The Challenge
Inability to Scale Quickly
The LOTE Agency found itself having troubles with scaling up or down at a faster pace than what they were expecting. They needed the flexibility to adapt anytime to their changing work volume and business needs.
Increased Workload
Contracts and customers keep coming in at The LOTE Agency, and they needed more high-quality talents to pick up the load and ensure that their operations still run smoothly.
The Solution
We swiftly drew up job descriptions and started sourcing for their talent needs. We provided them with quality Filipino talent within only 20 days.
Penbrothers also managed the end-to-end HR function for The LOTE Agency’s Filipino remote team—from sourcing, onboarding, and payroll to benefits and offboarding.
Niña Azares gets fulfillment in working for a company whose mission she shares deeply: fostering cultural understanding and amplifying the voices of a diverse community. Her story highlights the Philippines’ potential in the global workforce. Passionate and driven Filipinos like her can help businesses bridge cultural divides and serve diverse communities effectively.
“Penbrothers opened an opportunity for me to enjoy the flexibility of working remotely and with an international company where I learn about different cultures,” Niña shares.
By building an offshore team, The LOTE Agency now caters to more clients and serves the existing ones better. Its in-house team also focuses on providing boots-on-the-ground support to their clients while the Filipino remote team, hired through Penbrothers, takes care of project support among other things.
Also, The LOTE Agency saved an average of 75% of the total employee costs.
