Stop hiring the wrong people. Start hiring vetted ones.
TruthHire screens remote talent from the Philippines and Latin America for the things resumes don't show — mindset, commitment, and work ethics. Then we place them direct with US, UK, and Australian businesses for a total $1,500 placement fee. Pay once. Own the hire.

If you've been burned by hiring before, you're in the right place.
Most founders we talk to in the US, UK, and Australia have a story. A hire that looked perfect on paper but never gelled. An agency that took 25% of salary and disappeared. A marketplace that charged $30K to convert the freelancer they already liked. We built TruthHire to solve all three.
Get the Free 7-Question Hire Quality Checklist
The exact 7 questions to ask before hiring any remote contractor. Plus 12 red flags that scream “skip this candidate.” Free 19-page PDF — delivered to your inbox in under a minute.
"The first hire didn't last."
Resumes don't show work ethic. We do reference calls, dig into tenure patterns, and ask the questions that surface commitment — before we present anyone.
"The agency fee was insulting."
$15K to $50K placement fees for a remote hire? No. We charge $1,500 once. The math is built around the founder, not the agency.
"I got locked in."
Monthly staffing services keep you paying forever. Marketplaces hit conversion fees. We hand you the hire on day one and step out of the way.
Skills can be taught. Mindset can't.
Most agencies vet for resumes. We vet for the person behind the resume. For a startup or growing business, the difference is everything — a hire with strong mindset, real commitment, and proven work ethics outperforms a skilled-but-checked-out hire every quarter. So we built our screening around that truth.
MINDSET
Does the candidate think like an owner, not just an employee? Scenario questions reveal it. Owners ship. Employees report.
COMMITMENT
Will they still be invested 6 months in? We dig into past role tenure and why they left previous jobs. Job-hoppers don't pass first round.
WORK ETHICS
Do they finish what they start? We ask for real examples — projects shipped, deadlines met under pressure, mistakes owned. References when we can.
SKILLS + AI FLUENCY
Only AFTER the human check do we verify skills, role-specific experience, and fluency with modern tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, Zapier). Technical fit confirms human fit.
It’s not a faster process. It’s a more honest one. That’s the point.
The math doesn't lie.
Tried OnlineJobs.ph or Upwork already? Here's why founders come to us next.
Most founders try DIY first. They post on OnlineJobs.ph or Upwork, get 200 applicants, can’t vet them properly, and make a hire that costs 30-50% of first-year salary when it doesn’t work out (per US Department of Labor data). Then they look for help. TruthHire is what they find. Here’s the honest comparison so you can decide before you spend that time.
| Option | Cash cost | Your time | Quality protection |
|---|---|---|---|
| OnlineJobs.ph | $69-99/mo subscription | 150-300 hours per hire (you do all vetting) | None — anyone can post a profile |
| Free basic post; $7-10/day promoted | 100-200 hours filtering applicants | None — you screen everyone yourself | |
| Indeed Sponsored | $25/job min; typical $150-1,200/mo | 100-200 hours filtering applicants | None — you screen everyone yourself |
| Upwork | $4-25/hr × hours worked | 50-100 hours filtering profiles | Reviews only; you verify skills |
| Recruitment Agency | 15-25% of first-year salary ($7.5K-25K) | 20-40 hours of interviews | Replacement (varies 30-90 days) |
| TruthHire | $1,500 flat once | 5-10 hours total (you interview 5 finalists) | 4-pillar vetting + 90-day same-role guarantee |
TruthHire isn’t always the cheapest cash option. OnlineJobs.ph at $99/month is cheaper if you have 150+ hours to spend on screening. We’re the option for founders who’d rather pay $1,500 once and reclaim their time. That’s the trade. We’re honest about it because TRUTH is in the name.
How it works.
Three steps from "I need to hire someone" to "they started Monday."
1. Tell us who you need
Five-minute intake form. Role, must-have skills, working hours, budget. We hop on a 15-minute kickoff call to confirm fit. After the call, you pay a $500 refundable downpayment and we begin sourcing the same day.
2. We vet for mindset first. Skills second.
In 21 days, we screen 50-100 applicants through the four-pillar vetting process (mindset, commitment, work ethics, skills + AI fluency). You receive 5 vetted finalists with video introductions, our interview notes, and the option to add your own assessments.
3. Hire direct. Forever.
You interview the finalists, choose your hire, and we issue the final $1,000 invoice. Pay it in full and we hand over your candidate's contract and contact details. You sign with them directly, pay them via Wise, Deel, or your existing payroll. Total = $1,500. No monthly fees, no markup, no lock-in.
Why TruthHire is different.
Three reasons US, UK, and Australian businesses trust us with their next hire.
We vet humans, not resumes.
We expect under 5% of placements to need a replacement — because the human work happens up front. To date, no client has needed to invoke our 90-day guarantee.
Dual-region coverage (PH + LATAM)
Most agencies pick one region. We source from both the Philippines and Latin America, so we match the role to the time zone you actually need. Need US business hours? LATAM. Need Australia coverage? Philippines.
$1,500 total. $0 forever.
Compare to monthly staffing services that take $1,500-$3,000 a month perpetually, percentage-of-salary recruiters charging $12,000-$28,000 per hire, or marketplaces with $14,000-$50,000 conversion penalties. With TruthHire, you pay $500 to start (refundable), $1,000 on hire — and own the relationship.
Roles we fill
Common placements across 30+ role types.
