Engagement models

How much do you want to manage yourself?

The only variable is who manages the day-to-day work. Everything operational is ours.

Every professional arrives AI-equipped: GitHub Copilot, Claude, automated testing. That is the baseline in every model, not a tier. How our teams use AI

Most clients start here

Dedicated Professional: you direct the work

You assign and prioritise; we handle HR, payroll, IT, and retention.

Best when you have technical leadership in-house.

Need us to take more of the management? Two options

Senior Professional: takes initiative

A senior who owns quality and coordinates lightly, so you manage less.

Managed Offshore Team: you own the roadmap

We run delivery, coordination, and quality; you set the outcomes.

Available as a pre-configured Engineering Pod

Whichever you choose, HR, payroll, compliance, IT and retention are always ours. What operational ownership includes

OFFSHORE, WITHOUT THE TRADE-OFF

Going offshore does not mean settling for less

Three things you do not give up by building your team with us, and the one thing you do.

Your engineers won't be less rigorous.

Every engineer is screened across 6 disciplines before placement: fundamentals, AI development skills, architecture, quality and testing, DevOps, and communication. AI writes much of the code; a human who has proven they can review, test and secure it owns every line.

Your operations won't be less covered.

Recruitment, payroll, HR, Philippine labour compliance, IP assignment, IT setup, performance monitoring and a replacement guarantee are in every engagement. Not a premium tier, the baseline. You never inherit any of it.

Your team won't be less stable.

Building teams since 2012, with founding clients still active today. Professionals belong to your team and to a community of 200+ IT peers, which is what makes them stay rather than move on after a project.

Cost comparison

What a dedicated professional costs in USD

WORKING HOURS

Overlap with Toronto, Vancouver and everything between

Manila is 12–15 hours ahead of Canada. We shift the working day so the overlap is real, and hand the rest over in writing.

4–6 hours live overlap with Eastern time, morning handover to Pacific
  • Shifted start for live overlap

    Your professionals start in the Philippine afternoon, so Eastern-time standups, pairing and reviews all happen with them on the call.

  • Written handover for the rest

    Outside the overlap everything runs async: end-of-day notes, PRs raised overnight, blockers flagged before you log off. Pacific-time teams pick up finished work each morning.

Transparent & Predictable Pricing

We believe in simple, transparent pricing without hidden fees or complex contracts.

How Our Pricing Works

  • Indicative pricing based on role & seniority
  • Final rates confirmed after professional selection
  • Monthly invoicing, predictable spend
  • No hidden sourcing or termination fees

Frequently Asked Questions - Canadian Market

Common questions from Canadian businesses about hiring developers Philippines and IT outsourcing

A.We strategically coordinate with Canadian time zones to generally provide optimal collaboration. Eastern companies typically get 4-6 hours of overlap, while Western companies benefit from morning Philippines and evening Canada coordination.

A.Our monthly cost per professional is published in USD on this page, so you can compare it directly against what the same role costs you in Canada. We do not publish a Canadian salary benchmark, so we will not put a percentage on it. On top of the rate difference you also drop the employer costs of a local hire: benefits, CPP, EI and local overhead.

A.With offshore development teams, you are not employing Canadian staff, so there is generally no requirement for CPP or EI contributions. This typically provides immediate savings on total employment and administrative costs.

A.We can generally deploy dedicated development teams for Canadian companies within 2-3 weeks with available candidates, or 4-6 weeks when custom recruitment is required. Our targeted onboarding typically includes compliance briefing, time zone coordination, and integration with Canadian business practices for rapid results.

A.Offshore development teams typically eliminate provincial employment law risks entirely. You are purchasing services, which generally removes wrongful termination liability, severance requirements, and complex provincial HR regulatory burdens from your organization.

A.Our offshore development teams generally maintain strict data privacy compliance aligned with PIPEDA requirements. We typically implement enterprise-grade security protocols, encrypted communications, and secure development environments to protect Canadian personal information.

A.Canadian companies typically hire developers from the Philippines for the cost gap against local hiring, English as an official working language, cultural alignment, PIPEDA compliance, and time zone advantages, while generally eliminating provincial employment law risks and benefit obligations.

A.Software outsourcing from Canada to the Philippines with Global BrainForce means hiring dedicated, full-time developers who integrate into your team, not short-term contractors.
