Sydney, Australia – September 16, 2026 – Tarino, a specialist offshore recruitment company serving Australian professional services and service businesses, is outlining its direct-hire approach for firms comparing offshore staffing options. The company recruits professionals in the Philippines for roles including mortgage broker support, accounting, administration, marketing and technical support.
The approach separates candidate recruitment from ongoing employment administration. Tarino sources and assesses candidates for the client to select, with a one-time recruitment fee and no ongoing recruitment markups. The business manages the team member’s daily work, while the appropriate employment arrangement is considered separately.
A direct-hire alternative to managed offshore outsourcing
For business owners researching how to hire offshore, the provider comparison involves more than a quoted monthly price. Recruitment, employment administration, equipment, supervision and operational support can be supplied in different combinations.
Tarino’s model is designed for businesses that want help finding and assessing a dedicated offshore professional while retaining day-to-day management. Firms seeking a fully managed operational service should compare that requirement against the scope of each provider’s offering.
Tarino also offers separately priced employer-of-record support powered by Deel. This provides an additional option for businesses that require employment administration. Recurring employment-service charges are distinct from the company’s one-time recruitment fee.
The company’s offshore hiring resources (tarino.au/resources) cover role selection, recruitment and team management. Businesses comparing models can use these topics to identify the responsibilities they want to retain and the support they need from a provider.
Specialist recruitment for Australian mortgage brokerages
Tarino has helped Australian mortgage brokerages ranging from solo operators to large businesses, with clients operating across a range of aggregator groups. Its work has included recruiting several people into the same organisation across specialist, general support and management roles, as well as helping businesses build out their entire back-office function. Searches also cover loan processors, credit analysts, parabrokers and client services staff, with responsibilities defined around each brokerage’s workflow and experience requirements.
These roles can support document collection, loan packaging, lender follow-ups and pipeline coordination. Relevant systems may include Mercury, MyCRM, Infynity, BrokerEngine, Salestrekker and ApplyOnline, depending on the position.
Tarino co-founder Chris Tan’s background includes building a mortgage brokerage and an offshore team. He was recognised in MPA’s Top 100 Brokers for 2025. This industry experience informs the company’s focus on matching candidates to the practical work required by a brokerage.
Further information is available on Tarino’s mortgage broker support recruitment page (tarino.au/roles/mortgage-brokers).
Assessing capability before the client interview
Tarino’s published recruitment process includes screening, video communication checks, practical assessments, structured interviews and reference checks. Its team operates across Sydney and the Philippines.
The process evaluates relevant experience alongside communication, judgement and the ability to work independently. Practical tasks are used to assess capability beyond interview performance, with clients selecting their preferred candidate from the resulting shortlist.
Tarino also offers six-month replacement cover for the same role under its applicable terms. Businesses considering offshore recruitment can discuss the role, assessment requirements, employment arrangements and service inclusions before commencing a search.
