Hunt St connects Australian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with professionals in the Philippines, facilitating direct hiring relationships at roughly half the cost of traditional recruitment agencies. The company has served over 1,000 SME clients and reports cumulative cost savings of $25 million for those businesses.
The firm's recruitment service sources more than 300 applicants per role, conducts targeted technical assessments, and delivers vetted shortlists to clients. According to the company, this process yields an average time-to-hire of 18 days and a 94% talent retention rate. Hunt St distinguishes itself from business process outsourcing (BPO) providers and freelance marketplaces, positioning itself as a recruitment partner that charges a one-time placement fee rather than taking ongoing margins from salaries.
The company operates across Australia and the Philippines, with an emphasis on ethical, legal, and sustainable offshore hiring practices. It frames its model as fairer for both employers and the Filipino professionals it places, aiming to create lasting direct employment relationships rather than managed service arrangements.
