OneTeamAnywhere

About

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.

  • Founded: 2020

Exclaim IT

Exclaim IT was founded in 2006 with a simple but powerful insight: traditional recruitment agencies were getting it wrong. The 360-degree recruitment model - where one person juggles clients, contractors, and jobseekers - was creating friction for everyone. So Exclaim IT did something different. They split the role, creating a 180-degree recruitment model where Connections Partners support employers and Engagement Specialists help job seekers. This structural innovation allowed everyone to focus on what they do best, delivering a higher-quality, more personalized experience. Over the past 18 years, Exclaim IT has grown from a Brisbane startup into one of Australia's most trusted IT recruitment agencies. They've placed thousands of technology and digital professionals, built deep relationships across government and private sectors, and earned accreditations from APSCo, CCIQ QAssure, and Local Buy. Their team doesn't just fill positions - they understand the technical landscape, from enterprise architecture and SAP cybersecurity to full-stack development and cloud infrastructure. They're active contributors to the tech community, hosting industry events, publishing workplace culture research, and sharing insights that help both candidates and clients navigate a dynamic hiring market. At its core, Exclaim IT believes the future of technology is human - and that philosophy drives everything they do.
