Remote Talent Solutions — built on 23+ years across 5 markets
Geographic wage arbitrage works when the employment relationship is handled properly. Every remote professional you engage through People Profilers — whether a software engineer in Ho Chi Minh City, an operations coordinator in Kuala Lumpur, a finance analyst in Bangkok, or a customer support specialist in Jakarta — is fully employed by our local People Profilers entity in that country. That means locally compliant employment contracts, locally administered payroll and statutory contributions, and a single monthly invoice to you covering the full cost of engagement — typically at a fraction of an equivalent Singapore-based hire. Built on our 5-market presence since 2002, with the operational discipline of a Singapore HR group, not a generic offshore staffing platform.
How our monthly engagement works
Every remote talent engagement is billed at a single monthly rate per professional, calculated to cover salary, all local statutory contributions in the talent's country of employment, our employment-administration service, and country-specific compliance overhead. One invoice, one currency (SGD), one point of contact. Engagement length and notice period documented in the engagement letter before onboarding.

When Remote Talent Solutions makes sense
RTS fits employers who want named individuals integrated into their existing team — at lower regional cost than Singapore-based hires. Three patterns we see most often.
Lower cost on an existing function
Your admin desk, customer support team, or finance ops function is becoming expensive at Singapore wage levels — and attrition isn't helping. RTS lets you keep the function running with the same operational ownership, but with the headcount based in a lower-cost SEA market.
Scale capacity without scaling SG salary band
Add engineering, support, or operations capacity to your team without adding to the Singapore headcount or the Singapore wage bill. New hires integrate into your existing workflows, tools, and rituals — they just happen to sit in HCMC, KL, Bangkok, or Jakarta.
Reduce attrition exposure with managed regional employment
High churn on transactional roles is expensive — recruitment time, training time, lost institutional knowledge. We employ, retain, and manage the staff in-country, so churn is our problem to absorb, not yours. You see a stable seat; we handle continuity behind it.
RTS is for clients who want named individuals integrated into their team at lower regional cost. If you want to hand the entire function over to us with SLA-driven delivery instead of named individuals, see our BPO Services.

Frequently asked questions
Who employs the remote talent?
Each remote professional is employed by the local People Profilers entity in their country of residence — People Profilers Services Vietnam Company Limited for Vietnam-based talent, People Profilers (Services) Sdn. Bhd. for Malaysia-based talent, People Profilers Bangkok Recruitment Co., Ltd. for Thailand-based talent, and PT People Profilers Indonesia for Indonesia-based talent.
You contract with us in Singapore through People Profilers (Services) Pte. Ltd. We handle local employment compliance — contracts, payroll, statutory contributions — end-to-end across all four markets.
How is Remote Talent Solutions different from BPO Services?
Both services have People Profilers as the legal employer of the staff delivering the work. The difference is process ownership and how you engage with those staff.
Remote Talent Solutions gives you named individuals integrated into your team. You see their names, you direct their day-to-day priorities, they onboard into your tools and workflows. They become part of your team in everything except the employment contract (which sits with our local PP entity for compliance). Pricing is per-head, billed monthly in SGD. RTS suits employers who want to reduce labour cost on a function they already run by using geographic arbitrage (hiring in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, or Thailand) while keeping operational control in-house.
BPO Services transfers an entire recurring function to People Profilers. We take ownership of the process — staffing it, managing it, delivering to documented SLAs and reporting monthly KPIs. You don't see or manage individual staff; you receive outcomes. Pricing is per-process or per-cycle. BPO suits employers who want to hand a function over completely — reception coverage, document admin, payroll, customer support — rather than supplement their existing team with named hires.
If you want named individuals on your team at lower regional cost, take RTS. If you want a function delivered with SLAs and no day-to-day involvement in the people, take BPO. Both run under the same legal entity (People Profilers (Services) Pte. Ltd., UEN 201009036N) — we can also start one way and evolve the engagement as your needs change.
How is the monthly rate calculated?
The monthly rate per remote professional covers salary, all local statutory contributions in the talent's country of employment (social insurance, tax, severance accruals — varies by country), local employment-administration service, and our service margin.
One single rate invoiced in SGD. No separate invoices for statutory costs, no FX surprises, no co-employment exposure for your business.
What about English communication levels?
All remote professionals presented are English-speaking and pre-screened for the communication level your role requires. We don't claim native fluency — instead we match the role to verified communication capability through shortlist interviews.
Roles requiring native-level English are best served by Singapore-based talent through our Contract Staffing or General Recruitment practices.
How quickly can you deploy remote professionals?
For most operations and support roles, four to six weeks from brief to start date, including local employment contract setup. Specialist or senior roles may extend longer depending on candidate availability in the target market.
At briefing we share an indicative timeline aligned to the role and country, and stay in close contact as candidates progress.
