The talent, the hours and the cost base
Pakistan is newer to many Australian businesses than the Philippines or India. These are the reasons we built our team in Karachi, and how we run it day to day.
Why we built our team here
- 01
A Large, Qualified Talent Pool
Deep enough to fill specialist roles, not only entry-level ones.
- 02
Genuine English Fluency
An official language and the medium of higher education. Written English tends to be strong.
- 03
Software Your Business Already Runs
Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks and the major CRMs. We test on your stack before shortlisting.
- 04
A Materially Lower Cost Base
Below both the Philippines and India, which is why the savings are larger than you may have seen elsewhere.
- 05
Working Hours Aligned To Your Day
Five hours behind AEST, six during daylight saving. We agree the shift window with you.
- 06
Retention
Lower turnover matters more than the headline rate once you've trained someone on your processes.
How the hours line up
Five hours behind AEST, six during daylight saving. We agree the shift window with you.
