A few people, without a Philippine company.

Skilled people who work in your team, under your direction, while ToolTwist is their employer of record. No entity to set up, no payroll to run.

Do you recognise this?

  • You need skilled people now, and hiring takes months.
  • Turnover keeps resetting your team’s knowledge.
  • You’d rather not set up employment, payroll and compliance in another country.
  • Your clients ask for work your own team can’t staff.

We handle sourcing, employment, payroll, HR and compliance in the Philippines, and we carry the risk if someone leaves. Your people work from home or from our Clark office, and report to you.

Some clients want engineers embedded directly in their own environment. Our Forward Deployed Engineers work inside your tools, rituals and codebase as part of your team.

One simple price

Salary + one fixed monthly fee. No extras and no hidden on-costs.

Why Clark?

A three-university town about 90 km north of Manila, with its own international airport and less of the capital’s congestion. And it is the gateway to Pax Silica, the Philippines’ planned AI hub.
