THE PROBLEM
The outsourcing agency model is designed to keep you paying.
Outsourcing agencies take a 50-80% cut from your staff's salary - every single month. The more you grow, the more you pay. There's no finish line.
50–80%
Ongoing salary markup - forever
Pay someone $3,000/month? The agency takes $1,500-$2,400 from that. Every. Single. Month. That's $28,800/year - and it grows every time you give your staff a raise.
$70–100k
Cost of a local admin hire
Salary, super, leave entitlements, equipment. The cost of a local support hire is high - and a lot of firms can't afford it but can't afford to not hire either.
10–20 hrs
Per week lost to admin
Most broker and accounting firm owners are spending 10–20 hours a week on tasks that shouldn't be on their plate. That's $300/hr work sitting undone while you chase compliance docs.
THE TARINO MODEL
One fee. You own the hire.
No agency in the middle — ever again.
Direct hire is how top-tier Australian recruitment has always worked. Tarino applies that model to offshore. You pay once to find your person, then they're yours. No ongoing cost. No dependency.
PRICING
One flat fee of $5,000
That's it. No retainer, no markup, no percentage of salary. The fee pays for the end-to-end search, vetting, screening, and placement. After that, you're done paying us.
OWNERSHIP
You own the relationship
Your hire works for you — not through us. You pay their salary directly. You manage them directly. Tarino steps out of the picture after day one. That's the point.
PROTECTION
6-month guarantee
If it doesn't work out within six months — for any reason — we find a replacement at no additional cost. No questions asked.
HOW IT WORKS
From brief to placed hire in three steps
1
Tell us the role
We start with a 20-minute call to understand your business, the role, and what good looks like for you. Loan processor, bookkeeper, paraplanner, compliance admin — we've placed them all. Then we run the full search across overseas job boards, networks, and direct outreach.
You do: 20-min call. We do: everything else.
2
We vet. You meet the best.
Every candidate goes through CV screening, practical skills testing, video interviews, and background checks. You only meet the shortlist — typically 2–3 candidates who are genuinely worth your time. No CV dumps.
You do: 1–2 hours of interviews. We do: weeks of screening.
3
You choose. You pay once. They're yours.
When you find your person, you make an offer and they start. You pay Tarino the rest of the fee. That's the last payment you ever make to us. They work for you, paid by you, managed by you — no agency in the middle.
6-month replacement guarantee from start date.
REAL RESULT
$133,000 in fees saved.
Same hire. Better model.

COMMON QUESTIONS
The questions we get asked often.
"How is this different from using an outsourcing agency?"
Outsourcing agencies charge a monthly fee on top of the staff salary — typically $2,000–$3,000 a month, forever. With Tarino, you pay a one-time placement fee and the staff member works directly for you. No ongoing markup, no middleman, no lock-in. Over five years that's the difference between $5,000 in fees and $138,000.
"What does the $5,000 fee cover?"
Everything up to the hire. Job brief, headhunting, resume screening, video assessments, practical skills testing, background checks, and reference checks. You get a shortlist of vetted candidates, you pick the one you want, and they start. The fee is paid once and only if you choose to make the hire — there's nothing after that.
"Where do you source the talent?"
Our talent pool is centred on high-calibre professionals in the Philippines and Nepal - selected for their strong English communication, proven work ethic, alignment with Australian business standards, integrity, and seamless timezone compatibility with Australian teams. While we specialise in Philippines and Nepal based talent, we can also source from other countries on request.
"How long does it take?"
Most placements are completed within 2–4 weeks from brief to start date.
"What about client data security?"
You control access. Most firms run role-based permissions in their CRM and practice management software, so your hire only sees what they need to. Client data is no more exposed than it would be with any other employee — because the access controls are entirely yours.
"What if the hire doesn't work out?"
Tarino offers a 6-month replacement guarantee, no questions asked. If your hire doesn't work out in the first six months, we find you a replacement at no additional cost. That's how confident we are in our vetting process.
WHO'S BEHIND TARINO
Built by a broker
who lived this
problem.
I'm Chris Tan — former MPA Top 100 / #38 nationally. Before founding Tarino, I built Neses Finance to $400M in annual loan volume and a 6-person offshore team.
I know what it looks like when a business owner is doing $500/hr work and $20/hr admin in the same afternoon. I was that person.
Tarino exists because the offshore agency model in Australia is broken. Ongoing markups, hidden costs, poor vetting. I built the firm I wished existed when I was running a broking business — direct hire, one fee, no dependency.
