An Open Letter from our CEO:
The Future of Work is Hybrid
Hello World —
Welcome to Guild.
Hiring is hard. Finding the right people who possess the skills, let alone the cultural fit is challenging locally and it’s even harder when you’re hiring abroad.
It’s getting more expensive and taking more time, especially if you want to hire in a metropolitan city like SF, NYC, LA, Sydney, London, Singapore and so many more. And the demand for highly-skilled labor from such cities is greater than the local supply, and it’s growing…
The cost of living is also on the rise, and businesses not only want to survive in this world, but they want to thrive.
We’ve seen too many examples of how promising companies throw in the towel too early because they simply can’t find the right talent – either they were too expensive or simply did not know anyone with the right networks.
Something needs to change, and this is where Guild comes in.
Guild is a curated service that sources, vets and matches highly-skilled remote talent (A-players) with companies across the US, APAC and Europe, and doing all the heavy lifting around hiring, payroll and even compliance.
Opportunity is not evenly distributed and we’ve come across incredible talent in countries where they were traditionally overlooked. Now we have a chance to put a spotlight on these regions and the individuals.
The future of work is hybrid, and we will not stand idly by and see another business fail because of a talent shortage.
Guild is our way to show that finding great remote talent can be achieved with the right systems, culture and people.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does your talent come from?
We primarily source vetted skilled talent from the Philippines, Vietnam and LatAm – we do this to create diversity across timezones for our clients. All candidates are English proficient in written and spoken communication.
Who are your engagements with?
We work with a variety of partners across small-to-mid market companies, from Sydney to San Francisco, London, NYC, Singapore and many other cities. We usually engage directly with founders, executives, and department leads who are in charge of the hiring process.
How do I know your candidate can get the job done?
Our strict vetting process ensures we filter only those who are aligned with the role and the culture. We conduct an extensive interview to evaluate their skills and their previous experience.
Do you charge any upfront fees?
Nope. You only pay when you make that hire!
What does your pricing look like?
Our pricing will be determined once we find that perfect candidate for you. In general, the pricing will reflect the role, the experience level and their region of residence. Ultimately, you can expect to save up to 80% in labor costs when as compared to hiring in your local region.
How do I pay my candidates?
The great thing is that you pay directly through Guild. We take care of payroll so you don’t have to.
Do you offer any guarantees?
We provide a 3-month placement guarantee. This means that we will help find you a replacement candidate within the first three months if any issues arise.
What roles can I apply for as a candidate?
We hire for key roles that move the needle for a business – the primary areas cover a variety of positions across engineering, finance, marketing and admin. You can browse and apply for our roles here.
How much do I actually save?
Every region and role will be different, but on average, you can expect to save up to 80% on labor costs.
Can’t I just hire from UpWork or other freelancing platforms?
Yes you can. But we value quality over quantity and finding a great candidate who is perfectly aligned with the skills and the culture is like finding a needle in a haystack. We also don’t offer ‘freelancers’ for short periods (a few weeks), but instead embed candidates into businesses over longer time horizons i.e. several months to years.
Do you manage the candidate?
Yes we do. We take care of sourcing, vetting, payroll and compliance of the candidate to save time, money and precious resources from the business. We know how challenging it can be to find, hire and manage remote talent. We do the heavy lifting for you.
What’s your culture like?
In general, we promote a culture of having a growth mindset, accountability, integrity and customer obsession at the epicenter of what we do. We’re focused on training and educating our team to operate at their best. It’s not just about getting the job done, but it’s also about ensuring they’re an integral part of the team and they feel valued on their contributions.
Why do you exist?
While there are a few staffing solution providers out there. We’re a bit different. We can’t work with everyone. We exist because we’ve seen too many businesses flounder and fail because they simply could not access the right talent. We exist to provide opportunities to incredible individuals in regions that were previously overlooked and to partner them with companies that need that support.
