Crafty Simon is an Australian business founded by two Filipino-Australians with firsthand experience both as remote professionals and as business owners in Australia.
Having worked on both sides of the remote working relationship, we understand what businesses need and what talents need to thrive. Today, we help small and medium businesses access qualified remote talents in the Philippines through a structured and professionally managed service model.
Yes — all our talents are engaged as independent contractors under Philippine law. Each one has a clear written agreement that outlines their responsibilities, scope of work, and payment terms.

No — when you work with Crafty Simon, your business engages us as a service provider rather than acting as a direct overseas employer. We manage the local contractor engagement and compliance side within the Philippines, helping provide a more structured and compliant arrangement for Australian businesses.

You absolutely can — and for some businesses, that may be the right approach. However, identifying the right talent and setting up a reliable remote working arrangement often requires significant time, effort, and careful screening.
At Crafty Simon, we manage this process for you through multiple layers of recruitment and assessment, which may include interviews, questionnaires and declarations, online assessments, and character reference checks. This helps save you time, reduce hiring risk, and give you greater confidence in the talent you bring into your business.
Online platforms and marketplaces can be a useful starting point, but they often leave both remote talents and businesses to manage the risks of screening, trust, and working arrangements on their own.
Crafty Simon provides a more secure and professionally managed alternative. We take steps to verify the legitimacy of the businesses we work with, giving talents greater peace of mind, while also carefully screening talents to help ensure they are genuinely skilled, reliable, and suitable for client work. This helps reduce common issues such as non-payment, ghosting, poor fit, and misrepresentation.
Traditional call centres are often built with larger overheads, layered management, and heavier admin structures, which can lead to higher client costs and lower take-home pay for talents.
Crafty Simon operates through a leaner and more personalised service model, allowing businesses to access qualified remote talents more cost-effectively while ensuring a greater share of their investment goes directly to the talent. This creates better value for both clients and the professionals who support them.
Yes. We work closely with you to align your remote talent's schedule with your business requirements. While our talents operate with flexibility, we ensure there is sufficient overlap with your preferred working hours to support communication, accountability, and day-to-day operations. This approach also helps keep them happy, motivated, and productive.
We maintain a fair model by keeping our admin costs lean, ensuring that most of what clients invest goes directly to the talent. We also handle timely and transparent payments, with talents paid based on actual hours worked and no hidden fees or deductions. This helps create a healthy working relationship and supports long-term retention.
We are an Australian business with a fully registered Philippine company, allowing us to operate in accordance with relevant commercial and tax regulations in both countries. This means:
- We manage local Philippine compliance, including registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)
- Our talents are engaged under Philippine law, providing a structured and compliant contractor arrangement for overseas clients

Remote work has been a well-established business model for many years and is used not only by small businesses, but also by multinational companies across a wide range of functions — including engineering, legal, IT, and finance.
Many remote roles involve backend, administrative, or specialist functions that are well suited to offsite arrangements, while many other roles are still best performed locally and onsite. By reducing overheads and increasing operational capacity, remote support can help businesses scale more effectively — which can also create more opportunities for local hiring as the business grows.
Yes. We take data privacy and security seriously and handle all information in line with the Philippine Data Privacy Act. We use secure, cloud-based systems and implement safeguards such as two-factor authentication to protect access.
Access to data is strictly limited to authorised team members, and clients also have the flexibility to manage user access and permissions based on their preferences. In addition, all our talents are required to sign non-disclosure agreements to ensure confidentiality at all times.
We only collect and share information on a need-to-know basis, so your data remains protected and handled responsibly.
We don’t just hire anyone. Every role is filled based on the specific skills, experience, and qualities your business requires.
We help small and medium businesses by providing:
- Carefully matched talents aligned to your role requirements
- Reliable remote support without the complexity of hiring overseas directly
- Peace of mind knowing your talents are well supported and your offshore hiring process is managed compliantly
You focus on growing your business—we’ll take care of the rest.
Getting started is simple:
- Tell us what you need
- We source and shortlist qualified Philippine talents based on your requirements
- You choose the right fit and we take care of the rest — including contracts, compliance, and payments
