Common Questions & Answers

How good can an overseas contractor or employee really be?

The candidates we hire have been able to build out client success divisions, organize events, run financial analyses, build competitive landscape charts, and take on operations roles at Sequoia and a16z backed startups.

I can find top-tier candidates on my own through recruiting websites

Our founders were born and raised in the Philippines. We’re deeply embedded in the culture of the countries we recruit from and understand nuances that international companies don’t. We’ve partnered with top university alumni networks, professors, and startup operators to find candidates you wouldn’t see looking for roles on a platform like Onlinejobs.ph, Jobstreet, Indeed, or Upwork.

Why shouldn’t I go with a cheaper managed services agency?

We pay our people almost double the average wage other companies do and take much lower margins. That means we get the first pick of sharp candidates over our competitors. We invest most of our resources into ensuring our North Star goal is met: 90% long-term retention rates with our hires. This means we spend far more time curating a search for people who are looking for long-term roles vs a gig, and invest into their growth through continuous upskilling and coaching after.

Why trust us?

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.

If this is such a good deal, why aren’t more people hiring Filipinos?

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.
