Option 02
Global EOR
A legal wrapper, nothing more.
Deel / Remote: legal wrapper only, no recruiting or HR. $950–$1,100/mo
Option 03
Recruiter Only
They place, then disappear.
Places talent, then disappears. You hold employer responsibility.
The Resora Model
Recruited. Employed. Managed.
One accountable partner from $150/mo.
Zero Fair Work exposure. Salary at cost, no markup.

What makes Resora different
Built for Australian businesses, not built for everyone.
A boutique model with the structure, sourcing and support most offshore providers can’t deliver.
One Accountable Employer
Single legal employer, one call, one point of accountability. No finger-pointing, no handoff gaps.
Fair Work Protection by Design
B2B contract structure is the foundation. You are Resora’s client, not the employer.
Recruit + Employ + Manage
All three under one roof. Most providers only do one. Resora does all three from $150/month.
Market Rate Advisory
Every role benchmarked against live PH market data. $0 markup on salary, no foreigner tax.
Free Replacement Guarantee
First 3 months on most plans. Unlimited on Scale Premium. Backed by Resora’s own sourcing.
Boutique Scale
Limited client numbers. You are known by name, not a ticket number.
AI-Ready Talent
Candidates actively screened for ChatGPT, Zapier, Notion, and CRM proficiency.
The Compliance Shield
Pascua v Doessel made the risk real. Resora makes it disappear.
Fair Work Commission ruled in 2024 that an offshore contractor working set hours under direction was legally an employee. Penalties up to $93,900 AUD per breach.
Without Resora: You carry the risk
You engage a Filipino contractor directly, you are the de-facto employer. Fair Work may classify them as an employee. Fines up to $93,900 AUD per breach.
With Resora: Resora carries it
You engage Resora under a B2B service contract. Resora is the legal employer. Zero Fair Work liability for your business; all employer responsibility sits with us.
Who carries the risk?
Same hire. Very different exposure.
A side-by-side view of where the responsibility actually sits in each model. No fearmongering, just the operational reality.
