Jeff Meyer, our founder, was drowning in his own business. He needed help, but hiring full-time local employees wasn't just expensive—it was increasingly difficult to find the right skills.
The problem was bigger than cost. It was about talent.
Recent studies confirm this stark picture:
According to a 2019 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, only 56.8% of employers rated recent graduates as proficient in critical thinking/problem-solving skills.
The World Economic Forum's 2020 Future of Jobs Report found that 50% of all employees will need reskilling by 2025 due to the adoption of new technologies.
A 2018 Deloitte study revealed that 2.4 million jobs could go unfilled between 2018 and 2028 due to a skills gap.
Jeff needed skilled professionals, and he found them—in the Philippines.
These weren't just cheaper alternatives.
They were highly-educated, loyal, hard-working, English-speaking professionals who delivered quality work.
Many held advanced degrees and possessed the critical thinking and technical skills Jeff's business needed.
Suddenly, Jeff could breathe again. He could focus on growing his business instead of just keeping it afloat.
That's when it hit him. If this solved his problem, it could solve other small business owners' problems too.
