How CC Pines is scaling a global team by compliantly hiring abroad with Outstaffer

Founded in 1977, CC Pines is a global company specialising in delivering large, complex and remote industrial construction projects. With a diverse team of skilled professionals, including engineers, project managers and site personnel, CC Pines provides construction solutions in Australia, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. However, with a rapid growth plan in action, CC Pines was looking for an EOR to help scale their global team. During COVID-19, one of CC Pines' valued employees moved back home to South America, but rather than letting them go, the company used it as an opportunity to try working with employees in other countries. When CC Pines decided it was ready to scale its capacity and capability, they wanted to hire globally, specifically in the Philippines. However, hiring international talent often comes with complexities, ranging from navigating international payroll and taxes to ensuring compliance with local labour laws. The company tried for many months to hire Mechanical Engineers in Australia but could not find the right talent to meet their requirements.

CC Pines decided to use an EOR to bridge the gap and reached out to Outstaffer for help hiring a Mechanical engineer. Outstaffer was able to find them the talent they needed and took on all the HR hiring burdens, handling legal compliance and mitigating the administrative complexities of global employment. They not only found a Mechanical Engineer but have since helped them find and legally hire several design engineers to help them scale. Outstaffer handled all the administrative and HR hurdles of hiring international staff so CC Pines could focus on what matters. The convenient time cross-over between Australia and the Philippines has also enabled CC Pines to extend their working days from eight hours to eleven.

720+ reduction in hiring costs, 50% reduction in hiring costs, less than 1 day to onboard new hires, 60% reduction in operational costs, 128+ hours saved a month on admin, 5% hours saved a month on payroll. CC Pines has successfully hired design engineers who are highly skilled and hardworking - in fact, they do not hesitate to put in long hours if required. This has allowed them to focus on their strategic initiatives - working on the business. They plan to add even more positions with Outstaffer and continue sourcing talent from the Philippines because the region has strong talent with intelligence, technical skills and work ethic.
