OneTeamAnywhere (OTA) is a Manila-based firm, founded in 2020, that connects global technology companies with software developers in the Philippines. It handles the full employment infrastructure on the ground - payroll, HR, compliance, and operations - so that international clients can hire dedicated, exclusive remote team members without establishing a local legal entity.
The company offers two interlinked services: talent placement and employer-of-record operations. On the placement side, OTA sources and matches Philippine developers to client teams, with an average time-to-placement of under three weeks. Clients retain direct, day-to-day control over the engineers, who work exclusively for them. On the operational side, OTA manages all local employment complexities, from payroll processing to statutory compliance. The company claims its model delivers cost savings of roughly 60% compared with equivalent domestic hiring in the client's home market.
OTA's experience includes building an 80-person engineering team for Lamudi, a real estate portal operating in Manila, which illustrates its capacity to scale distributed engineering functions. Co-founder Belvin Armenion brings 12 years of audit and consulting experience from EY, informing the firm's handling of compliance and financial operations. Clients span multiple countries and sectors, with a concentration in software and technology.
