“We intended to hire three – we ended up hiring five. We’ve been really blown away by the quality of talent that’s been put forward to the interview. They are really good (talent), we didn’t want to let them slip.” – Michael, Aptus Construction Systems
For Aptus Construction Systems, a Brisbane-based construction technology company, partnering with Access Offshoring not only solved immediate hiring challenges but also unlocked a sustainable, offshore talent pipeline that continues to support their long-term growth.
The challenge
Aptus Construction Systems, a Brisbane-based construction technology company, faced a need to scale their workforce rapidly. Despite consistent local recruitment efforts, the team struggled to attract enough applicants – let alone high-quality candidates. The Brisbane talent pool was limited, competitive and unable to supply the specialised skill sets Aptus required. Previous positive experiences with offshore teams gave the company confidence that expanding overseas might offer a solution. However, they still needed a trusted partner who could identify strong talent while ensuring cultural alignment and long-term success.
How Access Offshoring helped
Access Offshoring worked with Aptus to tap into the Philippines’ diverse talent market. Instantly expanding the candidate pool beyond what was possible locally. By recruiting remotely across the entire country, Access Offshoring was able to source high-quality applicants from multiple regions, not just Manila. Aptus initially set out to hire two team members. However, the calibre of candidates presented exceeded expectations. In both hiring rounds, the team expanded their intake-first from two to three hires, then from three to five because they didn’t want exceptional talent to slip away.
The outcome
The results were immediate and impactful:
Faster, higher-quality hiring that outperformed their initial expectations.
Exceptional offshore team members who consistently delivered above and beyond.
Confidence to scale further, with Aptus planning future trips and additional hires because of the value their offshore team provides
Aptus now travels to the Philippines twice a year to work and train with their offshore team members. Access Offshoring also supported them in building strong rapport with their offshore team through cultural nuance training.
