Can outsourced talent perform the tasks at the level that I require?

The short answer is: yes. The Philippines, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Macedonia, and Colombia are rife with outsourcing and nearshoring talent, catering to almost any industry that can be outsourced, from finance to healthcare, and more.

We go out into the market to recruit specifically for your requirements once we have a full understanding of the role, the tools required to perform the role, and how the role is managed and fit into your organization.

Because you are selecting the personnel, you will have the opportunity to interview the candidates to determine if they are aligned to your company culture, we can administer a wide range of assessment tests from practical skills, deductive reasoning skills to personality tests, and we customize the interview process based on your best practices.

Will the personnel be shared with other clients?

While the employee(s) will be legally employed under Emapta, they will be exclusively working only for you and your organization. We put your company/brand first and treat your employees as an extension of your company in the Philippines – while Emapta is their support network on the ground.  We have found this to be a key success factor for high-performing teams and a great contributor to long-term employee retention.

What time zone are you in?

Emapta is located in the Philippines, which is UTC +8, but our teams work in different shifts, 24/7.

You decide when you want your team to work, this could be your countries’ office hours or alternative hours to provide after hour coverage.
