Article: You're hiring the wrong EA
testimonials
"I cannot recommend Catena’s services enough. The quality of candidates they were able to provide us with was unmatched.
The EA we hired had high integrity, problem-solving horsepower, and a desire to deliver excellence. Consequently, she was able to upskill quickly and take a lot more work off my plate than I originally thought possible. I am looking forward to continuing to work with Catena for all of our company's EA needs."

"Catena helped us quickly fill an executive assistant role. She onboarded quickly and since then, has taken over running the logistics of my and other C-suite executives' lives at our company. I have so much more headspace now to focus on sales and growth with the hire Catena found for us."

Offshore Common Myth Busters
We've busted the most common myths and objections with hiring an offshore Operator
Myth #1
I can find top-tier candidates on my own through recruiting websites.
The Truth
Our founders were born and raised in the Philippines. We’re deeply embedded in the culture of the country we recruit from and understand nuances that international companies don’t. We’ve partnered with top Filipino university alumni networks, professors, and startup operators to find candidates that you wouldn’t see looking for roles on a platform like Jobstreet, Indeed, or Upwork.
Myth #2
The quality of an offshore Filipino contractor or employee is low.
The Truth
Top Universities in the Philippines produce high-caliber job candidates every year. While some online service marketplaces might prove that not all offshore talent is outstanding, the candidates who work with Catena come from the best universities, global brands, and growing startups.
Myth #3
I can't trust a recruiting agency.
The Truth
We founded Catena after helping countless friends and friends of friends replicate our winning hiring model. We’ve built successful startups in the US and Canada, and spent time making international hiring mistakes to perfect our process. We’ve helped dozens of companies hire some of their best-performing employees while being thanked for the savings on cost of labor.
Myth #4
If this was a good deal, more people would be hiring Filipinos
The Truth
COVID and remote work opened up a new section of Filipino talent to international remote roles. Top tier-Filipino talent didn’t use to look for jobs online. Post-COVID they’re realizing this is an incredible opportunity. They’re now able to 1) earn 2-3x in wages, 2) save 2 hours a day otherwise spent in traffic, and 3) learn from top operators like you in a much less culturally hierarchical work environment.
